Bring the cyclist safety stop (i.e. the Idaho Stop) to Illinois. It takes a brief moment to contact your state rep and express your support for it. The evidence is impressive: 14.5-23% drop in cycling accidents in states where this has already been legalized. activetrans.org/blog/safety-...

Donald Trump ended the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program last year. Tonight, as we have been doing since, the State of Illinois is stepping in where the federal government has failed our schools. I’m recognizing 28 schools as the 2026 Governor’s Blue Ribbon Schools.

Governor Pritzker meets with teachers and administrators.

A favorite photo from yesterday's evening walk.

It's night on a cold, wintry day. Several leafless trees mark the boundary between the gravel walking path and the frigid but calm water of Lake Michigan. The streetlamp cast the trees' shadows onto the snow dusted gravel path. The Chicago skyscrapers peak behind the distant treelike.

How lucky are we to hear from Andy Markus, our Education Support Professional of the Year? Andy so clearly demonstrates how custodial workers—and administrative staff, and bus drivers, and cafeteria workers—have a powerful role to play in the education of every child.

Teachers don't need more tech. They need smaller classes and more (paid) time for prep and instruction. But alas, the tech option means more profit for billionaires, while the latter would cost billionaires more in taxes. And so, in our current kleptocracy, tech is what teachers are going to get...

Everyone should be able to see themselves reflected in the books they read and feel comfortable about being the person they want to be. Find books in this list that reflect on the LGBTQ+ experience along with titles about pride, tolerance, and diversity:

Here's a picture of our snowy courtyard. It was from the first snowfall in Chicago a few days ago. It's so calming to watch and enjoy.

A picture of a U-shaped apartment building courtyard. Snow is falling and landing on the trees than make an awning over the walkway. Red berries are seen on the leafless tress. Large snowflakes fall and dot the image.

Fall break has begun and my dog has the right mood for it.

A brindle and white dog sleeping on a pillow. His tongue is sticking out. His back legs and tail are tucked under his front legs.

Making my own moss safari as inspired by @mosssafari.bsky.social! Collected some moss from around my school and letting it sit overnight. Had an initial look to see what was already there.
