@ichistorian.bsky.social and myself are super proud to be the first chapter featured in this new book. Let's bring more TTRPGs to the classroom!

The cover of the book education and analog role-playing games teach RPG tabletop role-playing games in the classroom Volume 2, edited by Susan Haarman

The table of contents for the same book chapter 1 is called educational RPGs and practitioner's guide to bringing gaming into the classroom by Jennifer Genova and yours truly

My hatred of invertebrate skeleton decor is infinite and intense

A plastic skeleton of a cockroach. But it has ribs, folks. It's a vertebrate cockroach 🤬

The patriarchy in action! Men can wipe THEIR makeup off with any towel but women have to use a specific cloth ?!?!?! #unfair 😂

The sign says ladies. This dark colored cloth is provided for removal of your makeup. Thank you

This The Teacher's Pets bulletin board of teachers and their pets turned out super cute and had the side effect of helping students identify staff....who knew the custodian had a tarantula?

A green and yellow bulletin board that has red letters that say the teacher's pets of GBS on it, there are many pictures of teachers and their pets doing selfies together with labels about each pet

This is the same picture, but from further away

A collection of creepy dolls at the Woodman museum in Dover, NH

Her face is stitched and embroidered, and her little bonnet is red.

This one has a lace cap, big unblinking blue eyes and face like putty

The blond hair is part of the porcelain, but it's the big dark brown or black roses that stare into your soul

Blondish hair, pinkish clothes, a red mouth and four sharp looking teeth

Dunno, mollusks who can make holes in rocks don't seem boring to me....

I saw a funnel cloud/baby tornado and a rainbow within 2 minutes of each other today. In a separate incident I saw pea-sized hail! Most of the day was calm and in the mid-60s though #NHWeatherisweird

My anger for Halloween skeleton decor of invertebrate animals is as incandescent as it is specific.

I did not appreciate the sheer joy my turtles would get from basking in their own personal basking lamps. Bradley is so happy. The person we got him from did not know he needed a place to get out of the water or a basking lamp. He's been swimming for 5 years with no rest. 🫩. No longer! #petturtle

I try to sort of have Karen energy but the positive version where I leave excellent reviews and email companies to tell them how great members of staff have been.

Rhododendron State Park is very cool! 16+ acres of wild rhododendron that bloom in mid-July in southern NH. Actually made it this year!

A wild rhododendron blossom in a forest. It is a bunch of white flowers with 5 petals each on a tree with large dark green leaves

This bloom is not open and looks sort of like a pink pine cone

Culliope and Mr. Culliope (the most beautiful blossom of all)

Summer craft project in full swing. I'm finally trying to use up some of my scrap fabrics by making my twin baby cousins each a crazy quilt/I spy quilt. Here's what I've got so far, complete with two helper boys

An orange cat and an orange and white cat investigate the top of a crazy quilts that is lying on the floor

The front of a crazy quilt that is a work in process. There are four squares across by seven squares down. Each square is a collage of different fabrics.

We’re 200% funded overnight! Thanks to everyone who has pledged or shared the project across socials and with friends. We’re pushing for the teaching pack today. The funding will allow @culliope.bsky.social and @ichistorian.bsky.social to finish their brilliant project to the highest standard.

@storysquadcast.bsky.social Windy and I thought you might enjoy seeing them in their side hustle as the mascot for an RPG based special ed summer school program in NH. They keep an eye on the kids and give lots of hugs and some encouragement magic when learning is hard!

Today Ignatia was strong enough to climb up on this red slate by herself! She likes to chill and listen to music with me. She seems to know my voice.

This is Ignatia t. Bellows, A red-eared slider that we rescued. She has no front claws because they were eaten by a raccoon about 15 years ago. She has lived in a small fish tank for a long time and now she gets to touch grass.
