My younger self loves (wobbly drawings of flowers, planes, stick figures)
"This is such a beautiful drawing, Ish! I really love looking at it and reading the things that bring you joy. Flowers, travel and your family -- I'm so excited for you to continue exploring this joy with Alejandro, and to open up your heart in magical ways that you had no idea about! Create, surrender, enjoy and play! Keep playing in every area of your life without expectations of an outcome! Winning/losing is an illusion. What matters is that you keep showing up and PLAY!"
Seven people making a star symbol with their hands.
"Keep playing in every area of your life without expectations of an outcome! Winning/losing is an illusion. What matters is that you keep showing up and PLAY!"
I love that I can host spaces where feelings like this naturally arise.

This week's essay features #ttrpg illustrator @sifsweetman.bsky.social on subsurface scattering, collaborating with nature, and overcoming creative blocks.
(Of course I tied it to dependent origination and mutual aid.)
Come see with all your eyes.

Do you get stuck in your head too? Want practice?
Last month, mindful play practice gave Roxanne's imagination "room to run wildly [...] and challenged me to get all my thoughts out quickly without overthinking."
Check out this month's offering below.

Last year, I released a one-page #ttrpg.
Players draw challenging childhood experiences. They then write a response to their "younger self" as their present-day self.
Today, another player called it "fun and cathartic."
Play isn't a game, but that's a win for me.

Hearing from @neuranne.bsky.social at @sxswedu.com right now
She's asking, "How might we value curiosity over certainty in schools?"
I'm 20000% onboard and trying to push out the gatekeepers from the back of my head who demand certainty to measure success

Been working w MS/HS math seminar to better visualize some bedrock computational thinking knowledge and terminology
Worked up this #criticalcreativity activity/formative assessment for learners to interpret emojis as math expressions and vice versa

An outstanding guide to help learners find more #criticalcreativity opportunities through common digital tools

My #edusky friends — fostering this sort of engagement w learners is a good thing! Fanart and fanfic are beautiful pathways to critical thinking and #criticalcreativity
The hitch seems to be getting learners to make the shift into other writing - made easier by building trust thru embracing joy

Add a little #criticalcreativity to your process in the early going and you’ll find making it “good” a lot easier down the road — and more satisfying as well
