Some digital hand lettering swooping out into extruded 3D shapes from the right to left and angled down a bit. It’s colored in very mites tones of grayish-blueish-pinkish with some faint yellow glow behind. Of course it reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Frozen lake champlain with people walking on it and the Adirondacks in the distance

So cool to walk out on the frozen lake today!

A digital illustration of five cans conversation hearts. Not the really cruddy chalky ones but the better ones with nice raised lettering. They are in five different pastel colors (pink, green, yellow, purple, red) and have one word each on them reading ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN 2DAY’

What is something good that happened to you/around you this week, even if it was really small?

A medieval illustration of a hedgehog with grapes skewered on its spines

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

I'm just going to say a thing.

What a person looks like is not reflective of their soul. Insulting the appearance of bad people who do bad things as an outcome or indication of their rotten hearts perpetuates the notion that conventional beauty = virtue, a myth that's led to untold human damage.

Yesterday I observed a second grade classroom as part of some consulting work I'm doing. I was really reminded of how incredible it is to watch teachers' brains process about eleventy billion different inputs at the same time. It's the same feeling you get watching the Olympics - master of the craft

I'm aware this is an unpopular opinion but I was never convinced by Chidi and Eleanor. It just didn't feel real to me.

How much do they get to practice on this specific run before the actual event?

Super odd choice, the skiing is enough drama on its own without that!

Lol it's so funny they're monitoring the heart rate of the spouses. Weird.

I'm obsessed with this Georgian skater's music

Been thinking of you.

20% of the students at Justice Page Middle School in SW Minneapolis are attending remotely b/c they're terrified to leave their homes. Their families can't work & rent is past due.

Parents at Justice Page are trying to raise 100k to cover the needs of 50+ families — can we raise 10k of it?

This contains the sentence: "When we ask for news, we should expect generative AI tools to stick to the facts." No, we shouldn't!!! It's such a (maybe intentional?) failure of educating the public that anyone would expect that from gen AI!! That's not what it does or is designed to do!!!

When I interviewed & wrote about incarcerated teen girls, I specifically used the language of girls as a rejection of the prison & people within who offered referred to them as young women or ladies. People with power will always describe girls as adults so they can justify the harm they inflict.
