Thoughts on this design? Planning for a #science teachers conference. Also, bonus points if you know what the white lines are.
In a black background there are white swirls and lines (these are subatomic particle paths in a bubble chamber) on top of the lines a large bold font says SCIENCE MATTERS with the WSTA logo in the bottom right corner

Happy Friday! I absolutely had to bring this chicken home with me. Found her at my local Goodwill where I do a weekly look for clothes for my toddler. #ShopSecondHand #WhoNeedsTarget

Said a peaceful goodbye to my dear Flint this evening. He was a beautiful soul and we were lucky to be his family. Thanks for 11 lovely years, Flinty.

On pause until 2025. Doing a major screen detox… contemplating rest, capitalism, decolonization, and nature. See you all soon!

Please enjoy my #cat, Howie, snuggling in my old wooden sled this holiday season. It is officially his.

Do I reread the entire #StormlightArchive or do I just go for it? Where are my #BlueSky #Cosmere folks? #WayOfKings #WindAndTruth

I’ve been struggling with the climate, artistic, and life impacts of AI. #AI
A poem posted on Instagram by @joseph. fasano FOR A STUDENT WHO USED AI TO WRITE A PAPER Now I let it fall back in the grasses. Thear you. I know this life is hard now. I know your days are precious on this earth. But what are you trying to be free of? The living? The miraculous task of it? Love is for the ones who love the work.

Goodnight, Bluesky! I’m taking care of myself and my sweet little family this weekend so I’m signing off until Monday. Just a little pic from my drive home last night. Hope everyone fills themselves up. 💕

Spent the afternoon reflecting at the National WWII Museum. Read this as I entered. It’s almost like we’ve been here before…
World leaders gathered in Paris in 1919 to negotiate the treaties to end World War I. Bringing peace to a shattered world proved difficult, however. While President Wilson had envisioned a "peace without victors and vanquished" based on "national self-determination," the Treaty of Versailles also had a punitive side, stripping Germany of land, disarming the country, and imposing large reparation payments. All over Europe, democratic governments came under attack by radical movements promising solutions to crippling political and economic crises. Revolutionary upheavals inspired by communist Russia further threatened the fragile peace, as did Japan's increasingly aggressive behavior in Asia.

Hey #EduSky! I’m hanging with the @abeslo.bsky.social doing good work in 5D assessment as we work to make educative coherent systems of science education happen! #Science #NGSS #OpenSciEd What do you think makes a great science assessment?

Kicking off Washington State’s inaugural Climate Education Summit was a dream come true! Pushing to galvanize teachers in our state across all content areas to enable students to engage with climate work, it was an amazing weekend!

Yikes, tried to share my BlueSky invites on the bird app hoping my actual friends would take me up on it and here’s my inbox after 30 seconds after posting that I would only give them to people I know… 🤦‍♀️

Hope y’all had a great St. Patrick’s Day! A little green beer and good food goes a long way to shake off the winter blues.
