Recently dreamed that @paulapoundstone.bsky.social came up with (and shared w/me) a brilliant new way to teach Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles. It used props, some sort of grid, & lots of yellow flowers. I was too excited to do justice to The Poundstone Method & flubbed it. Hoping for a dream re-do.

It's like someone reached deep into my soul, ripped out the most essential part, and made a sign out of it.

Educacioun that doth focus on 'workforce' alone wythout serious focus on the thrivinge and curiousitye of the individual and on the collective exploration of big questiouns about societye, knowledge, power, love, historye, and art -- that ys not educacioun, that ys just training.

Hello Bluesky. What do y’all do to ignore the apocalypse out the window? I’ve been painting. Here’s a pigeon ready for the Kentucky derby.

Spent way too long searching for a blinking emoji. *blink blink* And thanks. Those were Bad Times for me, family-emergency-wise. I remain grateful. And I know you did an amazing job.
