Sometimes, what you think is the end is just the world asking you to start againโ€”smarter, calmer, and with a quieter kind of strength.

On the beach at Whitley Bay in the UK.

On the beach at Whitley Bay in the UK.

Golden sun sinks low, waves sigh and gleam.
Footprints fade in a copper dream.
The sea whispers secrets soft and deep.
While shadows stretch and seagulls sleep.
A quiet hush as the day grows small.
Two souls, one sky, and the oceanโ€™s call.

Gorgeous spotlight illuminates the majestic Cuernos del Paine in Chile's Torres del Paine National Park. The constant interplay of cloud formations & light make photography so special in Patagonia!

Amazon cuts 14,000 jobs, blames AI And itโ€™s not done.

the last round of brutal layoffs were blamed on "inflation," (corporate pandemic price gouging)

Halloween isnโ€™t just for kidsโ€”itโ€™s for anyone who craves imagination, play, and connection. It lets us face fear safely, express ourselves freely, and share joy across generations. The need for wonder doesnโ€™t fade with ageโ€”it just changes costume.

An American Bullfrog sitting in an algae covered pond. The Bullfrog is in profile, its back submerged, facing to the left. The back is mottled green and black textured skin. The front half of the frog is green and smooth, with a white throat, and gold eyes. A partial reflection can be seen in the water.

Apparently, the #EastCoastKin folks have a theme for today, #ColorADay #GreenSat. This American Bullfrog fits the bill nicely.

1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv.

There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.

Even the worn and weathered stand tall beneath the setting sun. Time may carve its lines upon your face, but endurance carves its meaning into your soul. Keep watching the horizonโ€”your purpose is not to fade, but to bear witness and endure.

โ€œLines of Lifeโ€ โ€” Every stroke tells a story. From rough sketches to refined forms, each line holds courage, correction, and growth. Art mirrors life: imperfect, evolving, and human. The marks we make arenโ€™t flaws โ€” theyโ€™re proof we dared to become. #CSP #DailyDrawing

A casual office outfit isnโ€™t about looking โ€œput togetherโ€ โ€” itโ€™s about calm confidence. Quiet armor. A crisp shirt, structured jacket, and comfortable shoes show balance: professional yet human. Dress like you respect your craft, not just the dress code.

Actionable Ways to Use KWL in Your Conversations

1. Start with common ground (Know).
Before you speak, quickly recall what you know about the other person โ€” their role, interests, or recent events. This primes your conversation for warmth and relevance.

2. Ask open-ended questions (Want to know).
Swap yes/no queries for ones that encourage elaboration:
Instead of โ€œDid you like the event?โ€ โ†’ try โ€œWhat stood out to you about the event?โ€

3. Listen actively and acknowledge.
Show engagement with small affirmations (โ€œThatโ€™s interesting,โ€ โ€œI hadnโ€™t thought of it that wayโ€) and follow-up questions that build on whatโ€™s been shared.

4. Share thoughtfully, not excessively.
Balance curiosity with reciprocity. Respond to what they say by adding your own story or perspective that complements theirs โ€” a conversational give-and-take.

5. Remember and revisit what you learn.
Take mental (or even written) notes of key details โ€” names, hobbies, or milestones โ€” and refer to them later. A simple callback in your next chat can make someone feel truly valued.

The KWL method isnโ€™t just for classroomsโ€”itโ€™s a mindset for connection. Start with what you know, ask what you want to know, and reflect on what youโ€™ve learned. Whether youโ€™re teaching, leading, or just talking, curiosity turns small talk into meaningful dialogue.

Bringing value means making things better because you were there. Donโ€™t just work hardโ€”create impact. Solve problems, lift others, and leave systems stronger. Evaluate your worth not by effort, but by the change that remains when youโ€™re gone.
