Stuff We Like :: 3.1.19
The magical union of science and art, objectivity in a post-truth world, Star Trek has seen the future, and more.
I’m in the middle of the spring issue, and there’s a lot of good stuff there!
WHAT’S HAPPENING AT HOME/SCHOOL/LIFE
on the blog: Our beat-the-midwinter-slump series is up!
in the store: You can download our reading guide for The Hate U Give for free right now! (It has one of my favorite wrap-up writing projects in it.)
on patreon: There’s a new episode of the Podcast with Suzanne and Amy. (We’re talking about middle school.)
from the archives: Planning your day around readalouds and a little winter homeschool flashback
LINKS I LIKED
I am not sure there is anything that has made me happier recently than these videos of people dancing their PhDs.
How cool is this crocheted skeleton?
Is it weird that I really enjoyed this piece about the history and influence of navy blue?
Sometimes when I think about the future, I feel so much hope — because of kids like these.
THINGS I DIDN’T KNOW BUT NOW I DO
Star Trek may be right about everything.
The Himalayan wolf may be distinct enough to be classified as a new species. (I’m totally sharing this with my evolution class.)
BOOKS ADDED TO MY TBR LIST THIS WEEK
Early Riser (I’m excited to see what Jasper Fforde is up to beyond Thursday Next)
The Feather Thief: Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century (no way could I resist that title)
WHAT’S MAKING ME HAPPY
rutabaga tacos! (I love rutabagas so much, and these are delicious.)
