I like playing with a pretty map on the table, so I've been testing out lots of ways of making this beautiful and functional. This is what I've settled on. A side: Big beautiful map. B side: Play aids and map-styled thread board. Now picture it in A1 size (my printer only goes up to A3)!

ADOBE: welcome to photoshop. what would you like to do. here is an AI tool ME: i would like to draw a rectangle. i am selecting the rectangle tool ADOBE: did you say AI? ME: rectangle please ADOBE: sorry but i can only do that in an insane way now. here is a new layer and a vector for some reason

Anyway, this is just a reminder to myself and other freelancers that sometimes passing on work is really "I can't give this the attention it genuinely deserves" and not "I never want to work with you again."

Thanks so much to @portablecity.bsky.social for being a great AD, here's one of two of the illustrations I did for Swords Without Master and you guys have no idea what cool shit you're in for. People have been cranking out the most gorgeous work for that thing

The @newyorker.com just published a really fascinating profile of Linda McMahon by @zhelfand.bsky.social, in which I'm cited and quoted a number of times Recommended:

First drafts are usually pretty bad. Editing is where the craft comes in, and you can learn that by joining critique groups and writers forums. Just write. Be brave. Do the thing despite the fear. The world will not end. You will not die. You're safe. Push your ego aside and enjoy the process.

“We must learn to live peacefully live the gentle dolphin” Marine Biologist: these species of dolphin are entirely covered in scars from fighting all day every day. They hunt sharks for fun and the juveniles get high off of puffer fish.

A difficult concept to navigate properly is that *testing* is itself a major problem in education (most exemplified by the No Child Left Behind testing regimes. This can mean that the very tests revealing declines in learning are themselves part of what is causing the decline.

You might think, “but how will we know if student outcomes are improving without testing?” and the answer is that we must support and then trust our teachers. Teachers spend their lives working with and understanding students. Many of these regimes emerged out of not trusting teachers.

Seeing all the different things schools are doing right now to motivate students to try their best on testing says a lot, I think, about how divorced they are from being meaningful for students.

Mike Miles was moonlighting: earning $190,000 over the past three years as a consultant for Third Future Schools (TFS), the Colorado-based charter school network he founded and previously led. This likely violated state law.
