I bought the Arden Vul PDF a couple of years ago and: (1) Richard Barton wrote an awesome megadungeon (so detailed). (2) @jgbrowning.bsky.social made getting the hardcover discount codes super easy! (3) @3d6downtheline.com did an amazing actual play of Arden Vul (which is why I bought the PDFs).

@hellmanmd.bsky.social Did you see this goal? So impressive!

I just ordered one! I'm erupting with excitement!

The Night Before Khan youtu.be/Q6mry5sgs44?... Happy Holidays!

I desperately want to avoid a future where students use “ai” to complete assignments and teachers use “ai” to grade assignments That feels like the end of education

Best single day of in-person sales ever and it didn't even require going viral on social media the day before. I think this might just be a normal December for me now.

Floating the idea of a Middle Earth TTRPG campaign where you work at the Prancing Pony and your boss has sent you to collect seven dollars from the Black Rider who did seven dollars worth of damage while roughly looking for the Fellowship.

Do I know any Indigenous folks who make maps? Got a request for a paid design/cartography job and it'd be rad if I could connect you with them.

I teach a high school engineering course that is project-based, but I struggle so much with grading #PBL style classes. Does anyone have suggestions or articles they suggest reading? How do you balance process vs final product in grading? #SBG #grading #assessments

Dear Physicists and Physics fans, I would like to encourage you to celebrate #WomenInPhysics Day this Friday, November 7th. Why November 7th? Because it is the birthday of two of the most impactful women physicists of the 1900's: Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. 🎢 ⚛️ 🧪 👩‍🔬

When you’re 30 minutes into a Zumba class, and the new tune is Dance Again by Jennifer Lopez. The last thing I’m going to answering in the affirmative to is the question “ARE YOU FEELING SEXY???”. No. No I am not. I’m absolutely cream crackered is what I am. #EduExercisers

Halloween Physics 🎃🐈‍⬛👻🧙‍♀️ #iTeachPhysics #Science 🧪 youtu.be/XcJdXzqbOAI

Change one letter, ruin a candy. Baby Rath

Let's explain rocks by sandwiches. Trust me. Earth builds rock three main ways: it stacks, it cools from melt, or it presses and reheats what it already made. #Geology 🧵

Leading up to Halloween we ask, Why do some gummy brands rock, and why do others feel like you're chewing plastic? 🎃🍬👻 Read my little explainer for @cenmag.bsky.social: cen.acs.org/food/food-in...

Proud of the PSF for being true to their values. I wish more would do this. And if anyone has $1.5 million kicking around, I know a group that could benefit from it.

Normally, I root for the National League teams in the World Series, but let's go Blue Jay's! #MLB It's almost an actual #WorldSeries too; it involves two countries instead of just one!

Voted for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social so hard I almost poked a hole through the ballot. #NYC #eattherich #nokings

Hey institutions that host professional development, podcasts, ed news, ed conferences, etc: Educators are desperate to hear from other educators about what’s working in their classrooms TODAY. Find the practicing educators and give them resources to teach other educators.

Our commissioned pieces finally arrived! #catart #chunkycat #ifitisit

If I could choose only one apple variety to eat raw and cook with for the rest of my life, I would have to choose the noble Macintosh apple. So tasty, sweet, tart, and versatile. #appleseason

I'm not sure I'm connected to any reading early ed people on here (sometimes I'm not sure I'm connected to anyone), but does anyone know anything about the efficacy of word searches?

Not many visitors to the map center today. Didn't make much money. But I did get to watch a mother and daughter pore over Anton Thomas's 'Wild World' map together for like an hour. The complete delight of a child being excited about learning is such a gift.

Budget cuts come for us all. My contract with Amtrak is not being renewed and it's up tomorrow. I'll have more time to work on the Map Center but until it's fully off the ground, I'm a GIS analyst with 12 years of experience in ESRI, open source, education and cartography. #gigeconomy #opentowork

I made my decision. Kyanite is a cool mineral & I'll always think fondly of my first #MinCup25 when I see it. BUT, I want to support an under represented up and comer, the one who brings energy, and could bring about lasting, positive change. Wait...am I still talking about #MinCup25? Go TUGTUPITE!

Tugtupite is a newer mineral to #MinCup25, but kyanite has been fighting to win since 2017. Do I vote for the newbie's meteoric rise to fame or do we give kyanite it's due after so many failed attempts? Arg, this has started out as fun and has now gotten hard. Kidding, not kidding. Arg!

Welp...it's now kyanite vs. tugtupite...the two minerals I've been rooting for the most. And now I have to choose. #MinCup25

Vote Reindeer Blood, Vote Tugtupite.

With an hour to go, this semifinal is going down to the wire! Only seven votes separate #Tugtupite & #Dioptase out of 1,536 cast. The Green Queen of the Desert v Greenland Reindeer Blood is way too close to call. If you haven’t voted, vote. If you have, get others. #MinCup25 bringing all the drama!

#MinCup25 ⚒️ sci-fi 🧪 🖖🏼 scifi Geosciences #WomenInSTEM geology 🔭🪐

Last semifinal! It’s #Tugtupite for me! It’s got an Indigenous name for reindeer blood & as elsewhere, it’s: tenebrescent, fluorescent in short & long wave UV & phosphorescent—from Greenland, it would go dim & mild during the long winters and then bright and intense during summer(!) #MinCup25

I need all of my New England friends to send me fall foliage photos please that will fix me

Kyanite is blue, anisotropic, and hypnotic. Let's see it make it to the finals! Vote but once: www.mineralcup.org/2025/vote/r4...

Team blue! I love #kyanite and it ‘s two different hardnesses #MinCup25

Fine norske kyanitt-eksemplarer funnet i norske veiskjæringer? Javisst har vi det, bare å spørre. (Det er aller best å spørre mindat.org, tror jeg.) #Kyanite #MinCup25

#Kyanite has a soft side as well as a side that's harder than steel. It takes on countless jobs because it can handle the heat better than most. Kyanite is strong and beautiful. #MinCup

team tugtupite over here! because there aren't enough minerals with indigenous names, imo. plus all the other reasons everyone else said

Today I met 2 Bsky people irl. I met a colleague whose work I've been inspired by. I put on a show featuring a friend and colleague I haven't seen in a while. 2 audience members came all the way to Pawtucket from Boston. My heart is so full.

💖 Looks like I'm cleared to cast my own #MinCup25 vote and I wanna make a post for pretty pink #tugtupite! It's got so many amazing properties and stole my heart with its superpowers! Gotta give my Indigenous vote to the Kalaallisut name origin, too! The way she glows! I'm so in love! Sorry Omen!

As in Rounds 1&2, it’s #Tugtupite for me! It’s got an Indigenous name & as @redsage.bsky.social said it is: tenebrescent, fluorescent in short & long wave UV & phosphorescent—from Greenland, it would go dim & mild during the long winters and then bright and intense during summer(!) #MinCup25
