Ive fallen into the habit of scanning my friends homes and apartments for hidden painted-over vintage plant hooks and being like, thats a nice attachment point you got there, itd be a shame if someone DIDNT bring you a macrame to hang from it….

Its also a great way to get rid of my spider plants

All of the STEAM curriculum i create is open source and i share it freely and widely! Im on my phone so I cant access my work google drive easily right now but if youre interested in the instructions and guide for this project let me know!

I also have had kids really get interested in using their new skills to modify and mend their clothing and get passionate about combating fast fashion. And this is all on top of them learning about microbial ecology, metabolism, and diversity, which we don’t have a lot of time for in class otherwise

But more importantly, the hands-on and creative experience really ends up resonating with many kids in unexpected ways. One of the first years I did it, one kid asked his abuela for help and they ended up really connecting over it and her experience with Mexican embroidery.

I once embroidered a jacket that I calculated would cost like $500 just for the cost of work alone. I was like, "...Nah, ill just give it to my stepdaughter when im done with wearing it."

The first time I ever cooked real food by myself I was 21 and at a backpacker hostel in Sydney, in 2004. we got some chicken breasts to sear and have with basic pasta, and we were so scared of undercooking it we musta grilled the damn thing for 30 minutes 😂
