Always fun to add a new publication to the special bookcase where I keep books I’ve worked on over the years. Third shelf is going to fill up over the next year!

Tiny delights: Trader Joe’s stocking ranunculus and memories of screenprinting the Aaron Horkey/BRLSQ SunnO))) and Boris poster behind these flowers (the show was better than the printing, which required a redo when the dark brown shade turned out to be mixed with something translucent)

Oh wow. I hope it's just a sudden influx of traffic! It appears "up" for me right now at: project2025.observer

If you see this, why not quote with a beach photo from your photo app?

This is me with my sister-in-law and niece, finishing a beach race not long after I had surgery. That day felt goooood.

Today’s tiny delights amid a fascist shitstorm: weighted blankets and doing taxes on Valentine’s Day because fiscal responsibility is hawt.

Back in 2017, this kind Green Gulch Farm resident explained that they were making an "all-purpose protest banner" to read: Wholehearted Solidarity Against Injustice. I hope it's still being put to regular use:

Just said aloud, to no one, "It hasn't been two fucking weeks yet." So I'm forcing myself into another tiny delight: propagating plants on my desk, right where I can watch their progress.

Superfluous superlative: Via its metallic dust jacket, The Peer Effect (@skyed.bsky.social, @profmchin.bsky.social) is the shiniest education book I've edited in sociology. But the others shine, too!

Distancing the Past (Teeger), Black Boys Apart (Blume Ouer), The Color of Homeschooling (Stewart)
