Light posting, spent the week on the West Coast. Saw a Neil Young and Stephen Stills show that was pretty special. And spent a few days with the BARR Center at their conference. It’s such a high energy and hopeful event each year. WonkyFolk Jed Wallace and I released another WonkyFolk. We ask why after …

Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Today, reader reactions to two recent posts, a couple of items not by me you may have missed, and a serious fish. Some selected reactions to the recent post on funders and risk. A few funders wrote to say, ‘hey we’re doing this!’ A few shared interesting examples of different kinds …
Thank a veteran – and their family – today. I don’t have a lot for you on the election – they’re still counting in some key races. But it’s close. Given all the ways they had to win a slight Senate majority, the most surprising thing to me is the position the Republicans are in …

I am really behind on the fish pics and have a great stockpile. Today, since it’s unofficially summer everywhere, here’s a family fishing one. This is Bellwether Partner Katie Rouse and her kids Ali and Harry in Islamorada, Florida. Down in the keys. A great sport fishing destination and place to spend time. Friday …
It’s SEL Week here at Eduwonk! On Wednesday we talked about how SEL is not inherently crazy political and to the extent people try to make it that way SEL leaders should push back. Today, there is a new essay from Panic at the Pondiscio arguing SEL is not a Trojan Horse for CRT while …
Melody Schopp is a terrific person in our sector. Smart, committed, fun to work with. She’s done a bunch of things. And, you know what’s coming, she enjoys fishing! We’ve talked previously about her hunting adjacent work. I am out fishing myself, so that’s it for content this week. If you choose, you can peruse this …
It’s cold in the east, so here’s a warm weather picture from Texas. James Willcox and his daughter, Madison, in Corpus Christi. James is not a rookie. His mom, who is better at fishing than you are, used to be a regular around here. And he checks in from time to time. A new reader reached …
