Money

xkcd dove into money in 2011 and this was the result:

Race/Equity/Inclusion

Consent

(I think this is a British version of a video made by Blue Seat Studios and it just seems better with the accent for whatever reason)

Apologizing

"When I find myself in tough conversations,

when I am being held accountable,

when I am called to unlearn, relearn, or just learn —

This is my mantra."

Emotional Literacy - – being able to recognize, name, and understand our feelings

RULER Approach - Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence

Attending a RULER training is the first step for schools (preK-12) looking to implement RULER. Our training institutes focus on building a growth mindset and common language around emotions, skill development in emotional intelligence, and the building and sustaining of positive social and emotional climates where all stakeholders in the school feel empowered to learn, work, and achieve.

Ray Dalio’s understanding of the global balance of power.

He has a book “Principles”, a free app with the content of the book, and is currently writing a series of essays about the rise and fall of empires, all of which can be found on his website:

Principles by Ray Dalio

In 'Principles,' investor and entrepreneur Ray Dalio shares his approach to life and management, which he believes anyone can use to make themselves more successful.

People are often very bad at recognizing and rewarding the things that make their life better.

All the way from recognizing the way that infrastructure like interstate highways allows for access to goods, to the effort their parents put into trying to make them feel loved and supported, or the way their secretary comes in early or a skilled coworker doesn’t draw attention because they’re smoothly handling problems that come up, or the value they get from a powerful laptop with good internet or from eating a healthy diet.

There’s even a problem where people don’t value the work you do if your skill level makes it look effortless. (e.g. a locksmith being tipped better as a n00b vs later when he unlocked the door much faster for the customer after years of honing his craft)

(What might this mean for work that is meant to be done in a way that looks effortless, e.g. women’s work?)

Bill Wurtz's "history of the entire world, i guess"

(he's not usually dealing in education, but he initially did something like this for Japan and it was so well-received that he made this one)

Some people are really trying to figure out how the world works:

What the World Eats - Families with their weekly stash of food.

American photographer Peter Menzel and writer Faith D’Aluisio have traveled the world documenting that most basic of human behaviors—what we eat. They have published a bunch of award-winning books, but this is just a small photo gallery from their project, “Hungry Planet,” which depicts everything that an average family consumes in a given week—and what it costs.

Pottery

I did a fun “date night” pottery class and watched these videos in advance to get a basic understanding of what I’d be encountering. Also maybe worth checking out The Great Pottery Throwdown (a British show that HBO Max picked up). A good friend took a pottery class at the UofM and continuously struggled with centering her clay, ultimately deciding that hand building is the way to go, even for things like vases 😅
