At an event. Older brother explaining to younger sister about this ruler. “It’s not feet. It’s inches. 12 inches make a foot.”

I cannot recreate this because I am too busy staring into its mystifying beauty.

‼️Look at this insanely perfect shot my husband just captured with his phone. We're both very sad he didn't have a real camera, but this is still amazing.

Finally got a chance to enjoy a media appreciation of one of my faves who passed this week. www.npr.org/2026/05/25/5...

Kid counting update: he can get to twenty, but still hits gibberish at 13/14/15 before landing nicely at 16. Incredible to witness.

Sonny Rollins starter pack: 1/ If you have never really listened to this guy and wondering where to start, the album Saxophone Colossus (1956, Prestige Records) is a near consensus choice. It showcases Rollins’s genius at a very early stage. youtu.be/_YynSucmcQo?...

Number one complaint I hear from non-cyclists in conversations about bicycles is that they wish cyclists would just follow the rules of the road.

I was helpfully informed by a passing motorist today that I am (or possibly my bike is?) “Not a car”

We’ve lost a real one.

I don’t know about the rest of you white Minnesotans out there. But I got a real good chance to work on my base farmers tan this weekend.

I have spent nearly the entire weekend outside and it has been glorious. First it was playing math with kids at a fairgrounds event and then today getting outdoor home and gardening tasks taken care of.

Conversing about the rules for duck stacking, a child wants to know if we put a duck on top of the tent and measure from the table, does that count?

If more curds are needed to make more whey, I am here for it! BRING ON THE CURDS!!!

7 yo just now: “this is a shape with a lot of sides. What is this shape called?” Me: “Depends on how many sides it has” 7 yo: [commences counting]

You might be in Minnesota if…

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

Today is Ona Judge Day. While the United States gears up for its 250th celebration, which inevitably includes the likes of George Washington, Ona Judge made her escape on May 21, 1796. The Washington household attempted her capture several times, but she was never caught. Forever free

This bike is pure joy! We've only done a brief test ride around the adjacent neighborhoods and it's already a hit. Not only are my wife and daughter loving every minute of it, but anyone who sees them instantly has a big smile on their face. This bike will make people think.

Probably @audreywatters.bsky.social does, or has, or should

A haiku I wrote in 2017 The mean syllables In a line of a haiku Is five and two thirds

Reading an article about edu-chatbots that describes Sal Khan as universally admired and now I am worried that Sal’s chatbot is a primary source for this article

Scalene, isosceles, equilateral, right, acute, and obtuse.

Square, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, kite, and dart.

Yall there’s this goofy bird call I’ve been hearing for the longest time in my neighborhood but have been totally unable to spot a bird making it. We’re talking years! Just now, I saw the little bugger. A little googling (f-you ai, outta my way) confirms: Red Bellied Woodpecker.

Oh dang! “As someone who studies culture, I would say that consciousness is at least partly for separating metaphor from reality.”

I just had the opportunity to play Which One Doesn't Belong? with a group of fifth graders via remote technology, and it was by far the most delightful 40 minutes of my week. Deep gratitude for the opportunity and for these young people sharing their joy and hearts and minds with me. ❤️

Wondering what to say about this fab book but realise I said it on the back cover!

Today is a good day to pitch your local outlet something about the canvas hack. Put TIMELY in the subject line. Describe yourself as an educator in a few lines (two sentence!). Then make an argument.

Been beating this drum daily in my circles

To the authors of children's books, and the illustrators, the librarians, the booksellers, the editors, the marketers, the teachers, the reading specialists, the literacy professors, the tutors and the volunteers: I see you. What you do matters. Children's books matter. All of them.

Oh dang. Keb Mo at like 500+ @thecurrent.org ?!? 😬😬

Meanwhile my recently purchased Amtrak ticket is a QR code on a pdf attached to an email.

Have we come up for a word yet for when you find out after a text-based conversation that other person used ChatGPT to craft a response to you?

Happy May Day! I fucking love it here

Happy May Day! They didn’t think the Southside could make it and they wanted to break us down but they must not know us. We are still here and we aren’t going anywhere. ¡Adelante!
