Definitely an interesting and intentional phenomenon.

Thanks for the spotlight @wesleyanuniversity.bsky.social

Looks snakey to me!

Nerds unite (great minds!). Hegseth even sounds like a PT word.

This is absolutely correct. Discovering these gems alongside my 12 year old has been magical.

I believe this is a golden age of children's literature. There are books being published today that will shape the minds of generations; life-changing books whose readers will change the world. There really is a book for EVERYONE now - if we can just help every reader find those books!

Besides the SS reference, as a millennial nerd I immediately thought it was like parseltoungue and that he’s a stupid death eater.

To the employees at JFK that I encountered this morning, I wish you warm socks, 8 hours of sleep a night, and a winning lottery ticket.

Just looked at this in a session!

I recently published a paper with an elementary teacher about supporting young kids in their understanding of digital concepts off screen. ila.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

We talked about it on this local pod:

I’m at #NCTE2025 and it feels like home! Come see me at 3:15 in Room 710/12

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

Super exciting paper showing that high schools vary in their impacts on civic engagement. Schools that are better at improving academic outcomes are also better at creating voters.

Kirsten was a @wheelockpolicybu.bsky.social postdoc when she began this work, so it's thrilling to see the result.

Ms. Nelson is Missing! Plot twist got me every time.

What a book you remember being read to you? That book you could not wait until the next day to hear more?

More than sufficient, especially when you are actively fighting them into a car seat daily. ♥️

I’m sorry, but I will never ever ever call the Tappan Zee bridge anything other than the Tappan Zee bridge. Every time I see a Mario C*omo sign I want to scream and it’s been so many years.

Tweet from Republican Rep. Don Bacon, saying "Exciting news to announce! All frozen education funding for the upcoming school year have been released, following my letter to the OMB! It helps centers like KidsCanOmaha and our schools!"

"Exciting news to announce! The robbers I let into the house have agreed to give back the money they stole!"

Coming up empty?! That is a fully grown dinosaur, and I’d like to see the lizard hunter’s credentials.

People can have differing politics. You can oppose immigration, have views on limited taxes, be tough on crime, support an Israeli state - you can believe all of these things, but you also MUST have empathy and realize that your political views are not an excuse for intolerable cruelty.

Good news Wednesday! I have never submitted to #LRA, but I did this year, I was accepted to present my paper- “Navigating Digital Realities: Understanding Young People's Engagement with Social Media for News, Political Information, and Identity Formation” 🎉

Where Congress’s Cuts Threaten Access to PBS and NPR The loss of federal funding threatens scores of public TV and radio stations across the United States.

The problem, of course, isn’t that NPR has a liberal bias, it’s that facts have a liberal bias and today’s GOP is almost unanimous in its opposition to facts.

She had me a prostitution wh*re- I’m not proud of myself, but I have to be true

Roosevelt understood that boredom, frustration, and social isolation could easily turn people (and especially young men*) toward violence, hate, and conspiracies.

Vicki, Tamra, and Ramona are three housewives that just make me rage. However, I hate myself because I am also a Teresa apologist.

YESSSSS!!! let me live!

Sooo bad. Tech developers are basically like, what will annoy the people the most, let’s create it! 🫠

Oh Clippy, I want to say I miss you, but you were kind of annoying and jumpy and my brain can’t take that kind of writing distraction.

This made me smile! Congrats Elizabeth! ♥️
