Let’s focus on designing experiences that put students at the center of the learning process and empower them to take ownership of their journey." —Educator Keri Skeeters

I’ve spent enough time listening to true crime podcasts to grow into someone who couldn’t care less about Ted Bundy but is genuinely curious and cares about victims of those violent crimes, often unidentified. Laurah Norton is a brilliant writer and has so much insight into this topic!

Retired (sometimes) and one of three Democrats in my small Alabama community. (If there are more they aren’t “out.”) Miss having like-minded folks to have an intelligent conversation with!

She has 2! One for fun–One Strange Thing. The other is true crime– well researched stories about the missing & unidentified, many from marginalized communities– The Fall Line. Some of the episodes there background the story told in her 2023 book, Lay Them to Rest. Proud dad! bsky.app/profile/leni...

We are about to be a part of the most vivid and vicious expression in modern times of the richest among us grabbing as much as they can for themselves, no matter how much pain they cause. Out of this must come a renewed and intensified opposition and commitment to the common good.
