Ray Bradbury’s advice for being more creative
Every night read:
- one short story
- one poem
- one essay
Do that for a thousand nights and you’ll be stuffed full of ideas

Hey y’all, here’s the webinar where I said philanthropy has often become a hobby for the rich, and in saying so, according to some people, I unleashed #Donorgeddon. Please watch with full rage and zero critical analysis of systemic inequity

I will say this with absolute certainty: spending the first few classes pulling each student aside, talking to them individually, and getting to know them and their interests is the best “classroom management” hack there is.

The arts, public television, libraries, and museums all enrich the soul, educate the mind, and can open up a world of possibilities to young children. But Trump’s budget threatens to slash $897 million in funding for these programs — including completely defunding PBS and NPR.

The arts and cultural sector contributed $804.2 billion or 4.3 percent to the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2016. That's more than agriculture, transportation & construction. @NEAarts @BEA_News @Americans4Arts #TheArtsDriveTheEconomy
DYK that the average annual growth rate for arts + culture outperforms the growth rate of the total US economy? Learn more in the latest report of the Arts + Cultural Production Satellite Account from @BEA_News + @NEAarts! go.usa.gov/xEMCF

On the #FirstDayofSpring, I started following @DevinCow.
Also, remember when @DevinNunes created a fake media website called "The Californian Republican"? I do, because it attacked me. I found that funny. But apparently Rep Nunes can't handle being criticized. Lighten up, dude.
