Humble RPG Bundle: Numenera RPG Collection by Monte Cook Games Get the ultimate tabletop role-playing (TTRPG) bundle for Numeneraβ€”an engrossing and addicting adventure through Earth in the distant future.

Save big on Numenera and support the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

This is a fantastic bundle with so much strangeness!

I love this game and not just because we were playtesters.

Sometimes a parent asks me about something that I think a lot of people wonder about. I've started a Substack so I can respond and share resources with everyone, not just my members and subscribers. See how I responded to a question about admission requirements: https://bit.ly/LDAdSS4

This MAGA-led California city council just lost its fight on banned books Huntington Beach voters support repealing a community board that bans library books.

In Huntington Beach, advocates for public libraries championed two ballot measures to counter policies by the conservative city council.

The measures both passed Tuesdayβ€”one ends a book review board, the other bars the privatization of local libraries. www.sfgate.com/polit...

β€œDon’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

If you have a high school student with a disability, you may wonder what happens when they get to college. In this post for @ADDitude, I explain. Let me know if you learned anything from this! bit.ly/ADDMagCAs

A portrait of Rosa the Southern sea otter at the Monterey Bay Aquarium as she floats on her back. She has soft, blonde fur on her face and chest, and wet, chocolatey brown fur on her tummy. Her small brown paws are raised up out of the water with the pads facing the camera as she looks off to the right. The muted morning light in the exhibit on a foggy morning has turned everything tones of sepia.
