There are a number of people in Hollywood where I have said the following about them for years: Their most successful fictional narrative is the story of who they are. Which is not who they are. Itโs the *story* theyโve put out there and most people are convinced by it.
Love art. But no pedestals.

Sarah Lynne Bowman is the OG! And it feels strange to say it, but I'd add myself, especially around education and ttrpgs!

My most-viral post ever:
โBook historian who tells students constantly that if they listen to the audiobook, they are literally reading 18th century novels the way the large chunk of the original audience experienced the book. Silent, solitary reading by eye alone is so so recent!โ

Calling all educator friends and nerds. What are your thoughts about the intersection of education and consent? Can we have authentic consent from students in the classroom? #highered #consent #k12
