"The message is that you don’t have to avoid familiar alcohol brands to participate [in Dry Jan], you can embrace them: Hey, alcohol-avoiders, the beer, wine, and spirits industry has your back." @notrobwalker fastcompany.com/91012502/dry…

I'm a big fan of 'The Art of Noticing' Substack from @notrobwalker. This post makes me think about the 'craft questions' we might ask teachers. I like Twitter (still) b/c lots of educators explore these kinds of questions on here. But do most teachers? open.substack.com/pub/robwal…

Currently listening to Soviet Jazz session hosted by Mr Pedro on @NTSlive. His musical taste is wide ranging. What would happen if he & @feap got together for a playlist or show? Both remind me of @notrobwalker's piece How "Open-Eared" Are You? tinyurl.com/2s4cduky
