  1. Invisibility is freedom.... If anyone comes sniffing around and wonders if this Internet stuff could be maybe dangerous, culturally subversive, it's oh, hey, never mind us. We're just goofing off here on the Web. No threat. Carry on. As you were. -- But we aren't just goofing off. We're organizing: building and extending the Net itself, crafting tools and communities, new ways of speaking, new ways of working, new ways of having fun. And all this is happening, has happened so far, without rules and laws, without managers and managed. It's self-organizing. People by the millions are discovering how to negotiate, cooperate, collaborate -- to create, to explore, to enjoy ourselves.

  2. History has to be rewritten in every generation because, although the past does not change, the present does; each generation asks new questions of the past, and finds new areas of sympathy as it re-lives different aspects of the experiences of its predecessors.

  5. In #Utah, physical/emotional/sexual abuse is killing our kids.

    However, #utpol thinks that same abuse is ideal for treating homeless and/or people struggling with addiction. They believe it so much, they're throwing money at it.

  7. [Excessive testing teaches students] that learning is a joyless succession of hoops through which they must jump, rather than a way of understanding and mastering the world. Every question has one right answer; the measure of a person is a number. Being insightful, or creative, or heaven forfend, counterintuitive counts for nothing.

    “A first for STATEMAP. 🗺️
    For the first time, a geologic map funded through the STATEMAP component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program was published in direct response to a Tribal Nation’s science needs.
    The Utah Geological Survey, in collaboration with the Navajo Nation, recently published the geologic map of the Oljeto 7.5-minute quadrangle in southeastern Utah.
    STATEMAP plays a critical role nationwide by matching federal funds with state geological surveys to produce high-priority geologic maps that address societal needs, from infrastructure planning and responsible land use to natural hazard mitigation and groundwater resource management.
    Geologic maps provide a foundational framework for understanding Earth’s resources and processes. Detailed mapping gives resource managers and other stakeholders the scientific information they need to make informed decisions about the land and resources they manage.
    For the Oljeto quadrangle, the mapping work supports Navajo Nation science needs by helping better understand the relationship between regional geology and groundwater resources.
    This collaboration demonstrates the value of STATEMAP in supporting high-priority mapping needs and building partnerships between state geological surveys and Tribal Nations…”

    “Funded through the STATEMAP component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP), this geologic mapping work supports Navajo Nation needs to better understand the relationship between regional geology and groundwater supply.
    An outcome of the geologic partnership between the Utah Geological Survey and the Navajo Nation, the benchmark Oljeto 7.5' quadrangle map is the first-ever publication funded under the STATEMAP component of the NCGMP in direct response to Tribal Nation science needs. This collaboration demonstrates a proven model for STATEMAP partners conducting geologic mapping work in areas of Tribal Nation interest…”
