Goldenrods of Chicagoland
Even as your local goldenrod megafan, I have to admit that lot of goldenrods look alike. When I'm trying to ID them, it's hard to keep track of every trait. To keep track of them all, I put together t...

We also remember that slavery in its many forms continues to be waged on racialized bodies, Black & Brown, here on this land and world over. Trafficking and slavery driven by the machines of wannabe imperials & greedy industry. Slavers remain unapologetic. We seek a future free of all slavery!

Lunch break bird photo! On Sunday at dawn, I was lying on the beach to get eye level with a Piping Plover. Picture me taking 100s of pics as Sea Rocket skittered closer & closer to where our group were all frozen in belly flops. Until this! You can see what she's eating! Sorry, ladybugs. #birds 🧵
Photo of a tiny Piping Plover bent over with her bill just an inch above the smooth wet sand of a dawn-lit beach as she picks at tiny red-orange things that turn out to be dozens of dead ladybugs littering the sand.

"How many students, for example, were rendered callous to ideas, and how many lost the impetus to learn because of the way in which learning was experienced by them?...How many came to associate the learning process with ennui and boredom?... How many came to associate books with dull drudgery...?"
It is a great mistake to suppose, even tacitly, that the traditional schoolroom is not a place in which peoples had experiences. Yet this is tacitly assumed when progressive education as a plan of learning by experience is placed in sharp opposition to the old. The proper line of attack is that the experiences which were had, by pupils and teachers alike, were largely of a wrong kind. How many students, for example, were rendered callous to ideas, and how many lost the impetus to learn because of the way in which learning was experienced by them? How many acquired special skills by means of automatic drill so that their power of judgment and capacity to act intelligently in new situations is limited? How many came to associate the learning process with ennui and boredom? How many found what they did learn so foreign to the situations of life outside the school as to give them no power of control over the latter? How many came to associate books with dull drudgery, so that they were conditioned to all but flashy reading matter?

Named for the (non-brooding) male’s plumage, so not the name one might expect when seeing a female. This is a Red-winged Blackbird, her plumage beautifully camouflaged for brooding unseen on her nest. Still colorful undertones shine through her face. Could be named Sunset-faced Blackbird, Oankaree
