Beautiful notes, Hazel! On a related note: the Green Healthy Schools campaign, led by @alignny.bsky.social, seeks a triple-win for environmental justice, public education, and organized labor through renovating NYC's public school infrastructure. You can learn more about the campaign here.

If you've used my drawn statement on Ai for a class or other Ed context – I'd appreciate learning a bit about that (here or directly), I'd like to document a bit of where it's ended up. And if it's new to you, feel free to make use of it, all online here! Tnx! spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-sy...

my statement on Ai from the mini-comic I'm making as syllabus for a new class I'm teaching this fall. It's simple, but I pretty much said all I have to say on it - it robs you of decisions and struggle - and the joy of being surprised. It robs you of learning...

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - for that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

A promotional graphic for a talk on Scams; Inkling (an inkwell) has just been scammed and is panicking at this computer. Nibford (a dip pen) comforts them as various results of being scammed show above them in bubbles: one contains a mysterious person donning a mask of Inkling's face, signifying identity theft; one contains a dollar bill with wings flying off, signifying a loss of money; one contains malicious hands reaching toward a Social Security card, signifying the risk of important personal documents; and the last contains a group of eyes watching Inkling, signifying a general loss of privacy. Title text says: "Cartoonist Co-op presents...Scams & You: Recent Scams and (hopefully) How to Avoid Them". Subtitle text reads: "September 9; 10 AM PT, 1 PM ET, 5 PM GMT, 3 AM AEST (next day)".
