Beautifully written account of (in part) what we lose when we defund and devalue the humanities

christmas has gotten so far from its religious roots, wish we could celebrate our holidays like medieval christians (cross-dressing, being told by the bishop to stop cross-dressing, resolutely refusing to stop cross-dressing, threatening the bishop in defense of cross-dressing)

In my Motivation & Emotion class we set a goal for the semester & check in periodically as new material sheds light on how to progress.

One of my students just sent me a pic of their completed goal - a quilt from scratch - and their partner wearing it on a woods hike.

Never let me stop teaching πŸ’“

Please don't let the fear of not doing something well stop you from trying it for the first time. Write a messy story. Paint a crappy flower. Whittle the worst wooden bear of all time.

The best gift you can give yourself is to have fun and grow.
