    The suggested "teach it as theory" approach doubtless works perfectly for cats. But is failing dreadfully when used to teach literacy to Australian school children.

    "Today we are learning the writing process."

    Edit: Anyone can see that, "Today we are learning to forge sick notes" will work better for children.

  7. New #introduction for the new folks! I #amwriting #magicalrealism #fiction. I'm a #scholar and a #folklorist. I'm an #artist. I've consulted in #branding and #strategy for 15 years. I just got a masters in #anthropology and #history because that's what I'd like to focus on, moving forward. You can find my #art on patreon.com/independentpen, along with lots of other stuff – public talks that I give at conferences and such, and some of my fiction read aloud, and my #poems.

  8. @independentpen Hey there! Nice to meet you as well! I think I first labeled myself a #panentheist around the year 2000, and it stuck!

    #FollowFriday continued:

    @independentpen My team mate in managing #MythologyMonday at the #birdsite. Together we hope to bring the hashag to Mastodon over time! Any #mythology and #folklore lovers will enjoy her toots!

    @roob Loyal #PhallusThursay and #FannyFriday supporter 🙏 I hope he'll stay ❤️ As a fellow geek, this would seem like the right place?

  10. Welcome back everyone! I'm your host @independentpen and our topic this week is #CATS. Share a story from world mythology in the body of your toot, tag it #MythologyMonday, and I'll boost in Pacific time!

  11. @juergen_hubert Likewise! I hope we can get a critical mass to form a #mythodon 😁 @independentpen is here too but I haven't found many mythology and folklore fans yet.

  12. Greetings, myth lovers! Join us this #Monday for the theme FLOWERS! 💐
    Which myths are about a special flower or flowers? Tell us the #story in your toot and use the hashtag #MythologyMonday for boosts!
    Your host @independentpen will be delighted by your beautiful flower myths! 🌻

  13. Guys. Can we talk about tipping? These tip screens are getting out of hand, right? I know a lot of people depend on tips but ... can we just, have prices? rather than marking up everything 15% at checkout? I am feeling some major demand avoidance building up in me

  18. New podcast you didn't know you needed. Blair Braverman is a dog musher, adventurer and writer. Her pod is about survival stories and her ability to tell them is beyond. Go subscribe to *What to carry, what to burn*

  19. I did a read-through of a novel manuscript that I completed a while back (#amQuerying). It's good to occasionally pick up something you've written and read it fresh, as a reader. It's *really* good to do that and think, damn this is a good ride

  22. I gave a talk on #franzBoas a couple weeks ago - the hegemony-smashing #antiracist founder of American #anthropology, who swam upstream during the leadup to WW2 (and got pushed out of his job at #ColumbiaUniversity for it - good job Columbia!).

    So close to being ready to share it online! Stay tuned!
