Goddard College: The History of a Self-Sufficient, Anti-Fascist Institution, Teen Vogue
I hadn’t even heard of Goddard until a friend from the garden’s early days shared this article, having attended the school. This gave me some perspective on starting the garden and how I feel like it is so so foundational to my being.Also this quote is a gem, “‘The thing about a radical learner-centered pedagogy is that there's no room for rigid ideologies, from the left or the right,’ says Lucinda Garthwaite. ‘So, when progressive pedagogy becomes a required ‘social justice’ pedagogy, I think there's trouble.’”
ALSO ALSO “‘A unique thing happens when you fully commit to an idea and you’re surrounded by others who make that same commitment,’ notes Hale. ‘There are tight bonds formed that you don’t see in the rest of the world, because you’re committing to yourself and your craft, and you’re committing to better lives for everyone, not to personal accomplishment.’”

Making New Art with No Research
Research is the number one deterrent when it comes to making art, because it’s the fastest way to see if what you want to make “has been done before” (that’s in air-quotes because we all know deep down that NOTHING has been done the same way that we’re doing it). Imagine the art that would flow out of you without any sort of “but what will THEY think of it” hang-ups. That’s really what we all want to see, right? We want to see the most surprising, most vulnerable, most specific-to-your-mind-right-now type shit. The more you care about that one person that kinda did something sorta like it one time, the less you’re gonna make anything. You can always research after the fact, if you’re really hung up on it… but at least you will have made something! Making things feels amazing.

Libraries Can Unite a Lonely, Divided Nation, Bloomberg City Lab
Could this analogy be made for a public media company ? Select quotes:
Libraries are so much more than storehouses for books. They are crucial pieces of social infrastructure. When we talk about infrastructure, we typically mean the built structures and utilities — like roads, bridges, subways and sewer systems — that underpin our communities.

Marketers are the hypemen of business
Music writer Mickey Hess expands the term as follows: "a hype man is a figure who plays a central but supporting role within a group, making his own interventions, generally aimed at hyping up the crowd while also drawing attention to the words of the MC"
