Floating the idea of a Middle Earth TTRPG campaign where you work at the Prancing Pony and your boss has sent you to collect seven dollars from the Black Rider who did seven dollars worth of damage while roughly looking for the Fellowship.

Do I know any Indigenous folks who make maps? Got a request for a paid design/cartography job and it'd be rad if I could connect you with them.

I teach a high school engineering course that is project-based, but I struggle so much with grading #PBL style classes. Does anyone have suggestions or articles they suggest reading? How do you balance process vs final product in grading? #SBG #grading #assessments

Dear Physicists and Physics fans,
I would like to encourage you to celebrate #WomenInPhysics Day this Friday, November 7th.
Why November 7th? Because it is the birthday of two of the most impactful women physicists of the 1900's: Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. 🎢 ⚛️ 🧪 👩🔬

When you’re 30 minutes into a Zumba class, and the new tune is Dance Again by Jennifer Lopez. The last thing I’m going to answering in the affirmative to is the question “ARE YOU FEELING SEXY???”.
No. No I am not. I’m absolutely cream crackered is what I am.

Proud of the PSF for being true to their values. I wish more would do this. And if anyone has $1.5 million kicking around, I know a group that could benefit from it.
TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-...

Hey institutions that host professional development, podcasts, ed news, ed conferences, etc:
Educators are desperate to hear from other educators about what’s working in their classrooms TODAY. Find the practicing educators and give them resources to teach other educators.

Not many visitors to the map center today. Didn't make much money.
But I did get to watch a mother and daughter pore over Anton Thomas's 'Wild World' map together for like an hour. The complete delight of a child being excited about learning is such a gift.
