Start Often Finish rArely
Now get out there and start doing stuff! And then stop doing stuff, so you can do more stuff! Do as much stuff as possible! Never stop doing stuff! Always stop doing stuff!
Been thinking about this a lot since I read it on Metafilter. In completely related news, I started learning Korean today. The Korean boys in my class were eager to help me. I can now write banana, mum and dad!
Onwards! Or not!
Been looking at using https://omg.lol as a kind of landing page (which is the right name for what I want).
Teachers consider rapid, non-stop decisions as simply part of their job not fully realizing that their instantaneous decision-making compares nicely to expert jazz musicians and professional basketball rebounders.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I’m interested in a home page with some words, links to all my posts and other pages, and my most recent entries. However, I’m not really sure where to start with doing that. Can I just use micro.blog. Thanks!
The Whippet #178: Somebody better say something about the moon
So what I learned in school is that the Moon was created when another planet crashed into it (a glancing blow) and knocked off a bunch of rock that formed into the Moon.
But no! The planet (named Theia because that’s the mother of the Moon in Greek mythology) crashed head-on into Earth and broke through the crust and into the core. Where it still is.
They key takeaway here is that we should view retrieval as a learning event. Retrieval practice is not so much about testing whether someone knows something but rather a core part of actually learning that something, a process which occurs across time and space.
I have a strong dislike for Twitter threads, especially ones with information that I find useful. If only there was a better way to share words online?!
After living in China for 12 years, I’ve just come to love the food. I mean, it’s true that there’s things that I don’t like but generally, the food is just so good. Living where we do, we eat a lot of spicy food. A. Lot. So I was pleased yesterday when a friend made me 蒜泥白肉，thin sliced pork, served cold, with beansprouts, garlic and chilli. So. So. Good.
A friend of a friend got me the staff jumper from the delicious tomato soup hot pot place.

She doesn’t grow plants.
The plants grow themselves.
Her job is to create conditions for the plants to grow.
