Good to know! I’m still relying on KU as I build name recognition, but this looks like something worth considering!

I have never heard of itch.io
It seems to be a platform for game designers. Are authors there too? And what about readers?

Not obscure at all. The hesitancy in hitting the like button is worrying that we’ll be struck by lightening. I’m not a practicing catholic, but I’m well steeped in the art of guilt.

Yes, yes, yes!!!

Well, after the courts found them guilty of misleading the public & they had to pay millions in damages, a good chunk of the American public decided, “yup—I’d still rather get my info from there than anywhere else.” Getting rid of Fox won’t help if the majority of Americans choose drama over facts.

Unfortunately, all Fox wants to talk about is “what does gang activity look like”… and “how do South American gangs grow from interactions with LA gangs”… they refuse to touch the actual story of what is being done to a human and his family.

That’s the tricky part—making classes meaningful for real-time (and in my case, in-person interaction), but still valuable to those to are just observers. It really is an art! One that I’m admittedly still learning to hone.

I teach graduate-level literacy courses in a hybrid format—we meet 5-6 times per semester and the rest is asynchronous. I find even that model challenging. Creating meaningful content that is strictly one-directional never feels natural.

Now there’s a theme that never would have occurred to me! I love it!

That’s pretty good! I wish I could get the Lincoln Project to create some book trailers for me!

I’m definitely feeling like I picked a good time to finally get divorced. I legally changed back to my maiden name this week and couldn’t be happier! Now I need to get to Motor Vehicles to secure the license. This is insane!

I guess it's time that women stop taking their husband's names

I was at SSA recently (for my name change). An elderly man came in without an appointment because he hadn’t received his check. Fortunately, the woman was compassionate and added him into the lineup, but there will come a time when they just can’t. People will starve. People will die.
