And I second @tpneenan.bsky.social 's rec of @gradyhendrix.bsky.social! He is funny and demented and everything you want out of horror. Highly rec his Slaying Vampires book and his podcast. www.kmuw.org/podcast/book...

getting Education Prep programs(EPPs) to hire profs who will teach w/ AI. Right now, we can't even get professors to teach best practices in how to teach reading, let alone use data to inform teaching. +so good to hear Khan talking about mastery (competency) based teaching. @capitalisnt.bsky.social

Great convo w/ @bethanymclean.bsky.social @zingales.bsky.social but you were all too nice about how American education is failing students. Look up recent literacy and math scores (I live in OR, 50th when adjusted for demographics). One challenge will be 1/2 www.capitalisnt.com/episodes/sho...

Makes me wish I were writing short stories and not novels. Love @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social Wonderbook--his chapter on beginning where he analyzes Finch opening--brilliant. If you can, take this offer up.

I also appreciate the discussion of the many 90s misogynistic tropes. Just to add another, Caroline Heldman's FFT's (Fighting Fuck Toys) is a useful one that pops up quite a bit. gointothestory.blcklst.com/the-hunger-g...

““The Hunger Games,” Hollywood, and Fighting F*ck Toys”

I’ve never heard of Caroline Heldman until recently, but her blog is now on my to-read list. This post, forwarded to me by a talented young writer Gyan Alexander, drills down to the heart of why…

So fun listening to @emmanewman.bsky.social & @aptshadow.bsky.social talk about my fav plotless 90s sci-fi film, The Fifth Element (Patreon only post—worth it!!!) Also, action star B. Willis’ orange tank top with a strappy back—my fav touch of gay. So ahead of its time! www.starshipalexandria.com

Preschool for all is ONE tax. What about the cost of the huge new infrastructure bill? What about the 800FTE at the Oregon Department of Ed who mostly make sure districts check boxes? So much waste and yet this is what she's going after? This is feminism 101 stuff--families need childcare.
