When I greet nature as family,
a tree, a smudge of lichen,
the invisible complexity of the sky,
I feel a reciprocity of love.
When I reach for wonder as a receptive student,
I always find it reaching back.

There was poetry discourse this week, so thought I'd share this thing that popped into my head while I was sitting on the runway at DTW.

This is 100% the correct (and obvious) move by Dems and they need to do it Every. Single. Time: counter Republicans strongarming companies/schools by openly and directly saying "we will be in charge in like a year and will absolutely make this cost you."

Back on the graveyard shift, a group of Earthtongues (Geoglossum fallax) alongside a pair of Silky Pinkgills (Entoloma sericeum) - both part of the CHEGD group of fungi symbolising healthy grassland ecosystems.

It’s free unfortunately, in fact they got rid of late fees so it’s the most free it’s ever been

GET A LIBRARY CARD, Y'ALL!! It's not just books and movies; you can rent video games, consoles, tools (of all kinds), and other materials. Many libraries have maker labs with computers loaded with design software, audio and production equipment, and tools. Libraries are community centers!!
“I miss blockbuster video” the library has every dvd totally untouched and I never see you there

You may not need advanced maths or chemistry knowledge in your profession, but you WILL be encounter challenging problems outside your immediate field of study and be required to teach yourself enough about them to make a judgment. The hoops are the point. Life is full all hoops to jump.

As it turns out, the reason you have to learn things like balancing electrons has only a very little to do with chemistry. The curriculum is about learning how to solve a varied set of problems. Which, given your chosen major, is actually super important. Comp is similar to successful legal writing.

I'm sorry someone narrowed your potential for joy and curiosity so much that learning about poetry became a chore. Try to look at possibilities beyond the cynical hyper-capitalist present, and think of the things that have meaning in your humanity - friends, art, music etc. Education leads to more!

The purpose of an education is not merely job preparation, it is to help develop your mind and prepare you for taking on a variety of roles as an active, engaged part of your society
Is it too much to ask to get a criminal justice degree without having to also be required to spend $800 to balance chemical equations for some reason? The election valence of Mercury is irrelevant. It’s useful to someone, but it’s not useful to me.

if you have so little cognitive flexibility that you can't even approach these kinds of requirements with an open mind as to what it might bring to your future career in criminal justice, then uh..... well good luck when you get out into the real world

Counterpoint: My dad hired mathematicians to do reactor shielding design. He said the best candidates came from small liberal arts colleges, because they had a more-general education. The ones with more specialized educations couldn't find creative solutions or see defects in their own analyses.
