- Ok, Harvard - Are *you* bad at math or do you think a wage difference of $50,000 and $50,500 is life changing? There are reasons to be concerned about literacy/numeracy levels in the US, but the ability to make $500 more per year over a lifetime of work isn't it. news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

- Thought of you @heymrsbond.com and the very big job you step into everyday. "To name, to understand, to dignify and hold — these are the gifts of poetry, and these too are the antidotes to just about every form of fear."
- In this post @mrneibauer.bsky.social shares how forming caring relationships in his class are imprnt when welcoming new members.

- Midnight in Wisconsin... I *should* have been in bed but then I would have missed this! Moonlight, stars, sparkly snow... Taking the dog out one last time for bed worked out well last night!
- Just finished Kashana Cauley's The Payback. A book of its time in a way that is playful and so relevant. Loved it. I've got The Survivalists on hold at the library! #booksky
- I read a book yrs ago with 'lesser' superheroes. One of them was Professor Well Actually. The book was absurd but I find myself thinking about Professor Well Actually frequently while on social media. Nuance, difference, preference, choice... All valid but apparently not to the Well Actually crowd.
