Day 150 (of 2024/25) My Rant (anniversary edition with comments about Personal Screens & AI) My Rant began awhile ago… ten years ago since my ‘edited’ version: https://technolandy.wordpress.com/2015/05/01/day-150-of-188-my-anxiety-rant-edited-continued-blog4mh-anxiety/ and most of my philosophy has remained pretty much the same ~ though as the years evolve, and technology becomes more interwoven into everything we do… or…

Day 148 (of 2024/25) #reddressday #MMIWG2S Carolyn Roberts is phenomenal, and her writing of Red Dress Day is by far better than mine: https://www.carolynroberts.net/single-post/thinking-about-red-dress-day-for-elementary-students but today is a day to remember the Missing & Murdered Indigenous WOmen, Girls and 2SLGBTQI+ that often go unreported and/or uninvestigated.  Highway of Tears and the lack of investigations into…
