We still need moderators for #SummerSchool

We only have 9 people signed up to moderate, and we have 20 presentations. Moderators are key to the conference.

I want to open the July #SFFBookClub poll in a couple of days, so if you have any books you'd like to nominate just let me know.

Just heard about the passing of Andrew Hackard (the "Munchkin Tzar"). Saddened to hear about this. Sending love to the friends, family, and Munchkin community writ large. He will definitely be missed.

@naga I have a big curly handlebar.

But yeah, cops and Mike Lindell has a very specific mustache type that communicates I'm totally sketch.

I know the pandemic has sucked for varying degrees for everyone, but how is people's reading going? Do you need peer pressure?

In short, I am asking if there is ANY interest in reviving the #YAMGBookClub relatively soonish in the future.

If you don't know what those letters mean, I originally intended it to be a Young Adult or Middle Grade book every month, preferably from diverse perspectives, and we would post about the books, love or hate, just engage genuinely.

HMU if you're interested

Using a heart rate monitor (HRM) to better manage #MECFS

New post talking about how using a HRM is changing my behaviour & will hopefully bring some improvement to my ME symptoms.

Yes, this was the reason for all my questions about Heart Rate Monitors a couple of months ago :)

Hi all!

One of my dear friends has a child who is beginning to question their gender identity (specifically, they have questions about what it means to be nonbinary, as they believe that they may be!).

Her kiddo is eleven and is looking for books about coming out as nonbinary and support/affirmation for those that are.

Book recs for mom and kid would be greatly appreciated. ty!

Score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

A return to form for the series!

Good:
* We meet Sabetha! She's well developed character in addition to being Locke's obsession.
* Locke's love blunders are masterfully depicted & invoke nice, fluffy schadenfreude feeling.
* Two story-lines (historic & contemporary) are both enjoyable & intertwine nicely.

Bad:
* Locke's origin story feels tacked-on as a hook for a sequel that is yet to materialize 8 years later.

I'm frustrated by folks in the U.S. community college system who emphasize that students need to learn 'time management.' A ton of our students must juggle full-time work, family care, & other tasks. They quite simply don't have time. Let's not force students to somehow magically create a 25th hour in the day. Let's figure out as colleges how to deal with students who have no time.

I usually use a Mac with an iPad for WFH, but now that I’m back to reality, I’m using a Windows work desk top.

Any ideas on Windows PC + iPad workflow?

I've been using Zotero for years. It has all these tools that I rarely use: notes, tags, related etc.

Does anyone have good resources (or just personal suggestions) on how to get more out of Zotero?
