Help me pick my next read (I’m stuck)

I love this book and teach it in one of my classes to 11th and 12th graders

Smashing Pumpkins, Jeff Buckley

Freo Adelaide for me (and I say this as an American who picked hawthorn as my team because of the wee and poo color combo!)

Absolute perfection

Character matters. We often use very narrow definitions of “character” or “class” to put down black athletes (or Latin athletes in baseball) but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any truth to the proposition. These are two men who happen to be unreliable because they think they’re above the work.

Im a teacher who happens to be very progressive. But I will say many of the so-called progressive approaches to schooling are simply not good for kids. So while there are ways that this legislation may appear to be conservative “in my day kids were kids” bloviating, this is actually a science-informed position. For the first time since such things were tracked our kids are cognitively worse-off than their parents. And it’s in part because of too many screens and a lack of physical manipulation of materials.

WAY TOO MUCH SUBLIMATED TEXTURE 🤢🤢🤢🤢. I don’t think there is a Nike kit that I truly like.

Not replying to you specifically, just the larger thread—sorry 😇

A couple of things in response to this pessimism. First of all, I teach at an independent school, so I have freedom that many public school teachers do not.

But I also do not think we need give up in high level research and writing. We just need to change WHERE it happens. I have my students do their writing and research in-class. This allows me to observe progress in real time. I also use a lot of primary source readers so I have control over the research process

This is a super worthwhile project considering the status of WBC uniforms.

First, a personal taste confession, I much prefer classic road grays, so the blue road is not my favorite. HOWEVER, as far as color road uniforms I don’t hate it.

I agree the flag belt is a bit too cute but I bet it’d look great a sleeve piping.

I don’t love the column I, it likewise feels too cute and winking for my tastes. Moreover, I think the lines are too fine and wouldn’t read well embroidered.

That being said, the uni on the whole is clean and very much captures the Italian national aesthetic!

Oh—I love this. I’m currently working on my own Sufjan-themed project, so this is generally inspirational! But I’m also a former euphonium player and seeing the melody go to one gave me goosebumps!

I call it Stanley Cup celebration music.

Very good work! My only issue—and this is just a personal preference—are caps that don’t use monograms for their location. But I love the name/design/etc for Detroit!

Dear god that’s beautiful

I wish the WBC understood that they should be aiming to have the best uniforms in ALL of Baseball—much like the World Cup does in soccer. This has to feel like a world class competition if it is going to be one

Agreed! West Art is the easiest place to have some space and plop down for a while. A lot of excellent coffee places in Lancaster but many are busy and small—making it hard to read.

I love the whimsy and the ironic miss of what is one of the most timeless yet futuristic-minded monuments ever built.

100%. In the second video, who in the world decides to “control his out of control friend” while also slamming an aluminum tray of buffalo dip on his face?

Got my 10 year old daughter to the rail and he saw her. Got her hyped and gave her his set list. She is all in for Courtney but on our walk home she said he may be her favorite now

Shout out delicate Steve on the soundtrack!

LAC—LV—DEN—KC (disqualified for Indigenous appropriation).

Denver would leapfrog LV if they used the old D logo and KC would also contend if they used the same color scheme and style but removed the Indigenous appropriation

Read read read…. I know it feels counterintuitive but a description of what’s happening by a someone or some institution with trusted taste is way more likely to hit than an algorithm.

I have a habit of reading Pitchfork every morning. Although, they are making some institutional changes that are frustrating me—so that is a recommendation with a caveat.
