@DrewFranklinKSR Until I heard the call with your dad, I had no idea that you have a house divided like I do. Both of my parents went to UT, but my brother and I, our spouses and our children are all UK grads. 😄😄 So glad 💙 won today!

@BeckyKeene I’m enjoying using @Grammarly, too. But its suggestion to use a comma before the words but or and when the second half of the sentence is not an independent clause bugs me 🤣😜🤷🏼♀️
I always dismiss that suggestion.

@jonboyhst @KySportsRadio Retired high school English teacher here. Your use of double negatives actually changes the meaning of your statement. Might want to double check 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️

"For the last 9-months, my wife, Brooklyn has been pregnant with a very sick baby boy. Three or four months ago, we learned that the baby had severe hydrocephalus. Back in the old days, hydrocephalus was called, 'water on the brain' - too much brain fluid. Ultimately, we were referred to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where we were told by several of the most highly regarded fetal specialists in the country that his condition was dire. The baby's condition was 'off the charts bad'. It was so extreme that the specialists stopped measuring and monitoring his fluid level because, at that point, it didn't really matter. The MRIs were sickening to look at.
We were told, point blank, that there was over a 90% chance that the baby would either die shortly after birth or have such severe cognitive impairments that any quality of life would be hard to imagine. We had a meeting with palliative care regarding the use of life-sustaining measures and had detailed, awful, and emotional discussions about the ethics of when we might need to remove or cease such measures - which would result in the baby 'passing away peacefully.
Brooklyn relocated to Cincinnati and lived in a hotel close to the hospital - in case she went into labor. I commuted back and forth. On July 8th, Brooklyn did indeed go into labor. Literally, 15 minutes before they wheeled her back to start the C-section, we had another meeting with doctors regarding the use of a breathing tube and at what point we might need to remove that tube and let the baby go to Heaven. Guess what? The baby came out crying - which was the sweetest sound I ever heard.
In a nutshell, Charlie Schnarr stayed in infant intensive care until yesterday - when we all came home. He seems to be a normal, beautiful baby doing all the things that babies do. He has mild ventricular enlargement, but we can deal with that with checkups.
How did this happen?!
The doctors said, 'We do not have and cannot come up with a medical explanation for what we've witnessed here. Somehow his brain found a way to naturally clear the blockage or re-route the fluid that was causing the oppressive backup of brain fluid. During the last week, I heard the words, 'divine intervention' and 'miracle' more times than I could count. Nurses with decades of experience and esteemed, nationally admired doctors were flabbergasted but jubilant. Because of the domino effect of friends, family, clients, colleagues, and even strangers praying and asking others to pray for us, I do not doubt that there were thousands of people praying for us.
I'm a practical person that certainly believes in science and medical technology, but I absolutely know, from the bottom of my heart, that God was involved in this. I give ALL of the credit and glory to Him. Prayer is positively powerful. God is real, and He still performs miracles."

Nothing warms my ❤️ more than sharing with educators. So when @WoodSchoolsWV needed @canva training, I raised my hand high!
Is it just me, or did that marching band just play “Almost Heaven”?

Another great start to the day, moderating for @edtechwells as he shared how @Copilot works across a @Microsoft365 environment. @UTAustin employees asked thought-provoking questions and showed a real desire to learn! @i2eEDU @MicrosoftEDU

@dmmcghee @edtechwells @UTAustin @Copilot @i2eEDU @MicrosoftEDU @Copilot is just my favorite LLM right now! Glad other educators got to benefit from the session :)

Happy to support @edtechwells today as he helped employees at @UTAustin learn more about @Copilot chat for web and work. Great conversations and discussions.

@VictoriaTheTech I read The Heart Mender recently, and it included a passage about the Tytler Cycle. I had never heard that theory before so had to deep dive. Very interesting stuff.

Thank goodness 20 years as a school district tech director prepared me for this *momentous* occasion—spotting a fake email. Honestly, I haven’t felt this validated since I taught someone how to attach a file... circa 2K. 🤣😉 #phishingprevention #stillclickingsmart

Great way to start the week! Moderating for @edtechwells as he helps @utsystem employees learn to use @Copilot in @powerpoint and @OneNoteEDU to boost productivity.
