Does anyone know if there will ever be a list of everyone who ran in the Barkley Marathons this year? I've seen two partial lists, but now that it's over, will they post all the names anywhere? #bm100

Email sent to FDA staff informs that agency leadership canceled the agency's LexisNexis subscription, even though staff need this tool to research legal and regulatory information as part of their jobs. I'm reproducing the text of the email here:

If you've never heard of the Barkley Marathons, do yourself a favor and look it up (there's a great documentary)! You're missing the world's weirdest and possibly most grueling endurance race. It's being live skeeted!! #BM100

Remembering Margot Zemach, American illustrator of over 40 books, some of which she also authored. She collaborated with her husband (Harve Zemach) winning the Caldecott Medal for his "Duffy and the Devil." #ChildrensBooks #kidlitart

SecDef Pete Hegseth has decided that the Navajo code talkers whose work was critical in WWII were all just DEI hires.

One thing we liked about T-Mobile was that they guaranteed our rate for life when we signed up. Now they've announced they're raising our rates. How is this possible? @t-mobile.bsky.social

The wonderful @dorothyzemach.bsky.social of Wayzgoose Press and author @sueleather.bsky.social have come together to write and publish 'The One'; a new #ELT reader. #LGBTQIA #EnglishLanguageTeaching #GradedReaders #EduSky #ELTSky iamnotataboo.com/books/the-one/

Did you know that every French parking lot is going to be covered with solar panels? That Indonesia said it will close down its coal plants? That Nest is building a giant 'virtual powerplant' in Texas There are things to be thankful for, even in Nov 2024 billmckibben.substack.com/p/tart-but-s...

Vegan Thanksgiving dinner. Not everyone makes a hummurkey.

If you are in Oklahoma or know others that are with school age children, please pass this along to them. Defense of Democracy created opt-out forms for Ryan Walter’s forced bible instruction. Let’s keep getting in good trouble! #EduSky #Resist kfor.com/news/oklahom...

I took the free OpenAI course for K-12 educators. I found it shifted the responsibility to educators to discover how to use these tools in their classrooms while offering frames that prevented the development of a critical thinking toolkit. mail.cyberneticforests.com/how-does-ope...

These are my literal neighbors. How lucky am I to live near people I can play music with?
