Same 😩

Obsessed with this core idea - will read

Read the NYtimes track by track on Horses this weekend and I still so VIVIDLY remember where I was when I first got those opening lines of Gloria to play on my dad’s record player

If you wanna be depressed sometime, read Jane McAleevy about what it was like being there and told to hold back from stoking popular energy on Gore’s side

A distinction I’ve heard Hahrie Han discuss that I found compelling is how a big welcoming door needn’t mean throwing values out the window—the fact our discourse is led by proposals to grow the tent by trashing core positions is bc we’ve so devalued organizing & building relationships/institutions.

I believe one of my parenting failings is a disinterest in overly policing the boundaries of fantasy, magic, etc but I assume it will all work out eventually 🤷‍♀️

Also our child came home asking about Pennywise in *preschool*

However when she saw this guy she was entranced and then excitedly told me “mom clowns are actually real!!!” 😬

Do not visit the 13th St area on Halloween if you wanna preserve that investment (sorry)

💞

My husband is still shaken by memories of the bacchanal on the Christmas light blocks of 13th street

Sarah Caudwell’s mysteries are fun. Lolly Willowes is quick and perverse wish fulfillment. Nonfiction, I enjoyed The Garden Against Time.

TY! Yeah it’s bleakly fascinating how we track measures of belonging in our district surveys but don’t intervene to meaningfully shift them

Obsessed with trying to crack this code now that I have a 4th grader — heartbreaking on many levels to hear a kid sound hopeless and disengaged

TY for this. We have no known process or parameters for how these tools are selected and how much they are deployed in the classroom despite them now being ubiquitous. (It’s mind boggling, but I think a byproduct of unexpectedly getting 1:1 digital access in 2020)
