With a funding cliff looming, it’s time for Congress to come together on a bipartisan basis to avert the collapse of the child care industry. New from @ehaspel. https://t.co/vPJXyOMygP

Early educators care for our families. They should be able to feed their own. https://t.co/jgrsLiFbcO #edutoot #edutooter

@googleedu Hey all. I’m an educator (see my profile) and also a Google Product Expert for Classroom and Meet.

Educators join the @googleedu group.

Seems #Introduction posts are a thing to do, so: Chicagoan. #Developer (#Python, #Perl). Had a #stroke, & fully recovered, but taking the risks of stroke from #LongCOVID deadly seriously. Still masking indoors.

Hobbies: #fountainpen (esp. vintage/repair); #cocktails; making #cider. Love #comics (non-supers, mostly) but haven't been reading much lately.

Music tastes best exemplified by: Minutemen, Sun Ra, Muddy Waters, Motörhead, Buck Owens, Aphex Twin.

Abe Vigoda is my tutelary deity.

Given all the conversations, I thought I'd share a book everyone should read - Cassandra Speaks. Here are a few quotes that hooked me, read the rest in the link:

"The stories that people have been absorbing for centuries...stories that tell false and destructive narratives about women and men, femininity and masculinity, and the nature and purpose of life.

Cassandra's story is that of every woman who has been dismissed, gaslighted, or punished for having an opinion of her own.

When the stories that have glued together a culture lose their potency, things begin to fall apart. But new things rise up."

Powerful stuff. It makes me want to learn more about #IndigenousPeoples and my own heritage. Inestimable loss. #Stories #History #Women #femininity #cosmology

This is an excellent article by Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) on the costs of moving from one social network to another: "When switching costs are high, services can be changed in ways that you dislike without losing your business. The higher the switching costs, the more a company can abuse you, because it knows that as bad as they’ve made things for you, you’d have to endure worse if you left." Full text at

Enjoyed this podcast so much, I am going to have to listen to it again. So much to think about and reflect upon. Well-balanced, thoughtful ... https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8yYjU0OTlkYy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw/episode/YzNiOTgyN2ItNWNjNi00OGQ3LWE1NzctNTdiMTczZjY5NGZh?ep=14

Somehow forgot to post a link last week to the interview I did with NPR's Morning Edition on TRACERS IN THE DARK. For a 7 minute conversation, we got pretty deep into the cryptocurrency tracing cat-and-mouse game: https://www.npr.org/2022/11/14/1136423394/tracers-in-the-dark-explores-the-growth-of-illicit-commerce-with-cryptocurrency

@edutooters Just because #curriculum is written for a whole group, teacher-led model doesn’t mean you have to use it that only way. #Teachers are architects of #learning experiences. They deserve the flexibility & freedom to make curriculum work for their #students using a range of models, especially those that put students in the position of asking and answering their own questions rather than the teacher. Anyone in #edleadership who doesn't understand that should find something else to do.

@mguhlin oh, and as far as the second question, I would like to know myself. I have noticed this behavior with the web version as well as Tusky and Fedilab.

Since it is preferred to use #CamelCase for #hashtags for screen reader/accessibility purposes, you would think that the hashtag suggestions would be provided in that format.

The case does not matter, however in a technical sense. Whether you use all upper case, all lower case, camel case, etc. the hashtags are all the same.

I was too busy at #NCTE22 to remember, but November 19th was the one-year anniversary of my #book!! A lot has happened in this year, but one of the best things that’s happened is the number of folks picking up the work and sharing it with others. I put my heart into that book, and I’ve heard that my heartwork is resonating with the hearts of others. I’m so glad that it’s a year old, and I can’t wait to see what’s next!
