Hey @triangleblogblog.bsky.social FYI there’s a drinking water quality info meeting tomorrow night. It’s relevant to everyone on Chatham County/Pittsboro water. A new utility merger pulls Asheboro’s carcinogen waste (1,4-dioxane) into the pooled drinking water. www.hawriver.org/events/publi...

Bezos doesn’t need the WaPo to be a good business model. He’s so rich he can lose a billion dollars and not miss it. He just wants propaganda. Such a shame

SCAMS. No entomology degrees. No environmental toxicology expertise. Just poison. Actual poison.

I never understood until I went to Cornell and spend time around frat houses with bigger endowments than entire colleges. They will sell their wives before they turn on each other. They have so much dirt and dumb love for each other. Bad idea betting against Harvard alums fighting for Harvard.

Anyways my native plant garden is finally popping as it enters its fourth summer season. Last summer I had a newborn so I planted nothing. This summer I have a toddler, so I’ll just be moving seedlings of Stokes Aster and Little Bluestem and splitting existing plants to fill in gaps.

I look at my family. Not a person over 10 years old with a diagnosis but, uhhhhhhhhh, yeah. The special interests and social awkwardness are strong.

Harvard punched back and now they’re saying they didn’t really mean it. Punch harder Harvard. Harder.

Reading “A Wrinkle In Time” with my almost 10 year old. It just…it isn’t good compared to what’s out there now for tween fantasy books with a female protagonist.

Folks. This is the line that is being sold to K-12 educators. Just because generative AI is everywhere, it does not mean it’s ok. This is a massive problem in K-12 education. The work is all hunches and fuzzy and prickly feelings. No evidence. No research.

Me: “Generative AI is unethical and inherently plagiarism.” Someone else: “But this is the future. We need to get on board. Not all AI is cheating.” Me - The biggest loudest eyeroll

YOU GUYS. Beginning teacher salaries in 2014 were something like $30,800. The median home sale price in Chatham County is now over $700,000. “Teachers don’t do it for the money…” The hell they don’t.

Sigh. A reminder that teaching science literacy is a systemic, cultural battle and not isolated to a classroom
