Always striving to better understand how we translate learning research into educational practice, especially in literacy. Also enjoy most things Star Trek, cheese, mythology/folklore, language nerdery, cool things in Portland, OR, and union solidarity.

The person driving this car approached me in the parking lot and threatened to punch me in the face because I honked at him. White guy, 6'/6'2", stocky, short white frizzy hair, about 60 yo. It's Portland so someone must know who this is. Please RS. #PDX #Portland @missedconnections.bsky.social

Also, serendipitous timeline

Screenshot of a post from Will Burrows about a teacher pronouncing the name of a fictional character as "beeb" instead of "bebe" followed by a post by actor and singer Bebe Neuwirth.

Yes. Absolutely. And also, what?

Text from an article about an upcoming film version of The Odyssey. Highlighted portion reads, "There's also the curious choice of characters like Odysseus or Athena speaking in American accents, which feels a bit jarring if we consider the literary context of Homer's 'The Odyssey'."

My favorite morally ambiguous assassin (?), Hawk from Spenser for Hire:

Pictured from the shoulders up, a bald man with a goatee wearing sunglasses and holding a large, silver handgun in his right hand with the barrel of the gun pointing straight up. The collar of his black coat is turned up and the shirt he's wearing underneath is buttoned all the way up to his throat. In the background, there are trees with no leaves and snow on the ground.

Look what I scored! For free!

A paper sorter of the kind that used to often be used in offices. There is a flap of thick paper for every letter of the alphabet. The flaps are all about 3 inches wide but vary in length from about 6 inches to about 2 feet. They are stacked on top of each other going from shortest on top to longest on the bottom and are all attached on the left side. The top flap has the letter A printed on it and this continues in alphabetical order with Z printed on the bottom. You can lift the flaps and place papers between them to help alphabetize in an organized manner.

Union actions work! Please continue to boycott New Seasons Market locations until they settle a fair contract with the New Seasons Labor Union. This is the parking lot of the Seven Corners location at 1pm today (a Sunday!) where I helped with flier distribution and raising awareness.

A mostly empty grocery store parking lot. There are 5 cars parked in different areas of the parking lot. There are trees and grass around the lot. The grocery store is towards the background and there are large, grey clouds in a partly sunny blue sky.

Well I appreciate the information you share immensely! And I hope you're blocking all those jerky mcjerkersons at the first offense. Here's a picture of a really nice cat to reset.

A bengal cat laying on its side on an outdoor couch with blue cushions. The cat's face looks like it's smiling with eyes closed and front legs extended towards the back of the couch. There is dappled sunshine on the cat and the couch.

Getting emails about pre-orders from @bkswpicspdx.bsky.social today. (Which, honestly, yes please.)

Two pictures in a horizontally split box. Top pictures is a city completely on fire with a caption that reads, "The world:" Bottom picture is a picture of a white man with his hands cupped around his open mouth yelling and the caption is "Me: Do you need any comic books" It is implied that the man is yelling this question to the burning city. Also, the man is the actor and comedian Will Ferrell.

A large, white unicorn rearing up on its back legs over a fallen log with a speech bubble that reads "Yeah!". In the foreground there is a little white unicorn, probably a baby, laying in a patch of grass and yellow and white flowers with a speech bubble that reads, "Hell yeah!" In the background there are clouds and mountains.

without downloading anything, reskeet or respond with an image that expresses how you’re feeling

An old looking painting which is a portrait of a person who looks much like Queen Elizabeth 1 wearing a crown, a wide, lace ruff and long sleeved dress. We can see the person from the waist up and there are dark tapestries hanging in the background. There is a caption in white lettering that saya, "someone fetch me my dick guillotine, the little one."

The 2nd annual classy Halloween cheese board:

Round wooden board with several kinds of cheese, crackers, grapes, figs, and dries cherries on it. The board is on a table and the table is draped with a lacy black tablecloth. Only the top of the table with cloth is visible. In the background is a wall painted green, a bookcase, and a couch.

When the timeline give you a fun little coincidence gift: (cc: @tmbg.bsky.social , @marawilson.bsky.social )

A screen shot of two blue sky posts.

The first is a post from the band They Might Be Giants with the text "Perth, day two" and a photo of two men who are the founders of the band. Both are white men with glasses, one slightly farther from the camera than the other and has a beard.
Beneath that post is a post from Mara Wilson with the text "They Might Be Giants have exiated for ten times as long as the confederacy"

I need everyone to see my amazing accomplishment! I fit all of my kid's dorm room bedding and towels in to this single bag. Comforter, mattress pad, 2 sets of sheets, 2 pillows, 2 towels, 2 hand towels, 6 washcloths, & one of those towel wraps w/ the velcro closure on top. (Sunglasses for scale)

A black vinyl bag, approximately 4 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet in a rectangular prism shape with a zipper on top and 2 canvas handles. The bag is full and on a wood floor with a pair of sunglasses next to it towards the right side.

Also, these pugs were dressed up like Taylor Swift and the football man last Halloween. Their person was kind enough to let everyone in the coffee shop take pics. I hope you have a light case and recover completely and quickly.

I know we're all kind of not ok in the Portland area and the Gorge right now but the City of Troutdale seems particularly unhinged.

Ice encrusted statue of what appears to be a white settler woman. The ice has partially melted from half of the face making it look quite eerie or zombie like. The text with the picture states "Here we go again, folks. As of right now we're looking at a 3 hour late start for City Hall on Friday, January 19. We're hoping to be open at 11:00 a.m. But, well...you know."

Unintentional Barbenheimer tea service.

Well I'm a week and a day late but I still want to show off our trick-or-treat book table inspired by @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com's All Hallows Read. And we're not fascists so they get candy too.

Two tables, one higher, one lower, both covered with an orange and black Halloween pumpkin tablecloth, both with books stacked and displayed on them. The tables are on a front porch with a porch swing. There's a plastic skeleton on the porch swing and trees with red autumn leaves in the background.

Books displayed on tables which are draped in an orange and black Halloween pumpkin tablecloth.

Captain Kirk standing at a table where 3 women are sitting. One of the women is saying to him, "ah yes, dick, you spoke to Luma also of dick but we do not understand."

The same woman who is the leader of the planet is frustrated and angry saying, "dick and dick! What is dick?!"

Some of my favorite moments:

Lieutenant Uhura with a caption that reads, "what would they want with Mister Spock's dick? What use is it?"

Captain Kirk replying "yes, why would they want it"

Portland people! So many ripe plantains at 7 Corners New Seasons!

Your baby out in the world (in terrible lighting).

Girl dinner (it's okra) (and I got full halfway through so now I have leftovers for breakfast) (And it probably doesn't actually qualify as girl dinner because I did actually put some effort into it. But it was just what I wanted with no editing or adding for others.)

Filled up the big pot and still have 15 more to get in there!
