🎮 I got Metroid: Samus Returns. I’m really enjoying it. I know there will be parts that are super difficult, but I am happy to use walkthroughs or whatever. I’m also finding that I don’t mind having to repeatedly try a fight in this game as much as I sometimes do, so that’s nice.

Hey y’all! The Connected Learning Lab published the work from my postdoc today! Two new reports for library staff and leaders compiling valuable insights and recommendations to foster teen engagement through Connected Learning. Learn more about the project and find reports and checklists here.

Community Partnerships: Expanding capacity to serve youth in all areas of connected learning, represented by an open book. Storytelling About Youth Outcomes: Demonstrating impact through compelling storytelling, depicted by a light bulb. Innovative Staff: Effective champions are staff who are lifelong learners and innovators, symbolized by a rocket ship. The bottom of the images highlights two new reports titled "Transformative Outcomes through Community Engagement" available at clalliance.org/connected-learning-through-libraries

🎮 Finished Metroid: Zero Mission.

This is a remake of the original NES Metroid with a lengthy epilogue. I mostly enjoy Metroidvanias for the exploration.

I’ve been doing French on Duolingo for a bit over a year (and Dutch before that) and this morning I realized I can translate a not insubstantial amount of Threw It On The Ground into French.

Je suis un adulte!

Mon pere n’est pas un téléphone! Duh!

Hey friends of Micro.blog.

  1. I am a contractor working mostly on M.b curation for about 5 hours a week. So if you perceive I’m not doing as much as Jean did, you’re right!

  2. I also haven’t been around for about a week because of a big family medical emergency. Everyone’s okay now.
