This becomes clear in just a few strips, the exceptions. Like the one where his dad finally drops his work and runs around with Calvin for a day. And everything goes great.

I recently got back from a beautiful residency with the @disco_coop crew in a beautiful hilltop village in Spain. If you're reimagining the possibilities of tech, community, and care, consider getting yourself there: https://days.disco.coop/

If you're in Detroit, consider going to this.

Today, a last-minute pilgrimage in Bremen to the resting place of Ivan Illich, my guide for so many years. In a cemetery full of stone markers and manicured flowers, his is a simple wood cross in a patch of vernacular herbs.

It has been the honor of my work life to serve the people of Colorado as a professor at CU Boulder, and to have my colleagues' support—today, with a medal recognizing tenure. I'm wearing a sweater from my grandfather, an earlier Prof. Schneider.

I'm sad to share news of the passing of Patricia Hetter Kelso, a visionary advocate for democratic ownership and the widow of Louis Kelso, inventor of the ESOP.
