Please help save my school’s geology department. All you have to do to help is send an email that’s already written for you to a list of emails provided. We have one of the best geology programs in the country and admin is cutting it due to a deficit they created. They shouldn’t be taking their mistakes out on the student body. A reblog would be appreciated to reach a wider audience. Thank you!

College Chronicles
Since the deadline to make a decision is nigh, my brother is finally actually touring of some of the schools he's been accepted to.
San Jose State (SJSU) is the current front runner. He needs to get a 3 on the AP Calculus exam to be officially in, although the admissions counselor said there was a work-around there if he didn't. I think it's a test they administer through the university? One of his best friends has also committed to SJSU and said if my brother goes he'd like to room with him. My dad is being a total jackass about this. "It's too close to home." OK? Then you shouldn't have allowed him to apply there! And seriously? We're going to punish the kid because he happened to grow up in an area where there are a ton of great opportunities because you've decided he "needs" to go far away? Shut up.
Chico State (CSCU) is out but my brother said if you could move the campus slightly closer to a city he'd definitely consider it seriously. Totally fair. It's a cute, affordable college town but Sacramento is 1.5 hours away on a good day. I'm glad he's weighing the schools and considering he has to live there.
Long Beach is old and rundown and felt depressing, according to him lol. Fullerton had a nice campus and people were smiling and seemed happy but he finds the 97% commuter aspect off-putting. He also liked the campus at Cal Poly Pomona and said the chemical engineering program sounds fantastic but it's basically Chico but further south (remote, not much going on in the area). But, he hasn't officially eliminated it.
SF State is also an option but is even closer to my parents' house than SJSU (my stepmom drives past it on her way to work most days) and so again, my dad is being a pill about it. My brother doesn't seem terribly excited about it, anyway, other than he knows the area and spends time in the city anyway so it's comfortable.
He hasn't visited Sonoma or Northridge. He turned down UC Santa Cruz's waitlist spot. At one point UC Davis was also in the mix (waitlisted) but he didn't love it when he visited and told me he had it at the top of his list because it's a UC and "everyone told me to be into it."
I told him if he wants to talk through his thoughts/concerns I'd be happy to help him make some pro/con lists or figure out his non-negotiables or just listen to him vent and he said he knows and loves me (omg) and he's going to sleep on it and talk to his girlfriend (who also got into SJSU and liked it, FYI) and he may call me to talk later. At this point I may offer to be there when he tells his parents his decision if for no other reason than to whip something at my dad's head if he expresses anything other than enthusiastic support.
@pelicanhypeman and I are pretty sure it's going to be SJSU. My dad thinks I support this because it's 10 minutes from my house and uhhhh... if the kid wanted to go to school in Japan I'd support him! What is there to be gained by shitting on his decision, especially if it's not an inherently harmful one? He'll pull away from us out of hurt, not out of finding independence. I don't want that kind of relationship with him.
Now I need to figure out what to get him as a graduation present (I still owe him a trip from 8ther grade graduation in 2020) and order the bullhorn for the ceremony.

A LOOK AT "THE MASTER IN THE REDWOODS" -- A GERMAN-AMERICAN MASTER POTTER AND HER WORKS.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Marguerite Wildenhain (born Marguerite Friedlaender), (October 11, 1896 – February 24, 1985), an American Bauhaus-trained ceramic artist, educator and author, photographed at Pond Farm, Sonoma County, CA, c. early 1950s. Plus assorted pottery works by the late, great Marguerite herself.
OVERVIEW: "Another potter whose career exemplifies the international nature of studio pottery is Marguerite Wildenhain (1896 – 1985). She was born in France, to a British mother and a German Jewish father. At age 18, she started work in a porcelain factory, and fell in love with the wheel. One day in 1919, while riding her bike in the countryside, Marguerite happened upon a poster announcing a new school, to be called the Bauhaus. It would be "a new guild of craftsmen without the class distinctions which raise an arrogant barrier between craftsmen and artists." At the Bauhaus, Wildenhain worked with some of the greatest designers of the early 20th century; in 1925, she became the first woman honored as a German Master Potter. She went on to teach at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design, while also designing commercial ceramics. When the Nazis came into power, Wildenhain and her husband fled to the Netherlands, where they opened a pottery they called shop called Het Kruikje (“The Little Jug”). In 1940 she had to flee the Nazis yet again, this time to emigrating to the United States
PART II: Wildenhain briefly took a position at the California College of Arts and Crafts, then in 1942, relocated to the new Pond Farm artist’s colony in rural Sonoma County. High on a hill above the Russian River, she planted a garden, built a house, and repurposed an old barn into her pottery studio. Over the next 40 years, Wildenhain would create an extraordinary body of work here, while also teaching students from around the world. Her students learned to throw on the physically-demanding kick-wheel, and started by making a dog dish! In between sessions, they discussed philosophy, natural history, and how to run a business; many went on to become important potters in their own right. Now part of the Austin Creek State Recreation Area, Wildenhain’s studio has been designated a "National Treasure" by the National Trust for Historic Preservation."

