It’s my final day in Denver! I’ve had a wonderful time at #NCTE25 & #CEL25. I'm recharged, inspired, and ready to take next steps! More to come!

Loved hearing from @mychal3ts.bsky.social this morning at #NCTE25!

Looking forward to attending and presenting at #NCTE25 and #CEL25!

Hoping travel to DEN for #NCTE25 will be smoother. 🤞🏻

I was one of the travelers battling airport disruptions over the weekend. Standby on a few flights, booking back tracking flights to get to a final destination. 4000 miles traveled over 19 hours. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

Reselling is one of my favorite hobbies. I love using this hobby to learn about different things. My new-to-me niche - matchbooks. I bought 1500+ at an estate sale. Each one cost $0.02, so there's opportunity, along with time to figure out what sells/sits. Here are the matchbooks I prepped today!

A picture is worth 1,000 words.

Today's the day! All the work and collaboration get to finally come together! Looking forward to cultivating voices at the MCTE Fall Conference 2025! #MCTE25

Time to dust off the socials for #MCTE25!

Happy 6-7 this weekend, teach!

Thoughts as I schedule ~90 emails to go out on Friday. Pros - Everyone gets the news at the same time. Cons - People gotta wait. Pros - Once scheduled, it's ready to go. Cons - Once I put the email address into the draft, I feel like the email becomes a 💣 . One false move and it's gone.

James Carter Cathcart, a voice actor who portrayed some of the most indelible characters in the “Pokémon” franchise and became a familiar presence in several other popular animated series, died on Tuesday. He was 71.

Jillian Michaels just claimed that California is a city on CNN NewsNight with Abby Philip Yikes. 😬.

In my quest to avoid paying for storage on my Google account, I always enjoy finding batches of emails I completely forgot about and deleting them, especially if they are 10+ years old. Anyone else battling this demon?

#Twitter is more ablaze than #BlueSky regarding #LinkedIn's fumble today with Pinpoint. I'll bring the negativity here too. I put "boat" and "ship" which wasn't specific enough for "ship parts." The Results screen isn't even letting me see what I guessed anymore too.

You can’t turn chicken shit into chicken salad. As Hegseth’s staffer is now telling the world, Hegseth has turned the Pentagon into a place of chaos. Our military and our country deserve serious leaders. If he cared about the institution he should man up, acknowledge he’s a distraction and resign.
