ok tell me does this exist: a progressive, inclusive school, child-led, where parents (with DBS check) are allowed to come for part of the day, where the staff are throughly, profoundly trained in how to work with neurodivergent children?

and if it doesn't shall we start one?

Today we commemorate the 103rd anniversary of the Battle of Dumlupınar (30 August 1922), a defining moment in Turkish War of Independence. I honour with respect those who gave their lives and health for our homeland, & heroes who fought for freedom, led by Commander-in-Chief Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

A lot to be done but happy that I got to share it with the ESPAnet community 🫰🏼

So pleased with the feedback & recommendations. In this new work, I am exploring whether the childcare gap matters for maternal employment from a macro perspective using country-year panel data. Early findings suggest it matters for the intensity of employment rather than the overall choice of it.

Unsure if it’s due to my prior ignorance or if London’s trees are in exceptional bloom this summer. Full of fruits causally weighing down every corner, quite amazing, really

This fall, Searoad will be back in print! This series of interconnected short stories winds through the lives of members of a small coastal community over time.

Searoad will be available from the Library of America on October 7th.

Cover design and illustration by Kimberly Glyder.

The new cover for Searoad: Chronicles of Klatsand has a stylized design that suggests waves, sand, water, and mountains; streaks of shades of blue wrap around the title and author's name, and at the very bottom, a section of brown and green circles suggests perhaps a grassy beach.
