I *really* want to get to PCD at @NACIS this year. Great list of talks and many by lovely, former UW Cartography folks! @RealRossThorn @song_zihan@LeanneFaybraham
@TheCurrent Losing Andrea and Sean to new (ad)ventures and Sanni to Carbon Sound, seems like the Purple Current ship is sailing unmanned. "New" music is over a year old (and overplayed bc of new status) and now Funk at 5 and the Purple Hour are gone. It's my fave station. Halp!💜

A thread
@Miss_Mielle I had a student who, if her mom left for work before she left for school in the morning, she would have to skip school to take care of her younger siblings. I hate that the choice was made for her. She did the responsible thing but her education suffered.
@blgtylr Going to get one of these for my husband so I don't have to hear him yell at Google every morning when it doesn't give him the exact weather info he requested. 😂
@northlandiguana Thank you for taking the time to record your presentation for @WisLandInfo when you couldn't make it to our annual conference in person. Very valuable content! 🗺
