Did you see this bullshit about 86 democrats in support of a bill that "denounces socialism in all of its forms?
Did that include corporate subsidies for the energy industry and agriculture? How about social security and medicare?

First stop, a fall morning on Lake Montebello with Luna and Jarabe de Palo.

Senator Bill Ferguson has lost his credibility as a progressive.
He's been bought - we can see it in his campaign finance records and in his policy.
I know from personal experience that Bill isn't just cruel in his policy, he is cruel in how he treats "subordinates."

People are incredibly complex:
Take me for example
I was identified as a "gifted" person around 2nd grade.
Guess how many teachers ever saw my full skill set on display?
About 10%...
I suspect this is true of most children:
They don't feel related to, so they don't show up 100% cognitively!

My family and I were playing this game we just purchased called, "The Dog's Best Friend." I was skeptical that it might just be a gimmick, but we had a lot of fun and probably burned a few extra calories.

The flame IS intrinsic motivation. The flame is a product of the environment. We cultivate the flame when we support autonomy, belonging, and competence throughout the school day, and move away from traditional notions of rewards and punishments. youtu.be/id2EoacnA0M

I'm talking about engagement and motivation from the perspective of an educator, but this applies to community organizers, political leaders, and probably all humans... We can engage one another when we support autonomy, belonging, and competence.

At Councilman Conways campaign launch in congressional primary. Great to meet him in person and get a pulse on his vibes. He’s a chill dude, who I sincerely believe wants to represent all of Baltimore. I could tell he was present with me & you don't always feel that way talking to elected officials.

People called me arrogant, cold, annoying, childish, awkward, clueless, sensitive, and weird throughout my life. Thanks to my autism diagnosis I've learned that I am actually confident, principled, independent, analytical, outspoken, curious, authentic, reflective, compassionate, and unconventional.
