“But maybe he wasn’t looking back at all. Maybe time bent and undulated around him, like the flight of a woodpecker, and he gazed momentarily into his future—into an extension of the natural world he knew so well.” @debwerrlein in @PitheadChapel pitheadchapel.com/red-hat/

So I make myself a cheat sheet at the beginning of every year with the names of all of my students with IEPs and what their basic accommodations are. It takes about an hour to make the sheet and less than a minute to consult it when I need it.

In flash the meditative comes after the end, after we’ve been presented with all of the evidence of the story, when our inferences and judgments accumulated, and all of the implications by the writer have been processed by the reader. #flashwritingtips

An element of academia which continues to floor me is that three people in a department can teach the same amount of classes, but one person makes 100k+, another makes 45k, and another makes 18k...and students have zero awareness of this difference.

The National Book Awards has politely fired Drew Barrymore as this year’s host.

Loved @WendyBeselHahn's piece in @HuffPost. This is the stuff of real parenting: "As his 51-year-old mother, I’m painfully aware that my son is merely six years away from having more rights in America than I do." huffpost.com/entry/barbie-mo… via @HuffPost
I Took My 15‑Year-Old Son To See ‘Barbie’ Because Of 1 Big Concern. Here’s How It Went.

Right now: Barricades are up around the Supreme Court building, just minutes after reports from Politico were leaked indicating SCOTUS has voted to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The barricades around the U.S. Supreme Court building have been up since at least April 26, 2022, likely in response to the self-immolation of an environmental activist on Earth Day. gettyimages.com/detail/news-ph… gettyimages.com/detail/news-ph… nytimes.com/2022/04/24/us/…
