Flying again today, so of course I'm reading Dewey:
"The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that our experiences are genuinely or equally educative. Experience and education cannot be directly equated to each other. For some experiences are miseducative."

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle.
One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

Chase Strangio said we need to intervene in any and all narratives that work to blame or isolate transgender people. 👀 Step up, push back, be loud. Trans people need to know they aren’t alone and that their allies are legion.

Gilbert cites the study I mentioned in my column re: hegemonic masculinity and it really is a good explanatory lens for *gestures at all of this*. (Also not the same as toxic masculinity.) This column is great and everyone should take a look at the study, too. www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....

Every day this week I've felt like it's Friday. We are in week 10 (of 10), so it's the Friday of the fall term. But sadly not actual Friday. Not even tomorrow. What is this.

Looking back over an email about teaching from a favorite professor--
Students learn to care about learning by seeing someone caring, someone whom they respect (and respect above all for the courage to care), seeing that someone caring for learning, and caring for them.

Grey is kiki and gray is bouba.
I truly think that Americans who insist cholerically on grey spent a lot of time as tots reading Brit children's books and that spelling imprinted itself on them deeply.
OTOH buy me a martini or two and I'll explain to you how gray and grey are two different colors.

Thing you missed this weekend:
For the first time ever, a woman scored non-kicking points in a college football game.
Maddie Barch, the kicker for Kalamazoo, caught a pass for a two-point conversion on a botched PAT.
