Very handsome 1yo with a very messy shirt

I did this with the other Alice x.com/mbateman/sta...

I think the elephant and the rider metaphor about our cognition is overblown and at the very least misleading.

Most of our lives, we implement decisions we made carefully - either as individuals or as societies.

We go to jobs we planned decades ago, on roads the government planned carefully, etc.

If you have a link or even a brand or manufacturer name lmk

Anyone have experience with inverter goggles? Of any of the Innsbruck Goggle Experiments types? (Make world appear upside down, etc.)

Would love to own a good set

Thanks just strafed through and added everyone I vaguely recognized

Just went through and followed like a hundred of your follows

I’m prob just following the wrong people but more than half my feed is still just meta commentary about bsky rather than object level poasts about stuff

Yes I’m aware this poast does not help

Rictus grin of the bless’d

It won’t work on Substack unless you talked them into allowing such customizations, which they aren’t likely to want to do given that they are trying to become a SM platform

This is a great topic of discussion for the pub or the classroom

Montessori school sent home this photo with the caption “Introduced hammering nails into a pumpkin” like that’s supposed to be somehow self-explanatory

Can the 3D printer go on the pegboard :)

These look great

Just watched 4yo assertively confront another 4yo on the playground to defend her 1yo brother

“You need to stop that right now. You cannot just take that toy from him.”

Was instant. Unblinking eye contact, aggressive posture, all up in other child’s face

Felt primal, atavistic

Yes

I miss academic twitter

And even the woke scolds. The optimal number of woke scolds is not zero

Trying to post at least one thing on all the apps (here, threads, Farcaster) every day or two

Need a twitter hedge at this point, and there are other reasons too… Twitter has the best network by far but the worst app product by far

lol. Lmao

Holy shit it’s nice to not have substack embeds throttled

A sensitive period for texting We gave our 4-year-old daughter a highly designed and enticing learning material, observed her using the material under conditions of freedom, and adjusted the material accordingly. The learning mater...

How I taught my 4yo how to read by (in part) setting her up to send text messages

Just remembered that this app is why I met @weisenthal.bsky.social and decided to check back in

Building a New Normal: The Montessori Adult

This talk by @matt.kitchen about creating "normal" people - people who have healthy, happy lives - people who learn and work and decide for themselves and care for others - is fantastic youtu.be/hCFH9MaRO4A?...
