England is an offensive force! Hopefully they can tap into that the rest of the tournament.

Soccer is by far the best sport for people who don’t start any given game rooting for either team. Just zero to “GO CAPE VERDE” in no time.

I used to sing "three sisters" to my kids at night like a lullaby because it was long enough and easy to remember. my daughter was 13 before she one day said "wait, that song is about murder?! and you sang it to us like it was a lullaby?!"

Is it not possible that where we're headed, since AI will only get better at imitating reality, is a return to relying on trusted journalism instead of whatever pops up in social media feeds?

favorite response so far this semester to a journal assignment asking students what advice they'd have for my future students: "She knows way more than you think and enjoys and listens to what you have to say. If you get her really going, you might have to tell her to take a breath." ... fair 🙈

Recommendation from Frankie at youtu.be/LK8NMhTi6OY?... Funny and thoughtful; reads so true to Slack, too... #📚💙

Cover of "Several People Are Typing" and it's really hard to describe... multiple windows of various transparencies layered over each other; the first has the title, the second has stick figure man draped awkwardly over his desk., the third looks like a circuitboard?

trying a new way of marking favorite lines; washi tape dots folded over the edges of pages. centered the first one but then realized I should leave the larger side of the dot on the page I'm actually marking or I'll just confuse it with the page on the opposite side of the sheet... #annotation #📚💙

#booksky #📚💙 If you need more motivation to buy used books instead of ordering new copies from Amazon, sometimes you discover things like:

Title page of "Normal People" by Sally Rooney. Handwritten note reads "Purchased in Edinburgh, Scotland on the Scotland/Ireland trip with Mom. May 23, 2019 (at Waterstones on Waterloo Place."

Just finished last night: 4.25⭐ First half felt like I was reading David Copperfield... and "Pippa"? and Christmas in the ending? Am I imagining Dickens here and there? Loved Tartt's writing style but could use a trim here and there, esp. at the end. Still a good read! #booksky #📚💙

Cover of "The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt. The title and author are written in what looks to me like a grease pencil but what do I know. Paper wrapping is torn to reveal the painting and the titular bird in the titular painting peeks through.

Today's the sixth day behind water; at least two more before the water recedes enough that we can get to the end of our road and back out into the world. Trying to get work done in the meantime!

I've been recommending Robin Hobb's Ship of Magic to my husband because I know he'd love it almost as much I did, but he didn't want to borrow my Kindle. So the paperback arrived today and the 900pg. TOME he hefted out of the package... I had no idea! I flew through it and raced to the next one! 💙📚

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.
