I'm not expert enough to contribute, but would love to see the slides, if they can be made available. I know there are challenges with that, being an instructor myself, because the slides don't contain the commentary. But I bet they are gonna be SUPER interesting!

I know one is is Iowa City, but that's about 4 hours drive away. Haven't heard of the others. If you find out, please do share--I think a lot of people want to join up.

I never dealt with this when I was editor of @openriversumn.bsky.social because I knew it would overwhelm me, but the current staff has dipped a toe in these waters. Let me know if you'd like me to re-introduce you (you wrote for us some years back).

She'll never forget the fun she's having right now, like my niece will never forget being in DC when Obama won in 2008. Such joyful madness.

Isn't that sadly too often the case: "You see it but you don't see it." And the stop is by a party spot--yuck. Thank you again for spotlighting this tragedy.

If I was still early enough in my career for people to ask me about career goals, I'd say "I want too do work like what Shannon Mattern does."

Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Vonnegut says it better, and you don't have the time or need to re-type it.
