I wonder how many educators are on here.
There were thriving communities of educators on Tumblr and Twitter, but Tumblr's went to heck after moderated hashtags went away and Twitter is ... Twitter.
The fediverse has Scholar.social, but that's more of an instance for college/university level academics. I'd like to connect with other K-12 educators.
wife's death & health issues, details for a pinned toot because it comes up often enough.
Kelli was diagnosed with FSGS when she was in 3rd grade. It's a rare disease that basically makes your kidneys fall apart. Most/all of her other issues stem from that.
When I met her, she was on the tail end of her 2nd transplant. She lost it before we were married. She was nervous on our wedding day because she had to come from dialysis to the church and didn't want to get blood on her dress. (continued..)
Okay. I'm spending a few hundred on indie games today, as a treat for myself and to support some devs.
Show me your favorite weird or obscure or barely functional or just real fun games on Itch.io.
I will only be buying from itch. The game has to have a linux build, I don't like (but will at least consider) FPSs.
This will be a thread where I post #indiegames that I might purchase.
Part 3 of 3 of out of context quotes from one of our recent #DnD games: https://youtube.com/shorts/irnQ0paBRUc
Good morning, friends.
I am not ready to be social in person, but today a work activity requires me to be social in person, in an environment that will certainly be louder than volumes I consider to be comfortable.
I am looking forward to seeing people I've missed over the summer.
I am looking forward to planning this school year.
I am looking forward to having lunch provided free of charge.
I am not looking forward to everything else related to this event.
My first /official/ day back is next week, but I agreed to attend a "leadership retreat" with school admin and other department chairs tomorrow.
It's off-site, which the more extroverted staff will see as a high point.
I look forward to the portions of the retreat that do not involve participating in location themed activities.
Part 2 (of 3) of a recent #DnD session's OOC quotes: https://youtube.com/shorts/qec6GnBGLAo
I took some of the OOC quotes from one of our D&D sessions and turned them into a YouTube short.

If you follow the #DnD tag you've already seen these, but sometimes it's nice to hear which words are being emphasized.

I'm not even looking for stuff like this, but the articles have broad enough key words to have them get mixed in with topics about digital media.
You know, the subject I teach.
►He/Him
►Teacher (K-8, Media Arts & Technology)
►Trans rights are human rights.
►Black Lives Matter.
►I DM a #DnD #Podcast (several, in fact...) and geek out about games over on @Crash
►My friends are all far more interesting than me, and I'm OK with that.
► #PineBookPro and #RaspberryPi owner. I know just enough to break things.
►I like hexagons, just not Twitter's hexagons.
