Oh, I SO needed this moment! Cup is full and I'm so glad I reconnected with the #literacies community across the time zones! Totally worth staying up till 2:00 am! Thank you all for the life boost that this chat became!
Is the #literacies chat hour over? It went by so fast! Thank you to everyone who came out to #literacies Homecoming. Expect my posts to keep coming as I revisit what I missed. And let's keep collaborating & building collective responses to the now that move us toward the futures envisioned tonight!

A6: I think a renewed vision of #globalliteracies will need to be part of the future(s) of our field. We have the human and technical tools to get there, so let's get to work! #literacies
Q6: What #literacies futures are you envisioning that we can work toward in the present?

Yes to all of this! FYI: Discord servers are amazing for this kind of stuff if you're willing to give that app a try! #literacies
Q4 1/2: I would really love to connect with some folks and do (a)synchronous reading groups over #literacies articles or books. I’d love to be more intentional about building community in this way.

Here's a very selfish one: Can we diversify the time zones? This is my first #literacies chat in 4 years!!!!! And I miss the connections, sometimes isolation across time zones hits hard, let me tell you!
Q4: A community now is more important than ever. What ideas do you have for ways we can support and build the #literacies community through this chat?

A3: The #literacies chat (at least till I couldn't join due to time zone issues in Norway) became a place where I could stay connected with so many literacy scholars. It was a nice way to keep the fellowship in between conferences.
Q3: The #literacies chat began in 2012 with a Derrick Bell quote, "However self-sufficient we may fancy ourselves, we exist only in relation..." What connections have you made with others through the chat?

A2: But let me also take a moment and get a bit emotional and appreciate @writinglit.bsky.social as one of the first places that welcome @lslplegion.bsky.social and our research. That 2015 Pecha Kucha and the 2016 #literacies chat helped put us on the map! THANK YOU!

I came to the #literacies chats as a faculty member, have already hosted 3 times (hoping to get 2 more and hopefully @writinglit.bsky.social will issue me a hoodie as a charter member of our own version of the 5-Timers Club!!!)
Q1: What originally brought you to the #literacies chats? Were you a graduate student? A teacher? A faculty member? Have you guest-hosted?

Back in the day, a lot of folks used TweetDeck to follow the chats with the #literacies hashtag. Not sure if others already know this, but there's a Bluesky equivalent: deck.blue
Just in time for #LiteraciesHomecoming!

I appreciate hearing stories about colleagues getting sabbaticals and promotions to full professor.
I guess some things I'll have to live vicariously after all.
