Enjoyed the PD session by @kshelton.bsky.social at OCM. #inspired (& yay for our grunge song track!)
It’s St. Patrick’s Day. Please don’t drink & drive tonight. (.. or any night.) Call a friend, hail a taxi, use an app for a uber/lyft ride. Just do not get behind the wheel yourself. Forever grateful I’m still here to be able to ask this of you. Car Accident Survivor 3-17-04, 11:15ish PM

Hey Governor Hochul, The reason I can make something hot (to eat/drink) right now in my house is because I have a gas stove and can start it with a lighter. Get rid of the upcoming ban. #PowersOut #ItsVeryColdOutside #WinterWeatherAdvisory #LakeEffectWarning
Sorry for missing #edtechchat last night… Hope there was some good discussion.
Took amazing sessions at #OETC25 and can’t wait to share with my colleagues back here in NY! I very much hope folks enjoyed attending the Looker Studio and Primary Blogging sessions as well. Thank you @oetc.bsky.social for a wonderful conference - Thanks for the hospitality 😃
It’s nice to sleep in one’s own bed… made it home last night from OETC.
Diverted to Jamestown with the whiteout on I90 last night. Will eventually get home…. We have more weather coming today & tomorrow, so tricky it will be.
Oh.. BTW #OETC25– My sessions were playing songs before starting by Pesky J. Nixon. (A few of my old high school friends 😃) Hope you enjoy! open.spotify.com/artist/7naOa...

A powerful and incisive defence of science, research, human rights, and our profession of medical journal editors from @bmj.com leadership. 🔥 And a great example of how health & medical institutions must take a stand against authoritarianism.
