You’re spending twice the price for the physical copy. It’s one of the (if not THE) greatest valued games out there; you get so much gameplay for $15.

I had no idea! I’ve always just downloaded the digital version and I assumed Concerned Ape kept it digital to keep the price down.

I don’t play enough, unfortunately, to even know what exists; that’s the problem. 🫣

First thing I think of is Stardew Valley, which breaks the “must be physical” rule.

Percival Everett got two standing ovations and thousands of laughs at today's electric #NCTE25 Opening General Session.

Asked by @anterobot.bsky.social about young people who aspire to a career in writing, he said: "My advice to all my students—whether they're my kids or graduate students—is read."

A diverse flight crew of a gay guy, a Black man, and a woman

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

#tlap chat moves to BlueSky tonight at 7:30pm Central!
Note the 30 minutes earlier time slot to avoid conflict with #EduSkyChat.
Oh well…after 12 yrs, moving 30 mins won’t kill me. Moving on! Hope you will join us to discuss the power of #gratitude. @taramartinedu.bsky.social will co-host!

#EduSky #AIEd We might want to grab all the resources on #AI & #education currently available from US DoEd's Office of Educational Technology in case next US government cycle affects availability of content. See tech.ed.gov/ai/

Reminder, once you process, and laugh, because it IS hysterical, remember: The tragicomedy of it all is intended to destabilize us. While we ask, "How can they be serious?" they will dismantle institutions.

The grass is still green and the sky is still blue. Remember who you are.

Ungrading for Equity Ungrading is an equitable practice because grades do harm. And marginalized students are the ones most harmed by grades. Finding ways to reduce that harm is imperative if equity or justice is our goal...

I’ve had the same desk chair for over a year, and TODAY I finally figured out how to adjust the tilt of the back. I find myself questioning my own intelligence more and more frequently lately.

I’m getting very excited as I discover more and more Bluesky chats! I miss the teacher communities I learned so much from on that other platform. Can’t wait to join in! #EduSky

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.
