Literacy is load-bearing, y'all. Not AI literacy, not digital literacy, not media literacy. Literacy literacy.

Hey all—I am super psyched to be updating and teaching the Supercharged Storytimes class on Library Juice in April 2027! Early literacy storytime content, literacy messages to grownups, and iterative assessment. AMA ❤️

Visiting the chillest library program ever: Tummy Time, an unstructured hangout for babies and their grownups, with a visitor from our early childhood council who can discuss free support services. A volunteer made our sensory lap quilts ❤️

Commercial carpeting covered with colorful blankets and baby toys. You can see a baby’s leg on the blanket and a grownup’s coffee at the edge.

Photo of a small lap quilt made of many different textures fabrics, such as vinyl, satin, courderoy, knit, and flannel

I emailed a library asking for a small but annoying favour, and they did me a big favour and it's provided absolutely crucial data for a new project and publication, and slopAI could never and yay for humans, and librarians and archivists in particular.

Watching all the cool new journalism/writing ventures starting & remembering the massive impact the discontinuation of Google Reader had on online media & I think there is a real opportunity for a next gen aggregator that will let people see all the new content from their subscriptions in 1 place.

My next book, a practical guide for how to write for mass media, publishes four weeks from today. I hope you'll consider ordering it now, inviting me to speak, and to tell others. Here's what @tressiemcphd.bsky.social said about my work. Pre-order here: www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/...

A screenshot of my cover with this quote: David Perry is one of the most trusted voices on how to think, write, and work in public. He has a clear ethic about the critical importance of intellectual labor at a moment when the risks of being public have rarely been greater, and the reasons why academics must risk it have rarely been so clear."
