This week Liz is joined by Willie Carver, a poet, and the 2021 Kentucky Teacher of the Year to talk about writing as a way to unravel your personal truth and as a mechanism to clear your heart and

Paper is to news what vinyl is to music: an outdated medium decimated by its digital replacement. Except that vinyl records have finally found their niche, and sales are up again. Newspapers haven’t yet worked out how to deal with all the advertising money that has fled online, and are still in freefall. Compared to 20 years ago, there are now 3,000 fewer newspaper titles in the U.S. and 43,000 fewer newspaper journalists.

This book comes out shortly , and is a larger version of a small book that I've had for a while, which articulates Carlos Moreno' s idea of the 15 minute city, which is having a powerful effect in Paris, where the Mayor Anne Hidalgo has taken on board lots of the ideas.

The Hechinger Report

What makes a first-generation college student? Well, that depends on who’s doing the defining. Yes, there’s the federal definition: a student is first-generation if neither parent has a bachelor’s degree. Sounds simple enough. But it doesn’t account for those who had a highly educated parent who wasn’t involved in their lives, or those whose parent got a college degree in another country, with an academic system unlike ours, or those who have one degree-holding parent, but are being raised in a
