Reflection was disco-ball-fun when @meaganmacdonald.bsky.social & @erikainka.bsky.social
presented @mirrortalk.ai at IDEAcon. Total thinking and learning bash! Not surprised to see @andrea-trudeau.bsky.social loving it.

Speaking of amazing, this OF grad went to Broadway in The Book of Mormon after his role in The Producers at The Paramount. Your buddy Jodie Hausken and I fangirled so hard from the first row. His name? Jake, of course. Jake Morrissy.

She would’ve loved it. AKR continues to inspire me. I’ll never delete her contact from my phone. Her time was too short but not short of extraordinary.

Likewise about fully processing how moved we were by you, John. I shoulda gone with the waterproof mascara today! Thank you doesn’t cover the impact you made.

Jason Reynolds on educators not letting our wounds fester or our muscles atrophy:
“We are all we’ve got.”
Gotta get teacher rage rooms as our next PD…
