"The change was pushed by three new school board members, elected in May with support from Patriot Mobile, a self-described Christian cellphone carrier. Through its political action committee, Patriot Mobile poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into Texas school board races to promote candidates with conservative views on race, gender and sexuality — including on which books children can access at school."

'The seizure of Z-Library was the latest episode in an ongoing tussle between shadow libraries and state authorities. In 2015, when the academic publishing giant Elsevier took LibGen and Sci-Hub to court in the US, the sites were found to be in breach of copyright regulations and ordered to pay $15 million in damages (they didn’t). In 2020, Elsevier teamed up with Wiley and the American Chemical Society to sue the sites again, this time in Delhi; the case is ongoing, but seems likely to go the publishers’ way. Yet shadow libraries remain effectively impossible to prosecute, let alone abolish'

@alessa_ed I tried guided reading and BL but it wasn't working. On advice I changed my resources without realizing I was following SoR about five years ago when I started using a mumtisyllabic, phonemic/phonics program. The three cueing never made sense to me.My real awakening to the fact I'd made a switch came last October at a SoR conference by Deb Glaser. We've had NO direction from our school district leads on this.

Has anyone listened to #SoldAStory yet? It's in my #podcast queue, but I'm curious to hear opinions about it?

'After more research, Ms. Corless made the startling allegation that hundreds of children who had been in the care of Catholic nuns may be buried on the grounds of the old home in Tuam (pronounced Chewm), many in a disused sewage system. Her theory was widely dismissed until forensic archaeologists emerged from a test dig on the site with photographs of commingled juvenile bones.'

Here is a 1980 lecture given by Stephen King back when he was arguably at the height of his powers. The talk is so engaging and he is so natural, insightful, and funny.

Coming on Friday --- a more personal style blog post on www.crouchingpython.org. I'll be talking about my upcoming attempt at a LetsPlay Minecraft series on my YT channel. Some ruminations on learning in public, connections with students, and whether just goofing around can be a learning opportunity. Watch this space!
