Saint Louis Public Schools weighs a big shift: later school start times A district proposal could shift bell schedules as research ties later starts to better sleep, fewer tardies, and stronger academic outcomes.

"The question now isn’t whether later start times help—it’s whether communities are willing to act on the evidence.” #startschoollater #sleepmatters #ItCanBeDone #sleeppeeps www.stlmag.com/health/saint...

"By moving the high school start time later, we aren’t just giving our high school students a break. We’re giving them a fighting chance to succeed." – CCSD Superintendent Jhone M. Ebert #startschoollater #sleeppeeps #ItCanBeDone youtu.be/9cnF8Lszlxo?...

How long have we been saying this? But this exciting and novel analysis shows longstanding excuses that sleep-friendly school hours are too hard, too complicated, or too costly just lost a lot of ground.

It Can Be Done 🎙️ Episode 53 — “It Can Be Done” Guest: Hery “Eddie” Acosta | Author, Speaker, Youth Advocate Podcast: Resilient Voices & Beyond – A Healing-Centered Conversation Foster Healing Fellowship Capstone Series Episode Description: In this gripping and hope-filled episode titled “It Can Be Done,” host Michael D. Davis-Thomas sits down with author, speaker, and youth advocate Hery “Eddie” Acosta, whose life story is both testimony and blueprint. This is more than an interview—it’s a healing-centered conversation that exposes the cost of trauma, honors the grind of growth, and celebrates the sacred act of becoming whole. Eddie doesn’t sugarcoat survival. From being locked in a closet as a child to navigating cycles of generational pain, Eddie shares how he went from being misunderstood in classrooms to mentoring hundreds of teens every week through his groundbreaking work in Oregon. With 13+ years of hands-on experience in youth programs, Eddie is now the visionary behind Ohana Teen Night, where over 300 teens find refuge, belonging, and possibility every Friday night.  Together, Michael and Eddie explore: - Childhood trauma, behavioral stigma, and how schools often punish pain - Mindset shifts from “why me?” to “watch me” - The messy, nonlinear process of healing—and what real breakthrough looks like - The burden of navigating trauma in Black and Brown communities - What it means to become a diamond in the rough—and why pressure doesn’t always break us - The spiritual, emotional, and cultural power of having a therapist of color - Building youth programming that feels more like family than a facility This episode is part of Michael’s Foster Healing Leadership Fellowship Capstone: Resilient Voices & Beyond: Healing-Centered Conversations and Storytelling, and it holds true to its mission—honoring lived experience as sacred knowledge and creating space for authentic, heart-to-heart reflection. Whether you’re a young person currently in the struggle, a professional seeking to serve better, or someone carrying unspoken wounds of your own—Eddie’s story will remind you: It can be done.  📚 Grab Eddie’s Book: https://a.co/d/fGrhlhU 🌐 Connect with Eddie: Website: https://www.speechesbyeddie.com Instagram: | Facebook: https://www.facebook.com 🎧 Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, YouTube, and all major platforms. 📢 Support this Healing-Centered Work: Venmo: @MDDTSpeaks | CashApp: $MDDTSpeaksInc | PayPal: MDDT1 Email: for donations, sponsorships, or collaboration.

I watched the MAHA documentary and yes, while politically biased, the things RFK is planning to do around food makes a lot of sense. Why is people criticizing these? Are they backed by or lobbied by the mega corps affected by these decisions? #MAHA #removeallthetoxics #itcanbedone

Hear hear! Topography really has relatively little to do with building safe, human-focused infrastructure.

Smart micromobility infrastructure is popping up in many hilly cities: Salt Lake City, Montreal, Paris, Portland, Bogota, Mexico City, all cities with terrain.

I stopped shopping at Carrefour - my FAVOURITE supermarket, which stocks some products I can't find elsewhere (and at low prices!) - the day I discovered that it gives free boxes of products to Israeli soldiers engaged in the genocide. I'll never shop there again, ceasefire or not.
