From the article: "Named for the 2014 law that created them, the Achieving a Better Life Experience Act, ABLE accounts have been available since 2016 to individuals identified by a doctor as having a disability before the age of 26. Next year, they’ll become available to those identified before the age of 46, which will increase access to an additional 6 million people, including 1 million veterans, according to Indiana State Treasurer Daniel Elliott, who administers the accounts in his state. An estimated 8 million people nationwide already qualify."

In interviews in June 2020, when asked if she supported “defund the police,” #Harris focused on #PublicSafety.

“We need to reimagine how we are achieving public safety in America. To have cities where ⅓ of their entire budget is going to policing, but yet there is a dire need in those same cities for #MentalHealth resources, for #resources going into #PublicSchools, for resources going into #JobTraining & #JobCreation …We have to be honest about this.”

This morning, practicing transcription using Reagan's Challenger speech, I teared up. My senior year English class went outside to watch the Challenger launch. Then we watched it break apart. Reagan's final words: "We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God." #transcription #jobtraining

Parents, you should be concerned about this adaptation of our schools into job training centers.

Education does not exist to train workers or scholars. It exists to create better humans who then want to make a better future.

This a.m., I did a #transcript of Robert Kennedy's speech on the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. There was concern that the news would lead to a riot. The speech conveys a charge to emulate King. Kennedy also showed empathy, sharing his grief over his brother's assassination and quoting Aeschylus: “Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.” #BHM #jobtraining

4 [Of Many] Careers In GIS [ / Spatial Data] With Great Job Outlooks

[I am not associated with this university in any way, just thought that it was an informative article]
[My personal take is that unless you want specifically to be ‘Spatial Super Hero’ then pick a professional field that you appreciate & interests you - and then use GIS / spatial data skills to support that with your gained knowledge. Note that this field will almost certainly change over your career and that is A-OK; I started out as an engineering geologist, still keep my license current, then environmental scientist including nuclear site cleanups, and now work in the area of spatial data for hydrology, next is…]
