Just wanted to share what looks to be a pretty fantastic collection from @frazzledlit.bsky.social. I haven’t published with them so this isn’t a self-plug, etc., but they do an amazing job putting out thoughtful, well-written, and engaging work and do a ton of good for the broader community.

The fact we have an executive class that doesn't know what to do with the Looney Tunes or The Muppets really sums up what a joyless, barren world they inhabit.

Happy to have “Morning” in the most recent issue of The Indianapolis Review. This poem follows an early summer morning performing PT exercises as part of a treatment and maintenance program for chronic health issues. theindianapolisreview.com/morning/

A small Sad Jack appears on the cover on top of the 'time' in "limited time!" The background is an array of fresh produce, indicating we are in a grocery store or farmer's market. Two front hooves in grayscale (presumably Sad Jack's) hold the top of the shopping basket.

God bless editors that let you know when you just missed publishing something with them, especially when they provide additional context and advice. Everyone is busy, I know, so this often isn’t possible, but it means so much in an industry that can really beat you down at times.

1. A lot of people are focused on the apparent contradiction/absurdity of Trump blockading the Strait if he wants to open it. And yes, that is a real issue. But the even more immediate concern is what the U.S. Navy must do to actually put this plan into effect.

Today, finding a good place to advertise is HARD. Readers are no longer reading large newspapers for reviews. Book tours are expensive and rare. Being booked on a show is near impossible. But, no advertising usually means low sales. Where do you advertise? #writingcommunity #booksky #marketing

Thrilled to have a piece out in @gsole.bsky.social's Effective Practices series! This article explores how personalized videos can humanize students' exp in first-year writing courses, esp when built into the design of universal course shells for large-enrollment classes gsole.org/olor/ep/2026...

Front page of article: A Little Goes a Long Way: Using Short, Informal Videos to Personalize and Build Classroom Community in Virtual Teaching Environments
by Scott Ortolano
Florida SouthWestern State College

Publication Details
OLOR Series: OLOR Effective Practices
Author(s): Scott Ortolano
Original Publication Date: 20 February, 2026

Abstract
This resource explores how brief, personalized 1-2 minute videos—recorded in a single take and featuring the instructor’s face—can humanize online writing courses by recreating more informal modes of resource sharing that are often excluded from virtual environments. Perhaps most importantly, when faculty and instructional designers use this strategy to build universal course shells, it empowers teachers to either seamlessly personalize the class by replacing the provided videos with their own or to treat the featured instructor videos as an embedded co-teacher. At its core, this model advances key OLI principles by promoting accessible, student-centered design, preserving instructor agency within shared course models, and supporting the collaborative development of high-quality online writing instruction.
