I helped a bunch of kids engage in a funny, interpersonal, active, playful experience — designed to play off of strengths and build skills — during which they discussed some of the major trends of the 90s

happy birthday! me, too, incidentally
nothing to offer on the marketplace, though— so i’m going to celebrate by spending time with family and sending money to some Palestinian folks whom i deeply wish well

the diffuse internet, surrounding us, which we can blunder around in with no effort — yes. but an intentional internet, created deliberately with others on a smaller scale — that can also exist, and serve very different purposes. less entertainment, more connection.

“ingest information” — this sounds like a rational concept, but there’s a kind of natural human limit that we bump into in terms of HOW we process the information we’re loading into our minds. more is not necessarily better

it does well to challenge the simplistic narrative that students tend to hold about what the holocaust was
