It was quite chilly today but these crocuses are doing their best. I bet they'll be open tomorrow.

I took half an hour to hang out with the two cute cats that lived there. Noodled on my phone a bit and just relaxed. Then, when I felt recharged, I went back to the party.
This is the sort of behaviour I want to normalized at parties and events for introverts! It’s okay to take a break.

Taxes filed! I was afraid of them this year for several reasons. Made a deal with myself that I would wait to start painting my bedroom until after they were done. It worked!

Kilian really really needed to help me paint tonight. *Amy makes mental note to sand carefully at dog height before applying the next coat of primer. …also to build a better boundary before starting*

I’d love to reclaim the word amateur to mean pursuing something because you love it (from the Latin “to love”) rather than the modern “doing something unprofessionally or ineptly”.
You don’t have to be professional at something to enjoy it and not everything you enjoy you have to make money with.

Previously mentioned girlfriend helped me put this mural up on the wall in my cabin in the woods. Completing a project like this without feeling frustrated with each other takes a special kind of magic and we’ve got it 💞

HOLY SHIT SOME GOOD NEWS Come Together was nominated for an Audience!
Narrating my own audiobook is the only thing I ever ask for in my book contracts. I prize them not merely because I love listening to audiobooks, but because they make books accessible to more and different readers.

I made this little rat for my girlfriend. It was going to be gray but I was in the middle of listening to @tkingfisher.com ‘s paladin books so of course it came out white.

This is Rue. She had a panic attack after a fire alarm went off in her building. But despite being scared, she was still able to do one of the bravest things of all, and ask for help. 14/10

Unpopular suggestion from a former middle school teacher (me):
Instead of losing valuable class time and cognitive load to high-stakes, hand-written, in-class essay assessments, dedicate more time to exploring media and tech literacy skills in your field.

Teaching isn't my field so any comments from me should be taken with an enormous grain of salt, but I do expect that there will be an overhaul in how pedagogical assessment of mastery of knowledge is performed. Most likely to me: here's a pen and paper, you have two hours, I'm watching, get to work.
My son teaches college-level biology, and some of his students confessed to using AI to write papers. AI has gotten so good, my son can no longer tell the difference. This is frightening. Maybe AI creative writing hasn't caught up, but it's already there for term papers.
