this #PublicWorksWeek, embrace the mundane monotony of uninterrupted utility service.
when utilities work, you don’t even think about them. they’re just there.
and we’re OK being boring. reliable. expected. there is value in that.
here’s to the utility crews everywhere who make that happen.

In this interview, Emily comments that as a teacher, you're a side character in 30 simultaneous coming-of-age novels happening around you to 30 separate protagonists, and that aspect of teaching high school is very visible in this story.

That’s not true. The solution is: students who care about learning, small classes, deep, humanistic connection, no grades or grades solely on process rather than outcome, changing the whole notion of assessment to remove the things that rewards cheating.

And if you missed our season 1 coverage of Andor, definitely go back and listen to it, starting here. We did our best to dig into all of the show's big ideas and filmmaking technique, to say nothing of its delicious character drama.

Good article, also introduced our group to Budding, so we're going to have to try that later. :)

I love being freed from tedious tasks, but for so many tasks, the tedium IS the task, because the tedium leads to understanding the material. The focus on product without understanding is tripping up a lot of workers rn, but especially younger ones.

Hey, congrats! Not surprised; it's a great book and we've been selling a lot at our bookstore. (Some enthusiastic staff promotion doesn't hurt :)
