for instance, Ralph Ellison interviewed Leo Gurley on the corner of 135th and Lenox on June 14, 1939; Leo told him about a man who could make himself invisible. Here, some screenshots to counter those from VF

It is hard to process the loss of Todd Snider. Such an incredible spirit. His songs told the truth, which is what they should do. You can hear it here in his understanding of the working class. Brilliant. I already miss you Todd.

some people listen to podcasts. I mostly listen to the stories Todd Snider tells. And when I'm done, I start over.
Here's a good entry point, showing a master at work.

until this year I gave take-home quizzes, closed book, that required memorization. Moving those three quizzes out of class earned us a full extra session of content.
It’s an exercise in infantilization to do everything you can to prevent a student from taking a shortcut. Let them develop their own agency if they want to. Use your time as an educator to come up with assignments that are good on their own merits & not bc they flummox a probability machine.

Here's a video of the Bayeux Tapestry being carefully removed from its case and packed away. I had my heart in my mouth while watching. And yes, I do have nightmares about it crossing the channel! I had my heart in my mouth just watching this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7ys...

As of now my last buzzard sighting of 2025 is Nov 8, more or less in keeping with the last few years. Still kind of expecting (hoping) to see a few stragglers this week.
#buzzards on the water tower today, after a week with no sightings. Will these be the last of the year? Last year i think my last one was the 18th; in 2022 my last sighting was Nov 13
