One of the skills I'm trying to teach my high school students about digital citizenship is that you do not need to post an opinion on every single piece of Discourse. You don't need to offer your hit take or dive into someone's replies every time.

Write the last chapter of the novel and call it a short story.
Just sold my poem, 'hu li jing', to @havenspec.bsky.social !! This is one of the first poems I've ever submitted and I'm so happy that it's found a home. ๐ Excited to see it in the December issue!
