merry christmas to me, a steward of a new @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social !

i am starting the next semester in all my classes with a few slides on my beliefs about learning. it will serve as a disclaimer for the types of classes i teach. if you are hoping for a "banking model" class where i simply talk at you, you sit quietly, then churn out AI papers - try again.

i submitted my book manuscript to my publisher yesterday! i seem to have forgotten how it's a bit of a scramble at the end to get everything in order EVEN if it's "done" - treated myself to lunch out!

A public school in BK where 84% of students receive free/reduced lunch is fundraising for their enrichment - a school musical and afterschool programming. Would you be able to help out? Any amount is truly appreciated. www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/... (Please put "Giving Tuesday" in the note!)

early voting in costume is becoming a family tradition. jellyfish for zohran.

i watched a doc about those guys that listen to police scanners & chase leads to record video & sell to news stations (e.g., freeway car accidents). i remember they said firefighters welcomed them (please record what we do!) and cops were always rude and pushing them away. very telling.

Send @nycplan.org's letter to your councilmember demanding that city council fund libraries with at least 0.5% of the city budget. This is one of the critical times to push for this as they prepare for the budget cycle! actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

“hmmm, I’m not sure I’ll have the bandwidth to run that program again this year” … one week later… “so I think I’d like to run it at triple size with a larger audience and budget” why am I like this??

Sliwa has been relentlessly funny in this debate!

today @nycplan.org had their 2nd people’s assembly for libraries at @ethicalnyc.bsky.social and it was SO good. so grateful I get to work on something so energizing with fellow volunteers.

My sweet baby angel 8 year old: Mom, when I’m a teenager can we go to the club together? Me, who hasn’t been to “the club” in 10+ years: ….. yes…..?
