Editor: “But what is this headline supposed to MEAN? You make it sound like young people hitting the bottle is an inevitability that can only be held off so long as they become more and more aware of the state of the adult world…” *trails off* Writer: “I totally agree. Headline gold. Whiskey?”🥃

Tonight I celebrated with something to be very thankful for: a new episode of #LowerDecks. Purple Data’s head in a bag bless us, every one. #startrek #trekker #cerritos

Hey #authorsky and #booksky, a question for your collective expertise: if you had to boil down the process of publishing a book into steps or phases, how would you do it? I can think of at least 5 phases of developing and publishing a book. Is there more? What about self-publishing? Please share!

To be very clear, as a teacher I don't want "time-saving AI tools." I want time.

Friends, if you’ve never had the joy of reading Ray Bradbury’s glorious story “Usher II,” allow me to recommend it particularly at this time. #booksky #edusky The catharsis of going full Poe on people who ban books cannot be overstated. mrjacobsenglishclasses.weebly.com/uploads/5/7/...

Is it bad that my first thought was “Which one?”

Oh, cool, looks like the scientific community just got the news about the latest election!

Definitely my favorite moment of #wicked was when hubs leaned over 30 minutes and hissed, “okay, you weren’t kidding, this IS awesome” 😎

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

Name a show you’re positive no one remembers but you: Eureeka’s Castle

I missed you all so much. And most of you will never interact with me; I’m nowhere near important enough for @roywoodjr.bsky.social or @markhamillofficial.bsky.social or even @pixelatedboat.bsky.social to ever acknowledge, and that’s okay — but it’s so nice to hear my friends’ voices again! #bluesky

#edusky, I have a question. How do you feel about rubrics that do not go up to 100? Several teachers I know do this. They say they do so because they want kids to strive for that extra ineffable ‘something.’ I have my own thoughts on this but I would love to hear your professional opinions.

this is literally the future republicans want: public funds for segregation academies and religious private schools that actively discriminate against LGBT students or students with special needs

I get concern about trolls coming to #bluesky, but can’t we reach across the aisle? Find common ground? I’ll go first. Trolls from X, you are luckily met. I was silly enough to pay full price for what purports to be Amontillado without consulting you. If you will walk with me just a bit further —

A win today! Admin knows my stance on testing, but still, was pleased to have a convo where I advocated for ditching STAAR warmups that just teach kids to try not to get tricked by a test, and won support for creating more authentic exercises that still generate that almighty data. Huzzah! 🙌🏼 #edusky

Perhaps it’s my old school UIL training but I find myself constantly appalled at the state of headline writing these days. Leaguetown High School would NEVER stand for this. #journalism #authorsky #writersky #writing #uil #edusky

As a teacher, now, when they ask when to come observe, I find I truly could not care less. My class is my class, and the level of professionalism you see will be the same no matter when you come. No performative lessons. You’ve got 30 openings in a week. Surprise me. Go wild. Just me? #edusky
