CAREER + MONEY THINGS
Creative work is never competitive: I loved this comic. You can make a very fast pig indeed.
FUN THINGS
Salina Yoon’s Penguin book series is adorable
INTERESTING THINGS
Cloud does so much better at introspecting the parenting thing. Of course, I think she has better material to work with. LB still chews on hir toes so….
First decent example of Common Core math that I’ve come across. Put this way, my Grandma was doing CC math a century ago.
Peanut Corporation of America executives finally sentenced for their “role in knowingly selling Salmonella Typhimurium-tainted peanuts to food processing manufacturers” which sickened thousands and killed 9. This is a prime example of why I may be for smaller government in most things but I don’t believe in de-regulating the food industry. Our society prizes money above all and considers dead consumers an acceptable cost.

Man, I kind of want to be that kitten today! š
Thanks for the link to the common core article – that makes a lot of sense to me.

Thanks for the shout out!
We’ve been really happy with the common core math we see coming home in homework. I think it fell victim to partisan politics- from both sides. On the left, it got conflated with standardized testing. On the right, it ran afoul of people suspicious of any attempt by federal government to impose education standards- probably because they worry that this would be the end of the ridiculous local policies about (not) teaching evolution.
