The TG2 community was my entry into progressive education systems & so many friendships I've held dear to this day. Many years, a career change, and TG2's own transformation into @growbeyondgrades.org later, the @humrespro.bsky.social gang finally got to hang out with @achiaravalli.bsky.social!

For my Top 10 list of 2024, I cast my lot on the side of movies and all the art forms they incorporate (literature, drama, painting, photography, music). If we're about to head into a world where culture is even more imperiled, let it be known that I'm with the arts, bitch. slate.com/culture/2024...

No phones.
No homework.
A compromise in the phone ban discussion.
What we really want is for kids to be “present” at school.
So let’s not interfere with their being “present” at home.
Let’s have the presence of mind for the Present (times we live).
A gift for a gift.

River basins of Asia visualized by @researchremora. Have a look at the Himalayas. They provide so much water. That’s mostly why there is geopolitical interest in surrounding regions.
