Good Things Friday (208) and Link Love
February 17, 2023
1. Bethel Friends of Canines is a non-profit dog rescue based in the rural Alaskan village of Bethel.
2. Apparently I have taught Smol most of the alphabet? We trace the letters in a lot of books when we’re reading. The teacher was surprised and told PiC she thinks they know almost all the letters now.
3. Donors Choose projects for classrooms with a high ratio of low income students:
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (I’m not a big sports fan, I enjoy most sports about the same. This was a lovely article): What I Think About LeBron Breaking My NBA Scoring Record
How We Made It Through the Pandemic: God this brings back a lot of memories. We still have our giant calendars of coping on the wall, updated monthly.
The Life-Changing Magic of Understanding Subtext on the Internet (I’m super over people being outraged about Marie Kondo. She never made anyone do anything, FFS. She made some suggestions and then the racism just took off.)
An article from last year that I missed. I don’t understand why the judge shot down the request for restitution, surely he owes a great deal more than $250,000 for his actions (I’d argue he owes that to the former students more than the school): Temple’s former business school dean was sentenced to 14 months in rankings scandal fraud.Four dead seals test positive for bird flu in Scotland
I’m gonna miss @gradydoc / Dr Manning’s tweet threads a whole lot when Twitter dies
Loving the Abdul-Jabbar essay, and also the doc twitter thread. What a great combination of humility and humanity in both of those!
