H/t to @jonbecker.bsky.social for recommending deck.blue. I'm still figuring it out but it is making the sky ever bluer.

Putting "last chance" items around the corner and by the bathrooms that reek of urine is 🤮. Treating people in poverty in an inhumane way is too permitted.

I'm not sure if using AI is a tool I'm endorsing...(many issues with data scraping/unethical data curation/etc)... But the use of AI to organize, create a mentor piece, offer feedback is intriguing. And the task nudges us to find authentic ways that are AI proof in completion.

Great book. Jam, main character, wrestles with her internal compass of right and wrong in a utopian society that believes it's shut out humanity's monsters. Jam's identity as a trans girl who rarely communicates out loud and her best friend Redemption's throuple parents are 🌈🩷🤍🩵. #BookLove

America is certainly not the greatest country in the world... But one thing it has going for it is our ability to seek independence and fight for each other to get closer to freedom. On this 4th of July, here are some ways I celebrate/resist.

As a tech teacher/lover I find so much of my life is about 1) acknowledging the harm one might encounter online 2) conveying how any vehicle can give you access to danger AND to life giving/saving/restoring care. We need quality tech integration/lessons. Curious how Bluesky might be different
