I highly recommend taking a “reading crawl!” My husband and I enjoyed pages and sips around downtown Geneva, Illinois a few weeks ago. We got to support local businesses, try new drinks, enjoy the sunshine, and move our bookmarks a bit further back in our current reads #TlSky #EduSky

Teaching my cat to ride a skateboard is going about as well as you’d imagine. (It’s better with sound!) #catsofbluesky #cat #cats

Yeah, that grading is going to have to wait … it IS Spring Break, after all.

The only update you’ll need about how the new kitty is adjusting 😻

I’m about halfway through and am really liking this one! #BookSky. I’ve already identified a few passages I’d love for my #medialit class to read and discuss. CC: @jasonkpargin.bsky.social

We have a new family member! He still needs a name that is as equally distinguished as his big brother, Seymour Butts 🤪 Hilarious suggestions welcome!

Proposals are due March 1st! Will I see you in St Louis?? #TlChat #TlSky www.ala.org/news/2024/10...

Seymour is VERY interested in these student book talks!

I freaking LOVE this headline and my brain is cooking on some #medialit lessons comparing it to others where women have historically been described as their “man’s partner” as opposed to fully autonomous superstars in their own right. #TlChat #MediaLiteracy #framing #DiscourseAnalysis

If you’re feeling blah, I highly recommend snuggling kittens ❤️

Seymour says: it’s okay to take a break from your #doomscrolling. Tonight I plan to put my phone out of reach and finish reading @mrschureads.bsky.social’s Louder Than Hunger.

They showed their badges, yes. The badges said “Department of Homeland Security.” The ‘source’ that was there made a mistake in assuming that meant ICE. Please stop fanning flames. There is enough fear already without propaganda. You can still be upset and vigilant w/o false claims. #medialit #TlSky

Today I delivered "TEACHING MEDIA LITERACY IN A FAKE NEWS WORLD" and the end of seminar reviews were pretty great 🥰 . I'd LOVE for you to join me for this online seminar sometime this spring. Dates include: 1/23, 3/6, 3/11, 4/17, and 4/22. Can't make it live? There are recorded options too!

This is Seymour. He is the most media literate cat there is because he’s listened to me deliver “Media Literacy in a Fake News World” three times this month! Be like Seymour. Be #medialiterate. Join me online this spring: www.ber.org/seminars/cou... 🗺️ 📖 🍎 #TlSky
