I've been working with @eam0.bsky.social, James Brunton, and @slowtech2000.bsky.social on a systemic critique of EdTech practices using a model for degrowth pragmatism to effect meso-level change. Clare and I developed this figure to help illustrate the theoretical approach...

I have done everything possible to keep Mary cool during this heatwave. This evening I found her in the hottest room in the house, at the hottest time of day, perched upon a corduroy stool that had been pushed into the last available sun spot before the sun started to set.

Surely I’m not the only one that sees the similarity here…

Opening day of the Great American State Fair drew light crowds, long walks, and mixed reactions from visitors. Here's what it was like inside the America 250 event. washingtonian.com/2026/06/26/i...

This week I attended the Postdigital Backlash: Past, Present, Future conference in Zagreb.

Conference fun with @www.reclaimhosting.com at #EdTech2026

It was my great pleasure to return my debt of gratitude to the @iltasky.bsky.social community by co-chairing the #EdTech2026 at @dublincityuni.bsky.social with @lwnyrb.bsky.social. It was humbling to take on this stewardship for the year -- blog post to follow. Thank you all for participating.

An invitation to conversation: to design differently, deploy differently and refashion our relationships to edtech from @discoursology.bsky.social acknowledging fragility and strengthening our human bonds at #edtech26.

Going to take this on my evening walk tonight ahead of the @iltasky.bsky.social #EdTech26 conference next week -- looking forward to replenishing my @www.reclaimhosting.com sticker collection :)

This is so so upsetting. So Grammerly is violating the memory of bell hooks AND making AI versions of the rest of us before we're even dead. Someone tell me who to sue, not even joking.

Late last semester, I wrote a review of @neilselwyn.bsky.social Digital Degrowth for @pdse.bsky.social. It was a slightly daunting task considering how much I respect Neil's work, and I hope I have done it justice. Thanks so much for your generous contributions and scholarship, Neil. rdcu.be/e0nbV
