So, the Illustrative Math stint is done for now. I am hoping that they decide to do the more involved “support for a class” — but am honestly glad to have summer to keep going in my own directions. I found hashtag #indieweb on twitter full of people who use their own websites to share […]

So many powerful associations with that. Do I need rescue? Am I taking radical action for working people? Am I dancing ’round a maypole? Am I anticipating a month dedicated to the Blessed Mother?
