half price sushi Thursday is the first delightful discovery of autumn and…the new life tradition I will gladly embrace. 🍣💕🎉
Recommended long weekend reading: Centering the Margins Through Critical Instructional Design from @HybridPed …the ID landscape is SO tricky but also there is still hope. criticalinstructionaldesign.…
Ending a meeting early lets everyone live, for a few minutes, in the magic akin to an unexpected snow day when you were a kid.
“…less a roadmap to best practices in instructional design, and more an invitation into a learning community that trusts faculty to engage thoughtfully with the complexities of course design.” So excited to read these + share with my own ID team. hybridpedagogy.org/books/
Said goodbye today to one of the best 13 year olds around. Rest in fluff, love, power Posey girl. ❤️ #dogsforlife
Today we celebrate 11 years of ALL the fashion, snacks, toys and most of all…joy. Dogs are the best. Always.
just spent a delightful 20 minutes looking back through dissertation post-it note pics to send/help out a friend. note to self: recording process feels kinda lame + amorphous in process but SO helpful once you're done to trace back the journey
Things that have happened in the last month: bought a house, sold a house, moved a house, got braces, and had a tooth extracted. Champagne is clearly necessary.
proudest weekend accomplishment: deep cleaning + repainting windows so they now look (almost) new. yep, moving to a 109 yr old house is next level adulting.
in positive news….today, unlike yesterday, I managed to get dressed without tangling my braces in my clothing. related: when you have wires in your mouth, jumpsuits are even more your besties.
yesterday I got braces on my teeth. pretty sure adding “obsessive oral hygiene” to my current pandemic levels of “obsessive hand washing” means 1/3 of my day will now be spent at my sink.
Things you rediscover whilst packing ALL the things: your salad-plate sized Calgary Stampede belt buckle given to you by a dear friend.
This is why moving periodically actually IS worth the stress.
recipe for a nighttime dream sequence that rivals any trippy flashback movie montage: 1 day sorting old photos & letters plus 2 glasses red wine.
moving is the weirdest…but in a good way.
Packing all one’s things when moving house is basically packing for a very long trip but with more cookware and large art.
Community from all over the world, (pics of) snacks, and discussions of co-creation, care, equity, and hope…yep, officially excited to go to #MYfest22 which feels like summer camp but w/more care + less bugs

Since clearly blogging is not over (though my blog is WAY outdated)...did a quick recap post on #OTESSA22. Spoiler alert: so much thanks for the @otessa_org committee + community! Let's have s'more in 2023 🎉 lisasdesignjourney.wordpress…
Learned from @verenanz at #OTESSA22 that the @GOGN_OER network made a picture book on open. So cool! If anyone needs a collaborator on edu ideas + whimsy, 🙋🏻 go-gn.net/go-gn-picture-book…
open as all the usual things in edu and also...and open heart.
how have I never heard of @brennacgray before?? so glad #OTESSA22 has changed this.
