THANK YOU to @soljourno.bsky.social for spreading the word about Edgar, other college students experiencing homelessness, & the innovative programs designed to ease their burden, at least a little, right away. And kudos to my editors @theguardian.com & @hechingerreport.org! Links in the comments.

Measles cases, by week, since 2022. “Measles cases in week 3 of 2026 were … the highest … for a single week in decades…. This single week in 2026 saw more cases than the yearly total in all but 5 years since 2000…. We are … likely to see more hospitalizations & deaths.” Emily Oster for Parent Data

Not a single child was dribbling a ball, hanging off the monkey bars, or riding a scooter around this playground on Saturday. Why? Because it was barred and locked. It appears San Francisco quietly jettisoned its Shared Schoolyard Project as of July 1. Please let @sfgov.sf.gov know you care. 1/2

My 10-yr-old noticed that the pull-out cards in Sports Illustrated Kids include weights for male athletes but not female ones. She said, “It’s not fair.” Me: “Tell me more.” Her: “If you don’t want to be mean by asking someone their weight then just don’t ask anyone.” @sportsillustrated.bsky.social

Witnessing Amy Sherald’s work at SFMOMA was a true blessing, and I choose those words with the utmost care. See the exhibition at the Whitney in NYC. Google it. FaceTime me, and I’ll flip through the coffee-table book. Just do whatever you can to experience it. “American Sublime” indeed.

All the NIH news made me scared for my sister’s career so I got out my colored pencils and stapler.

How do you know you might be writing’s GOAT? When byline, headline, and subject line are identical.
