(She/Her) A community & technical college #tyc writing teacher #fyw in the upper Midwest. Uninvited settler. Likes: books, bicycles, and blasphemy. A little obsessed with: #OER #ungrading #memes #AntiDiet #IntuitiveEating
I joined this space almost a year ago… and since I don’t want to ditch it completely, I’ve put in a semi-creepy AI profile pic, and I’m alerting anyone who needs to know that I’ll probably be the most active with #ungrading on the Discord server David Buck started. As for #OER, I’ll share those creations and observations on LinkedIn and maybe IG or a select few social media sites… Idk.
OR maybe I’ll try to use my blog more? https://bit.ly/SybilsBlog

“You always told me it takes time. It has taken my father’s time, my mother’s time, my uncle’s time, my brothers’ and my sisters’ time, my nieces’ and my nephews’ time. How much time do you want for your ‘progress’?” —James Baldwin
