Here is ‘curious’ framed as part of a counterstory to toxic masculinity

Here is @thevogelman.bsky.social identifying "curiosity" as a value to model in the classroom:

"In short, I’m trying to model what it is to be cautiously curious, to engage in reflective reconnaissance, and to share what I learn along the way."

This is a particularly blatant example of sthg at the core of a dynamic /attitude I've always sensed & hated but couldn't put my finger on, until Ed Ongweso Jr named it in this fantastic article: incuriosity. Never trust people who don't care, and want you not to care, about the why & how of things.
