Ok. Took the leap and joined Mastadon. Not sure how to use it yet, but I think I'm AnnMariePT there :)

Ugh. I really loved this platform and this community, and don't know quite where I'll find it elsewhere. That said, I can't feel good about using Twitter knowing what's happening at the company so am trying to completely leave. I miss you guys.

Music/Maker education friends: this year the @MakerFestival will have a special "building" (online) of music education projects! We would love to have you submit your work (and @PlayLearnLab can assist you on putting together your materials). Reach out with qeustions!

The @PlayLearnLab team is so looking forward to this. 4 of our undergraduate researchers will be travelling to attend.

Thinking of Senator Fetterman & the courage it takes to seek mental health treatment when you need it. It ain't easy, and because of stigma & vitriol in politics, he'll get enormous blowback, but he's a role model for the millions of Americans who struggle with depression. ❤️

I've donated one of the VERY rare Easton Press leather edition of CORALINE for The Books for Syria & Turkiye auction by @BooksTurkSyr. I'll sign and personalise it to the winner. All funds are for earthquake relief efforts. Bid here: https://t.co/bjlvgAvpYY #books4turkiyesyria

I'm so excited to be partnered with @mgmstudios - producers of The Voice - to bring the next big talent show for ASL interpreters and performers to your screen. If you loved what you saw with Rhianna's ASL performer at the Super Bowl - just you wait! #ASL

Fifteen years ago, a gunman at Northern Illinois University killed six and wounded 21. Five years ago, a gunman at a Parkland high school killed 17 and wounded 17. Now a mass shooting at Michigan State University. This can’t continue. 📷 Bill Pugliano, Getty; Al Goldis, AP

What a powerful piece on depression and friendship by David Brooks. This is worth the time to read and reflect on.

In Opinion "If I’m ever in a similar situation again, I’ll know that you don’t have to try to coax somebody out of depression," writes David Brooks. "It’s enough to show that you are trying to understand what this troubled soul is enduring."

The amazing @ad_astra2 gave a keynote for #KNC2023 this year about the opportunities of space. I was so grateful to her for agreeing to speak to our @KEENunleashed community!

In the last 25 years, wages for college graduates have risen 28%. Wages for teachers during the same period, only 2%. We’re calling on states and districts to increase teacher pay. It’s time our teachers saw the support and pay they deserve. Livable wage = Respect.

Erika Wagner, Bobby Kasthuri & Austin Ramirez are this year's keynote speakers. They are incredible individuals who exemplify the power of connections; we are honored to have them join us at #KNC2023. https://t.co/b0yVyf10FI

I don’t how I missed this thread, but here I am, sharing it five years later, because it’s one of the most important messages in the universe. Yes, ask. Yes, help. And sometimes, do not wait to be asked. Just help. (If you don’t know what to do? The dishes. Always.)

Excited to receive this new book from ⁦@CarolynPurnell⁩ !

Are you a K-12 educator who works with Deaf and HoH students? Are you interested in learning about coding using @scratch ? This spring the @PlayLearnLab will be offering an asynchronous 8 week class. And we will have stipends for participants! Interested? Email/DM me!

Am going into my 3rd hour sitting at a car repair dealership and continue to be amazed by the conversations (work) that people have in public places. Business folks (men) around me, having serious loud conversations that... maybe should be in closed door rooms?
