<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>

Do I blame #monsterdon for the whole mess of short dreams that *all* had me missing busses and connections?

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.

@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).
