I found this article [link] to be enlightening. Also, depressing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thanks, guys. I won't fully feel free until I have an offer in hand, but this is an enormous weight lifted. It's gonna have interesting repercussions in the short term (I'll probably be pulled off testing after April, probably for a few months), but ultimately it is the right move for the institute and puts me where I want to be.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That first article makes me hate people so much.

I am confident you are not always disappointing people.
I concur.
I ran a literacy event at school today (and yesterday) My older students worked with the lower school kids to have a bunch of "booths" to support literacy. There was a book buffet of donated books and (leftover comics from comic book day). Anyhow, it was....overwhelming. All of the books had been picked over and there was nothing left on the table after 15 minutes -- we had probably over 500 books and 200 comic books. Some of the books were donated by teachers and included scintillating titles like Adaptive School Reform Handbook. The students come from such a print deprived environment that even those books were taken by elementary students.
I'm feeling just verklempt about it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wow, Kat, that's intense. I feel the need to donate a bunch of books to your school. I'm sure I can get a box of elementary school level books for your kids.
Congrats on getting rid of the CSWTF. Good bye and good riddance.
This Guardian article is so depressing. [link]
If you are ashamed to admit how you are voting out loud then you KNOW for a fact you shouldn't be voting that way

I'd love that! I am thinking of taking our Little Library and putting it downstairs. The bigs kids (middle and high school) are more jaded about books, but the littles? They need the books.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I concur.
Me too.
YAY GOOD BOOM!
I went and saw the new building again today. My conclusion: It's ugly.

And still has no space for the library?
