An unfortunate part of the over-personalization/AI-fication of tech is that we lost the randomness that comes from listening to whatever was on the radio. #Spotify does 'made for you' which is so boring: great! you mined songs I already know to suggest a playlist that leaves nothing to chance?

A few weeks ago, I was interviewed by a student in our teacher ed program. Here are snippets of that conversation: pittnews.com/article/2002...

We are more than halfway to unlocking a gift (from me!), if we get to 10 donors, I will add $150 to the funds. Please consider a gift today. Thanks to all the lovely friends of our space who have given to date.
As part of Pitt's Annual Day of Giving, I am asking you to consider a gift to Imagination PLAYce, a community classroom I founded that facilitates playful learning for higher education students and faculty. Your gift can continue to center play in higher ed!

Thrilled to share new article in Critical Social Educator - a true labor of love because it features my sons! I examine the critical literacies young children enact through play within their digitally mediated worlds through everyday moments. Please read and share. (Open access).

Thank you! I just tried your suggestion but it throws an error and then refreshes to the original 'accept' button! so frustrating. Which is clear that they know people will want to delete their memberships.
Not sure if others are experiencing this but when I went in to try and delete my account, they require you to 'accept' the terms and conditions and I can't get to my account. I've emailed them but haven't heard back.
Our second substack blog is live! I look at children's biographies as windows into others' worlds, & the way human stories inspired my sons and I, and hopefully you too! Shout out to @carnegielibrary.bsky.social for their collection of biographies. imaginationplayce.substack.com/p/picture-bo...
Health workers and aid groups fear hunger that has been building in Gaza for months under Israel's blockade is now reaching a tipping point into accelerating death.
Just donated…please consider doing the same.

Wahoooo! Thank you for letting me know! ❤️
@aeraedresearch.bsky.social Any chance there will be a slight deadline extension this year? Asking for a friend (me!).
And I appreciated how much the first grade wiggles were simply part and parcel of the day…. Expertly navigated around with routines and rhythms that are practiced this late in the year.
Spent morning observing 1st grade class- joy & movement on the playground, the excitement & play during choice, the earnest responses to the teacher’s questions & provocations; singing along in Spanish… & music, song, gentle words to move the day along. As I left - they were crafting stories. ❤️
I miss the taxi line at JFK ( the whistle!), browsing for dresses at a department store, paper menus, little hardware shops where the owner scales a ladder to find you mosquito coils…
Yeeeeep!
it may be the only way 🤔😂
you think we should write her a group letter? 😬
Remarkable from WaPo poll: Trump sinking fast on immigration among independents.
56% disapprove of handling of issue
62% oppose removing foreign students
52% oppose renditions to El Salvador
Only 21% want Abrego Garcia left there
Engage, Dems.
