A year ago my brother burned our relationship to the ground because his love for Trump was greater than his love for me. I shared my story here then, and the support I received from strangers was incredible. Just a reminder for those who need it and happen to see this: Family is who you choose.

It’s 111° degrees here, and even indoors, it’s hot, but as I take a #minifig painting class for charity at a local tattoo shop, I’m wearing one of my fav shirts from Penzey’s Spices and some new #taco earrings I picked up this summer. It’s always a good day to #resist.

The heat index says "stay inside"—we say, "great, it’s proposal-writing season." 😎 #IDEAcon 2026 is looking for voices like yours to empower and engage educators from Feb 9–11 in Schaumburg. Deadline: Aug 4. Make this your coolest move of the summer. ideail.org/IDEAcon26CFP

My students took time to write a quick note to a teacher of their choice for #TeacherAppreciation. A few of them wrote one to me. 🥹 This picture of me that includes my outfit from today for #BowTieTuesday including my Jordans is everything. #IDEAil #EduSky

“If your concern is cheating, well, that’s not AI, that’s academic integrity.” I appreciate how @katiejmcnamara.bsky.social approached the idea of pausing on AI policies to make sure you understand what you’re trying to accomplish with the policy.

This administration’s changes are the antithesis of the conversations educators are having with each other and with students about AI.
“The Trump administration has removed safety, fairness, misinformation, and responsibility as things it values for AI, which I think speaks for itself,”

Seems like a silly thing, but the #SneakerHead in me just loves picking out shoes for each day of #IDEAcon. Last year was Adidas; this year was Nike (because you can’t win, so win), 2 in #IDEAil colors and 1 to match my #BowTieTuesday gear on day 2. Can’t wait for next year! @dhasty01.bsky.social

The world is hard right now, and I’m sincerely looking forward to 3 days spent creating, innovating, and connecting with educators at #IDEAcon where my world will feel a little brighter and full of love and laughter. Can’t wait to see everyone in Schaumburg in 10 days!

Made a friend while at AMLE conference in November. He’s an administrator who makes custom bow ties. He was wearing one of his own creations when I met him, and I told him I’ve done #BowTieTuesday for years. Today this came in the mail. Sometimes people remind you of the good. #EduSky

The first week of break saw me trying to recover from the exhaustion of being sick the week before. But tonight we get to host a murder mystery event for customers who hired us to write and facilitate the event. It’s been so much fun! #BoardGaming #BoardGamers #Gamers #EduSky

This week my 5th graders’ germs got me good, but the end of the week is here, and I officially made it to break. And store customers hired us to create a murder mystery dinner experience for them, so character cards have been created and roles passed out. Excited to host it next week!

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh
