Each person has their own dialect. How you sound to other people is how you talk to yourself and reflects your attitudes and beliefs.

If hot chocolate is a hug and marshmallows are kisses, I'm in love. ❤️

"AI is the biggest threat to authors rn. The LLM it was trained on was all pirated material; no author was paid. The books that will be written by AI will be 'good enough' for the avg consumer, so will take over the market because of low cost." -Scott Turow (at author talk in StL) #EduSky #BookSky

TRUST is accepting the consequences without thinking about them. #EduSky #ThoughtOfTheDay #SELinEdu

In the winter, we live in a state of contraction - curled up, hunched over, elbows tucked. Take a minute to unfold. Look up, breathe in, and open your arms to embrace the quiet that is winter. #EduSky #SELinEdu

We can work and plan and execute a perfect CIRCUMSTANCE (lesson plan?) for people, but if their PERCEPTION (learning? experience?) of it does not match, it's not the success we thought. #EduSky #SELinEdu

In 2024, I read 28 books with an average length of 508 pages. You can tell which ones I read for our family book club! #EduSky #books #reading

Closet goals for Break. (Thanks Dillards for inspo) What's on your agenda? #EduSky

Happy Almost-Break school folx! As you start your Crazy Friday, ask, "How do I want to show up today?" #EduSky #SELinEdu #dailythought

I think it's better to live with purpose every day than to try and find your purpose and live just that. #EduSky #SELinEdu #dailythought

As you wind down your day, notice where in your body stress has landed. Now shift your full attention to somewhere like your kneecap and REALLY try to feel something for three breaths. I'll bet the stress was forgotten for just a bit! #EduSky #SELinEdu #mindfulness

Thank you @Google for *finally* making GForms' sharing options UI similar to the rest of the ecosystem! #EduSky

It's hard to be kind to other people, and hardest to be kind to ourselves, but we must try. (wisdom of James Norbury) #selfcare #EduSky #SELinEdu

I firmly believe that #SEL practice and instruction should be included in teacher prep programs. It would solve so many implementation barriers in the long term. Ideas on how to accomplish this? #SELinEdu #SELCoach #TeacherPrep #NewTeacher #StudentTeacher
