Hey #BookSky, here’s what I read in January. (Heavy on #TournamentOfBooks selections.) The Wedding People was my favorite. Orbital felt like meditation. World of Wonders was full of delightful metaphors.

A few days after the election, I decided my family needed a puppy. Now, as I wake up and read the news, this is at my feet. Have to take a long walk later. Tug on a rope and release aggression. I’m not saying everyone should go get a puppy, but I am not NOT saying that, either.

Delightfully stumbled upon my favorite treat (Sugarwitch) at the grocery store while stressfully running errands. Slowed down and savored. #STL #JoyIsResistance

Starting the day off with some adorable violence. #Cats

Thinking a lot about enclaves ("safe spaces") today and reading an article from Karma R. Cha ́vez. As we think about social media, "echo chambers," and activist goals, this seems important.

Highlighted screenshot of a quote: "First, *activists interpret external rhetorical messages that are created about them,* the constituencies they represent, or both. In the case of coalition-building, these *meaning-making processes* serve as the *rationale to build bridges with allies.* Second, activists use enclaves as the sites to *invent rhetorical strategies to publicly challenge oppressive rhetoric* or to create new imaginaries for the groups and issues they represent and desire to bring into coalition. It is the former function I discuss here."

Would love some thoughts on how educators are balancing AI-generated content pros/cons and how families (especially #secularhomeschool families) are responding to classes/materials with AI-generated content.

Document titled "Reader Come Home Summary (This summary has been generated using Otter.AI") that includes five time-stamped lists of summarized content from a video transcript.

A continued list of summarized, bullet point lists of content from an auto-generated transcript of a book discussion on the book Reader, Come Home.
