<p>I'm at Parkland College (for a few decades) helping folks navigate developmental courses/placements (but fighting the "hey, 5% of these folks could pass college so we should just get rid of developmental teaching" trends) dreaming of structured paths for building understanding *and* fluency instead of "I don't have time to teach you, here's a calculator."<br /> See <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jvTlNmNI7nC9xMrVp2cc3d5RjWnpho0exwA_t86eWbI/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">docs.google.com/document/d/1jv</span><span class="invisible">TlNmNI7nC9xMrVp2cc3d5RjWnpho0exwA_t86eWbI/edit?usp=sharing</span></a></p>

OK #monsterdon, when do you actually start? BEcause it *seems* it will start in a few minutes so I'd have time to find it and figue it out but looking at the hashtag it looks like people are watching already.

#bikeNite #bikeTooter Not working today but we just had a cloudburst. So I have a question for whenever: has anybody turned an old bike into a lawn ornament? I saw one that has the house number on it prominently and others with assorted flowers. I have limited craft abilities/ resources but sometimes that means I think of things others wouldn't :P I can't remember what I did w/ front wheel w/ dynamo hub (need to make sure it's not just Put SOmewhere but I hope I don...

I rode my bike in the nasty malls and parking lots and hotels part of town to go to Costco and Lowe's. Twice I was hailed by folks from the college ;) the second one helped me figure out which parking lot would get me to Lowe's. And the hails were connected hails. "Where's your water????" with a laugh.... and "You're supposed to be at Parkland" also laughing. Little connections are a delight.

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt I've often figured there are serious downsides to the anonymity of blood sources. I mean, my blood might help people more than others' (yea, I'm a teacher-type and ... I don't get sick).

@fluffy@plush.city Birds don't have bladders. Why should they try to fly and hold a mess of water? There is no decision to poop; it just comes out.

@inthehands We had alerts here in CHampaign-Urbana. The sheriff declared that oh, they understood how we might think it was immigration but it was feds and the FBI aand some other enforcement entity, and something about hotels being right on the interstate here. People had been asking where the info was coming from and I reckon many of us were thinking somebody leakig things but that made me realize that the info could *easily* come from hotel staff who book rooms. We had 2 tornado wa...

@ra6bit I remember one Thanksgiving when my family was temporarily dysfunctional and what a relief it was to go back to college. I finally had a small taste of what some of my friends felt like.

@chu That's my typical life. It *is* worth saying "try it for a week" -- but adding: and *look for other ways to meet your needs,* as opposed to just postponing those activities. HOWEVER, I'm in a University town. It's not an *anything* desert esp. since we're getting a lot of rain this week.I'm less than a mile from Common Ground Food Co-op so I can even get locally grown food.

@ferrix@mastodon.online @dansinker@omfg.town I am afraid that .... yes, it really is that awful. They are feeding a hunger (not a need; they could change their diets and get satisfied and oh, that's how my prayers are directed).
