industrial landscape-huge elevated rusted pipes

I am so excited to be at the most unique campus I have ever visited @UniversityofLuxembourg Belval for the Society for the History of Technology Meeting!

Woohoo! Excited to learn more about all the corn I seem to forever be driving thru! (and Brazil, which I aspire to visit as well!)

plz let me know what you find out in this front 🫣

In honor of National 4-H Week I present a couple of fair kids and some tired parents.

100% Hollywood leading man...but those pants 😍

as close to poetry as I get

The proliferation of middle school boys on e-bikes and one-wheels crusing too fast with fishing poles adds to the apocalyptic vibes as of late.

oh no!

when you put it that way...!

Country Roads tee

Summer finally feels over. I was too busy to post my "Eavesdropping on Rural America" series, but reading through my notes the best one was one of the first, way back on June 3, overheard in Highland, IL.

"I gotta get home, my "Old Country Road" tee shirt arrived from Temu today.

Similar story for US textile weaving in Georgia, South Carolina...often the entire mill operation hinged on a single person's know how...usually on how to thread a semi-trailer sized frame.

I agree 100%. Americans need to demand more...general decency? We were once proud of our pseudo public bathrooms and AC...which are starting to disappearor are going downhill quickly...atleast in the midwest 🫤

While the top 1% of academic salaries live and love all the bougie bougie...🙄

May I humbly recommend a good ole fashion felt board interpretive talk?

This would be an easy sell to the Landman writers room...

A beautiful, sobering piece for everyone beginning their syllabi and lesson plans for the fall...

IMO there is too much emphasis on answering questions, and not asking them in K-12 education.

I can think of about 101 worse ways to spend 2.4m. I'm excited to see how this goes-could be a powerful idea in rural communities too.

Agreed, great bus transport is common in so many other places. I think the "greatest gen" accepted buses as they aged out of long distance drives, and I'm curious to see if boomers
will follow suit. The memory of picking up my great aunt-high as a kite- at a Greyhound stop makes me laugh.

Glad you found a supportive public...dealing with the opposite here. 🥵

I think this disgusting rhetoric is yet another strategy to defund public education. As more families with neurodivergent kids are opting out/homeschooling-which the right wants -instead of facing the fact that all kids deserve an IEP, and public ed needs more 💵 to step up their game and provide it.

Woohoo! Still can't believe the serendipitous luck of finding a real deal commodity environmental historian in my neighborhood! Congratulations, Jeff and Tom! #bestadvisorever

Maybe I'm showin my age, but marketplace is the only good thing about FB left.

i like to feed my squirrels homegrown organic veggies, my kids prefer Culvers🤦‍♀️

LOL...reminds me of the time my Dad was in an Elena Ferrante book club...his takeaways
were, mmm, unique.

only to end up in a full time job that turns out is way more dangerous and where my health is constantly compromised without pto, fmla or workers comp options. Being a parent, especially a mom, is hard and hazardous. This is not discussed nearly enough.
