cab.etc @cabetc.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The live show was a bolder, deeper version of what this album is: a cohesive piece of narrative art. It melded the best aspects of theater and live music (and, I'd argue, the cinematic approach of a music video) into something I couldn't tear my eyes away from. 040
cab.etc @cabetc.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Sometimes I think you can't tell I did six years of vocab classes and then I get quoted using the word "fruition" 010
cab.etc @cabetc.bsky.social · 09/09/2026It feels kind of inevitable in a tiered society that's ostensibly merit based, desire for children to move up in social class, but in a way that almost sidelines the kids themselves 010
cab.etc @cabetc.bsky.social · 09/09/2026And that exceptionalism, whether it becomes something the students have to work through as adults or something that they never outgrow, spending the rest of their lives believing God chose them to run for government and make evangelical ideals into laws, is probably not great for society in general 010
cab.etc @cabetc.bsky.social · 09/09/2026There are also similar values: parents and a minority of educators who believe they know better than broader, government groups what their students should learn. Imo, this is a rejection of society, to silo off your children from their peers 110
cab.etc @cabetc.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The distance between these students' experiences and "normal school" is something that they and others take pride in, but it also means they don't have a framework for what they might be missing out on that "normal school" students get. 100
cab.etc @cabetc.bsky.social · 09/09/2026This quote could have been taken verbatim from a talk at the Cinci homeschool convention I attended, yet it's likely from a student, parent, or admin at this alpha school: “your child isn’t learning anything at school, because their lessons are paced for the slowest kid in the room" 221
cab.etc @cabetc.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I was surprised to find in this essay about an expensive private school that focuses on AI echoes of the language used 15 to 20 years ago in the world of homeschool education I then inhabited. 110
cab.etc @cabetc.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Five and a half weeks until art crawl, I find myself in possession of an eight foot space. Wendell Berry, who was formative for me, has died. I have a wild hair to make art about it 000

cab.etc @cabetc.bsky.social · 22/06/2026It's mind-boggling how these can feel safe to the drivers. Even if you're not around pedestrians, that gigantic blind spot can hold so many hazards. And the A-pilllar blind spot makes such a difference. My 2005 4runner was so much better than new Chevys, and it still felt sketchy. 010
