I would love to have that gorgeous pocket notebook (A6 size) with lovely dotted paper inside of a gorgeous leather travelers notebook cover, but I am not paying nearly $200 for it. The cover isn't even stitched on the edges! It's just a raw edge. Pretty sure I can make one myself in the makerspace.

Embedded Pedagogies is out! Available freely online through @openbookpublish.bsky.social and for purchase in a variety of different formats. It's a tough time to teach, and it's easy to feel helpless. In this book I argue for an expansive view of teaching and the work it can do in the world.

Reminder: 1. You don't need to have an opinion on everything, especially stuff you don't know enough about 2. You don't need to have a PUBLIC opinion on everything 3. It's okay to focus on one or two things and let others take up the slack elsewhere 4. It's okay to take a break when overwhelmed.

Just in case it comes up, remember that November is National Veterans and Military Families Month, so, actually, Vets get more than just a single day. Also, it's existed as a federally recognized thing for 30 years now. Also National Military Appreciation Month is May.

Faculty: libraries and librarians need your advocacy BEFORE our collections are shuttered and our workers are fired. Whether you think your library is in trouble, and it almost definitely is, write to your provost and tell them how essential the library and library staff are to your work. Right now.

@quinnanya.me I just finished a slow read of Sayers' _The Nine Tailors_, which features bell ringing. One of the book club members found this knitting pattern in a 1983 knitting resource, The Knitting Workshop, by Jacqueline Fee. It's a sweater knitted according to a set of bell ringing changes:

1983 knitting pattern titled Ringing The Changes. The pattern is based on a bell peal with 5 bells. The image includes instructions for knitting the pattern, and expanding it.
