Great post Dr. A; TBH, I don't read every post, but I read every subject line and title. Some draw me in deeper, some don't. As I commented on @Jadrian's post, so much good content. I am stubborn, in that I refuse to listen to academic content. I prefer to read, on paper, but alas, tradeoffs. As a new blogger, I too worry about DMU, so for now I only post once a week as I find my voice, niche and audience. I find that the time I spend researching, reading, writing and revising The "Knotty" Economist to be my favorite non-classroom time. Thank you for your thoughtful posts and guidance. Looking forward to a bountiful 2026 for all, especially our students.

I will comment on those going forward! As a generally rule, I gravitate towards post that imply the importance of a human, in person, connection.

One of my resolutions for the fall is to set aside time to show up for others and make sure they know I'm listening and supporting them.

A great come back . Listening to you today made me remember the time when you were in high school and how much you enjoyed reading and teaching elementary school students.
