The Maui Humane Society is calling for help: everyone there is safe, but they're now overrun with displaced and injured animals. If you're on the mainland, you can donate at their website.

@clacke @checkervest and they also have art class, where those muscles are being worked in some way. It's just not a huge focus now to write a lot on paper. It's more about thinking, I guess? Like, giving kids the tools to think, break complex ideas down and express their understanding. I do think it's working. There seems to be a lot of support/understanding within the classroom peer group and not much conflict/bullying.

@yukari well, I'm English with a Westcountry dialect, and no one would think I missed the train if I said I "just about caught the train" (especially if you flip it into dialogue, eg: "did you catch the train?" "Just about!") One of the things about the English language is that it often contain implications that don't make logical sense, but add up to a larger picture. The "just about" to me, implies a narrow margin of success. And the opposite of "just about" is "nearly".

Downtown looked magical this morning! #seattle #landscape #morningsky
