The concept of education continues to evolve.
Not long ago, school was a place where kids learned reading, writing, math, science, and history.
Though courses at the college level broadened, they generally sprung from the above or focused on an employable skill.
These days, it seems, education is the process of acclimating to engineered cultural mores.
Furthermore, it’s a place of political and social consciousness.
The new staffer will be in charge of student environmental programs such as:
Wellness collaboration days
Meet-ups with Bay area QT+ (Queer, Transgender, Plus) and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People Of Color) climate activists
Climate healing circles

The 2021 legislative session has been memorable for Tarra Simmons.
When Simmons won a seat in the Washington House back in November, she was at home with her family, socially distanced due to COVID-19 an odd, “anticlimactic” way to learn she had been elected, becoming what’s believed to be the first formerly incarcerated person to win a state election in Washington.

“Tell me a story.”
Most of us never say these words past childhood, yet we never stop seeking out narrative threads. Indeed, we make sense of the world and one another through stories. We allow stories, whether tales from children, newly released audiobooks, or podcasts, to wash over us as we scrub the dishes or drive our daily commutes. We weave them into our mornings, afternoons, and evenings.
If you find yourself longing for story but feel overwhelmed by the number of podcasts available, expand your listening horizons with one of these series. The topics vary, the styles and formats range widely, but one idea guides each show: When we’re exposed to the stories of others, we hear echoes of our experiences. Life makes sense in those moments we detect a whisper in our earbuds, saying, “You are not alone.”
