We released a special short episode today to celebrate Derek Craven Day! If it leaves you wanting more, we've got four more episodes that range from (relatively) serious to (extremely) silly. You can find them and all sorts of DCD stuff at fatedmates.net/dcd.

The coffee jokes are funny admittedly and there really isn’t much we can do aside from brace for impact, but a lot of medication and health equipment is made outside the US. We import a LOT of very common drugs. Things like band-aids are made outside the US. We are in very, very real danger here.

Of the SciShow postcard promo I’ve done…here are the most effective: Vlogbrothers>Hankschannel>Bluesky>SciShow>Threads>Twitter. Bluesky, if you want to move up the list, and help quality, popular science videos reach more people who need them, it’s not too late! complexly.store/collections/...

We have an e-learning day due to cold weather, so I’m starting with coffee and poetry. Mary Oliver never disappoints.

I teach what is, essentially, an #edtech #medialt methods course for librarians. Some of my playlists contain content related to #booktok & #librarytok. Looks like I’ll be spending much of today/tomorrow updating. If you’re doing the same and find good resources, pls share! #highered #tlsky #edusky

We are not obsessed, we are grieving. If you care about science, you should care about the TikTok ban. Not only this ⬇️ (and read the rest of the thread, Sarah nails it), but I saw science being made more diverse bc of the supportive communities on TikTok

Day 21: 31 Days, 31 Lists - 2024 Science Fiction Books for Kids. Today, I celebrate what little science fiction there is. The bulk of it this year seemed to come in the form of picture books. What do we make of that? Not sure, but it's kinda cool. #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2024/12/21/3...

On the other side of #NCTE24 and thinking hard on what we need next. Proposals due in January but our work will shape/be shaped by so much by November 2025. What do we most need to learn, discover and share in that window that we can imagine (and DREAM) now?

What are you all reading? I’ve got (in order) one for school to recommend to students, one for me, one audio for my walks, and rereading my most recently published for reference as I write book nine. How about you?
