Too many current events reminding me of the graduate Applied Ethics course I took on Happiness - easily the most depressing course I ever sat through as it involved learning about research showing how poor humans generally are in making decisions about wellbeing, their own or others’

Expected the Swiss to be stronger, just not quite this much so... This #Azzurri side still reaching for its identity, best line up, and more. #EURO2024

I’ve been hearing so much noise about age and very little about maturity. That’s telling not only for our politics, but even more so our culture, how we are (and aren’t) willing to dialogue at heart and soul levels with each other, with others, with our fearful, hurt, longing, complicated selves.

Personally I think tough friendlies like these are good. Yes, some difference in levels, but also I think clear gap in camp-mode to competition ready for #USMNT. Colombia hit 2 good (not unpreventable) goals out of the gate but US has made them make a couple tough saves too.

…unsurprisingly. There was a tremendous, weighty silence around his service. Although very patriotic, any Memorial Day celebration he remarked that he “was still trying to forget.” Remembering looks & feels differently for many people and we would do well to make space for that too

I only learned a few years ago that my maternal grandfather’s assignment during D-Day was to wait, then land with his unit after the battle had ended. Their task was to “bag & tag” the bodies and body parts of those who died & make a start of identifying remains. It haunted him…

The state of Florida prevented cities from lighting up their bridges in rainbow colors for Pride month. So people did it themselves anyway.

Sigh. Suspected an underdog victory would be too much to wish for - still deflating. #UCLfinal More than ready for some new narratives in club football.

And to make the announcement in the middle of a not insignificant rain shower is an advance nightmare - very odd on many levels although welcome I expect for many UK voters.

Not the foremost issue mind you, but curious about the campaign realities of calling an election for the middle of an international tournament. Seems July 4th date puts vote on the eve of #EURO2024 Quarterfinals. Odd vibes for a national team to be put into, England in particular

Harsh on Pochettino, as nearly everyone is saying. Have to trust he’ll land on his feet somewhere & hopefully be more appreciated. Hoped after the sale #CFC could find more stability but a long way off that yet it seems.

Started a two-day mosaic workshop today… much harder to cut glass precisely than I imagined. Still cool to learn more about different tools and materials. 5 more hours tomorrow to “finish” this starter design. Then grouting will be done at home later.

The profession says it values the learning relationship between faculty and students, and then proceeds to add distancing layers between that relationship year after year. These “innovations” don’t land for me as wise protections nor raised standards but rather as sorrowful veils

An disproportionate sadness coming in this morning as I read college email about the institution moving to an automated syllabus program… one more layer of tech that doesn’t seem to trust faculty or student intelligence or value individuality and humanness.

Doing my fitness walk in the park and a family insisted on sharing their #Eclipse2024 glasses. Very sweet actually. Not so many out looking here in central FL it seems - we’re at about 60% coverage I think but clear skies and it’s quite visible

There are a lot of problems that beset academia. This 👇 is one of the worst. How can we defend ourselves from the Rufos and DeSantises of the world when many of us can't even respect our colleagues enough to help equitably distribute labor?

This mentions DeSalvo's The Art of Slow Writing (which is 10 years old now and still very good) - Have long thought it is important to separate writing/making from the career track, although we are not great at supporting each other with that imho. themillions.com/2024/03/the-...

So... #USMNT v. Jamaica not off to the best start for the US, with a 1' goal for the Reggae Boyz. Attendance in Texas also seems quite poor for a competitive match (presumably crowd waiting to arrive for second semifinal of Mexico v. Panama).

Quite the story of Côte d'Ivoire winning #AFCON. And unless supporting Nigeria, hard to imagine not being happy for Haller. Credit to Emerse Faé for stepping in to manage mid-tourney in, shall we say, unusual circumstances.

No surprise but confirmation today. The comments misrepresenting long standing academic traditions the most disappointing perhaps www.tampabay.com/news/educati... For what it’s worth hearing many institutions plan to keep on keeping on with what they do as much as possible.

I was into dance as a girl and remember getting a ribbon stick (what they use in rhythmic gymnastics) around that age which I got quite a bit of mileage out of. There are toy versions as well as higher end ones for performing.
