Random thought for the day after looking at my newsfeed sigh... (from tech bro titans to our kakistocracy clown cars at every single level of governance) 😢

“We the people” (especially youth) are asking what we can do as individuals to halt the massive grift and dismantling of our nation, given we are battling grenades with butter knives in this fight for freedom. Pls. share productive action steps and recommendations?! Anyone?

Noticing patterns in my keyboard strikes and relating it to patterns in everyday life, from politics to media and education. How can we best shift our lens and our actions to make change? As a nation, and as a planet we keep seeing the same mistakes being made, and then act surprised. Thoughts?

New Year’s Eve vibe for 2025… feeling more “survive vs thrive” and need to change that mindset of dread ahead… positivity tips? Anyone?

Sometimes the simplest #HolidayGifts are the most fun. This season stealth Santa hung dog park decor w/all the #dogs named anonymously...for weeks folks in the community would share who was missing and voila, the name would appear. Now adding homemade treats for 'yappy hour' this weekend. 🐾 😂

Swiping my daughter's clever packaging ideas for a 'book bouquet' among her gal pals...Will say, social media gives her all kinds of creative concepts floating around the ether...I'll be doing a media literacy #edu version for some colleagues! 📚 #BookSky #EduSky #Skybrarian #SM #HolidayGifts

I'm observing my strike patterns on my keyboard covers noting the similarities from year to year w/what's most useful, tried and true. Yet when it comes to #science, economics, political history and ESPECIALLY #publichealth it feels like some are hellbent on pounding out the same mistakes. #dataviz👇

Rainy SF Bay Area night, sipping Good Earth sweet and spicy and it feels like even my tea has a lot to say...somehow this hits about right. 😆☔

Thx, I just didn't know if you were looking for larger entities vs smaller focus...as my DigitalDogsBook.com series is embedding media literacy into storytelling, so it's a bit 'alternative' in terms of ways to get the content into their brains! (applied science, it works!) x.com/ShapingYouth...

My daughter just now, “Wow! There’s even a word for it? OMG!” Yep, yep there is… 😥 #youth #edu

Forwarding a prior post of my book series to see how it shows up visually. Working on Book 2 & 3 right now, with my illustrator pal dodging drones in Kyiv. sigh. x.com/ShapingYouth... #medialiteracy #edu #kidlit
