It's not scary that my school's social media links still includes Google+. What's scary is that Google+ shuttered six years ago. #google #google+ #legacysocialmedia

Returned to Langlade County and the newly minted Antigo Heights segment of the Ice Age Trail. Taking pics for an upcoming article. Here's the dispersed campsite we cleared.

Orem, Utah sounds like a dangerous place. Better call in the National Guard.

Will be interesting to see the effects on incoming students this year.
Excited to present this great essay by Ashanty Rosario, a talented young journalist who attends Newtown High School in Queens, about how she's experienced the arrival of AI in the classroom.

"These programs have destroyed much of what tied us together as students."

Stoked that our OER has been accepted into the Open Ed Network collection. After test driving in our first-yeat biz writing course - and substantial 😏 copyediting by Kephren Pritchett - it's ready to share! #fyc

Thank to @openednetwork.bsky.social for including us!

Art along the Beerline Trail, a rail-to-trail project that's been nearly 20 years in the making. Each year, more murals, sculptures, and structures appear - each celebrating the community and the modes of transportation that have informed the path. #rw24 #riverwest #milwaukee #biking #railtotrail

Nessun Dorma may not be a secret gem any longer but the menu still brings the heat. Mixed olives, bruschetta, and artichoke dip. Sarah reminded me that this place was where we went when we left the boys home alone for the first time.

It's been too long since we've taken a day to enjoy Sturgeon Bay. After weeding the community garden plot, ran the Ice Age Trail. Afternoon cherry picking (first time) was a blast; heading back with the Nikon soon. Capped with a couple hours at the beach. #dcwi #doorcounty #wisconsin #iceagetrail

Heartbreaking to come back from a peaceful protest to find that Minnesota lawmakers were victims of rightwing violence. #nokings #defenddemocracy

Following a Gays Against Groomers antagonist at the #nokings rally in #doorcounty. Guy came at me on cam (he didn't like my "Protect Trans Kids" shirt) and didn't want to continue the conversation. #protecttranskids

Watching the @inaturalist.bsky.social user group (which connects over digital networks) grouse (on a social media platform) over the idea that big tech will corrupt their platform.
There's a lot to critique about GAI and LLM devs being fascist bedfellows but ML can complement human crowd sourcing

Trailbuilding in Langlade County with the Ice Age Trail Alliance. Learned a great deal about the process, was introduced to some tools and terms, as well as some good people. #iceagetrail #trailbuilding #wisconsin #wisconsinstateparks #widnr #nps

There's a healthcare crisis in Wisconsin with nurses on the front lines. Give Meriter nurses the support, staffing, and safety they need and deserve.

Grades are in, getting an early start to the weekend camping in Potawatomi. Rained all night but no mud this morning. Covered some wood before the rain started, foresight rewarded with morning fire. #widnr #dcwi #doorcounty #wisconsin

Was beginning to worry I'd miss the trilliums but Potawatomi always provides. #widnr #wistateparks #dcwi #doorcounty #wisconsin #trailrunning

Question for college-level creative writing instructors: does your program require a non-credit portfolio review that takes place before a student graduates? #creativewriting #academicsky
