My deep thought and gift to you today:

“Remember the things a convicted felon posts on TruthSocial don’t have to be ideas that are “top of mind” for us every day. It’s hard, but we should not let fascists control the newsfeed of our own minds.”

For more on these ideas, check out my upcoming #Thrive2026 online presentation, “Reclaiming Our News Feeds:”

To help my Middle School coding class in Canvas be easier to navigate and just more FUN, I used Nano Banana / Gemini 3 to create some banner graphics for my course homepage, which link to different modules.

I used one Gemini chat to design and create the image prompts, and a separate chat to GENERATE the actual images, using the same colors, style, characters, “vibe,” etc.
