"Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos." The Earth slips behind the moon in an iPhone video taken by Reid Wiseman during NASA’s Artemis II mission, offering a view of just how small the Earth is on the grand scale. nyti.ms/4cjXSyA
AP should not count for college credit and we should have way better high school.
This worship of efficiency kills creativity. Every transcript I have, every piece of research, I go over again & again, looking for detail, pattern, illuminating anecdote. It’s not efficient. I flail sometimes! But it’s essential. It’s how I learn to tell the story to myself, so I can tell it to you
"Some humans (I think? Hard to tell) in masks and vests showed up this morning and took Manny and Kumal away. As you may have noticed, those two were the only staff—despite this place being open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m."
Groups of dudes who self-segregate & talk each other into believing that they are uniquely brilliant & everyone else just doesn't get it ... are responsible for some of history's most florid horrors.
In solidarity tonight with all the teachers who have been instructed to take action we know in our guts, hearts, and professional experience is wrong — and we do it, because heroics aren’t so advisable in 2025.
Might lose some sleep over it. But do it. Sometimes it’s a job, not a calling.
My goodness, this is a beautiful idea.

Update: I’ve scheduled my vaccine.
However, the day-to-day uncertainty of this is unnecessary and dehumanizing.

“Like a runaway train, the Republican Party is barreling toward a future in which posting is politics — or, the purest function of politics. It’s a grim, ugly and barren place. The future of the party is coming of age in this place, and its members are slowly being stripped of empathy.”
All of these posts are archived. How will historians process this when we’ve moved on to the next chapter? Or will the next chapter be worse because this administration has set a new normal?
Does ignoring the toxic, dehumanizing content being posted by the White House social media accounts lead to normalizing it?
What the Trump team is posting on official accounts would result in disciplinary action for school-sponsored high school groups.
Preventing any teacher or any frontline worker in any state who wants a COVID-19 vaccine from getting one is effectively criminal.

an era of breaking news reflects brokenness.
as a utility, we see it in infrastructure. but as humans, we see it around us in communities and relationships and trust.
no matter the system, mending requires investment—time, resources, attention.
when news breaks, may what’s broken be renewed.
I can’t figure out why so many people and organizations I respect are still posting updates on X.
a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

As promised this is shareable, printable - all from my site, feel free to make use of it, cite me & let me know how it’s received. Share away all here! spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-sy...
“…Otherwise, either they don’t believe AI is such a high priority or, worse, they believe it is but have no plan, other than punt the problem to shell-shocked teachers to deal with.”
“if schools think AI literacy is so vital for their students’ future, then schools should create and require classes dedicated to teaching those skills, similar to a typing course…”

Important observations here about crossing all the lines that should not be crossed.
“Giving lip service to these big ethical issues while hastily integrating AI sends kids a strong message — the adults don’t really care and neither should you.”

"And every Roomba turned toward Jerusalem."
This is—without a doubt—perfect.
“Perhaps years from now, in some faraway Delco Wawa, you’ll spot me throwing up outside in a plastic bag. And it’ll be fireworks all over again.”

Any K12 teacher in the U.S. would be fired for using the rhetoric the president used last night to kick off the country’s 250th anniversary.
That, I guess, is where we are.
As the dissents point out, the majority constantly contradicts its own recent decisions to fit the result they want. Ie: a HS football coach leading a Christian prayer does not violate other students religious rights, but a storybook with LGBT characters does. On some level they must know this.
