Grateful for two opportunities this semester to talk about my work. In September I gave a webinar on the cultural nature of LD and literacy for the Colorado Department of Education, and in October I presented some research and facilitated an activity about community for my campus.

I can't help but find deep significance in the fact that it was the Guadalupe River that flooded. It's just a couple hours away from where my children love to meet their cousins for vacation. The Mother grieves, and I hope she begins her apparitions soon.

Serendipitous that my students read from Let This Radicalize You last week. I asked them what they found radical, and the most common answer was, “facts don’t sway people.” This coincided with the group chat story and all the subsequent lies.