Athena Ryan, from Sonoma Academy, and Lorelei Barrett of Sherman Oaks Buckley, (both transgender) opted not to participate in the scheduled girl’s 1,600-meter run at Buchanan High in Clovis, Calif.” And last week I posted a story about the women boycotting because men were allowed to participate in the women’s division. The only way both sides can be happy is to have the mens division be open and the women division be just for women. That way men taking hormones and women taking testosterone can still compete…..they just aren’t going to be happy with the results.
Two transgender female high school athletes were no-shows for their race at the California State preliminary Track and Field Championship on Friday — a week after they clinched a spot in the elite race.
Athena Ryan, from Sonoma Academy, and Lorelei Barrett of Sherman Oaks Buckley, opted not to participate in the scheduled girl’s 1,600-meter run at Buchanan High in Clovis, Calif., according to The Los Angeles Times.
“The CIF is disappointed for two of our student-athletes and their families because due to the actions of others, they found it necessary to withdraw from the State Track and Field Championships out of concern for the student’s well being,” the California Interscholastic Federation, the governing body for high school sports in California, wrote in a statement to the outlet.
The CIF expressed that the organization “strongly denounces discriminatory or harassing behaviors” the student-athletes have been subjected to and are disappointed the runners have chosen not to compete.
Last week, Ryan and Barrett qualified to compete for a chance of winning states after placing in the top three of the girls’ 1,600-meter races at their respective sectional meets.
Ryan, a junior, finished in second place as protests formed, calling her participation in the competition unfair to the other girls.
She also came under fire after a runner who placed fourth was seen on video waving to the crowd before appearing to give a thumbs-down — a gesture taken entirely out of context, the school told The Post.
Barrett, who won third at the Southern Section Masters event last Saturday, was also subjected to similar pressure from the crowd, with a spectator allegedly yelling to “Trip her” repeatedly while she ran her 1,600-meter race, which can be heard on a video.
The Post reached out to Sonoma Academy and Sherman Oaks Buckley.
The outlet asked five local coaches of runners who were in line to compete in Friday’s 1,600-meter heat were asked they felt about transgender females being allegeable.
Three coaches said they would support any athlete who shows up to compete, regardless of how they identify.
The two other coaches shared that they believed transgender girls should run in their own separate races, the outlet reported.


“Adults have created this problem,” said Oaks Christian coach Wesley Smith. “Adults need to fix this problem.”
The California Interscholastic Federation enacted its “Gender Identity Participation” rules in 2013, stating, “All students should have the opportunity to participate in CIF athletics and/or activities in a manner that is consistent with their gender identity.”
“All of our athletes, all the eligible athletes, are afforded the opportunity to compete with the gender they feel most comfortable with,” Brian Seymour, the CIF’s associate executive director, told The Los Angeles Times.
College swimming star Riley Gaines slammed the two runners for not competing saying,: “Did they realize they clearly possess an unfair advantage?”

The University of Kentucky swimmer has gained notoriety for vocalizing her displeasure with transgender females competing in female biological sports since facing Penn swimmer Lia Thomas — a transgender female.
Gaines tied with Thomas for fifth place in the 200-meter freestyle NCAA championships in March and has loudly criticized Thomas since then.
“Women are brave people, but it shouldn’t take bravery to demand equal treatment. And if our leaders cannot deliver fairness to sports and athletics, then we need different leaders. Our next generation of girls deserves to see themselves as champions – not “oppressors” – and we all deserve a clear voice in this debate,” Gaines wrote in an op-ed for The Post.

Exploring Pop-up Artists pt. 1
As I was looking into various books and tutorials to get a better understanding of paper engineering with pop-up techniques, I found a youtube channel that was like a literal goldmine for this project.
"The Pop-Up Channel" was run by Duncan Birmingham and had a lot of various techniques with in-depth videos that I hope to further refer to when I'm making my pages.
A brief overview of the Artist and his background:
Duncan Birmingham
He has been teaching the intriguing art of pop-up since 1989. He currently teaches illustration degree students at the University of the West of England, gives one-day workshops for secondary school teachers countrywide, and has also taught junior school, GCSE and adult education classes in this country and abroad. He enjoys enabling others to create and experiment with this unusual skill, and is continually inspired by the work and enthusiasm of his students.
Duncan studied art at the School of Expressive Arts, Sonoma State University in California and at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, England. He has also worked as an illustrator, designed geometry posters for schools, and is the creator of the popular children’s puzzle book ‘M’ is for Mirror.

Sonoma’s Citizen-Extraordinaire and local Goodwill Ambassador
Honorary mayor and Sonoma’s own goodwill ambassador, Patrick Garcia was out on the town during the Labor Day weekend enjoying ice cream at Sweet Scoops Home Made Ice Cream on the plaza.
Encouraging visitors to stop in and have “the best ice cream in town,” he said to passersby. Sweet Scoops is one of the favorite places in town he likes to frequent, along with the Basque Boulangerie and the legendary Swiss Hotel among others.
Garcia has been an important influence and presence in Sonoma, especially as “alcalde honorario” an accolade he humbly treasures with honor.
As the line to get ice cream at Sweet Scoops that Saturday evening continued down the block of First Street, East, Garcia was pleased to to have conversation with a family from San Francisco.
The family’s last name was Anza. And, as Garcia explained his family roots are related to the man Juan Bautista de Anza, who is among the early explorers and settlers to California when it was part of Spain.
Eventually, after 300 years, California would be part of Mexico and then more than 50 years later, California was acquired as part the United States in 1848.
In someways, Garcia is a link to Sonoma’s founder, Mariano Vallejo.
Vallejo connected California’s Spanish-Mexican heritage and past to its future establishment as a state of the United States.
Regardless of the controversies surrounding Vallejo cited by some historians, it is agreed that Vallejo had a major impact in maintaining a sense of balance between the three countries and was a diplomat.
As California grew in population, attracting people from all over the world, Vallejo’s presence was basically in effect, a bridge. Vallejo was a “significant figure” as noted by established historians such as professor Citlali Sosa-Riddell, PhD of the University of California Humanities Research Institute (UCHRI).
“Vallejo explained his desire to avoid further warfare or animosity between the Californios and the, Americans…” she wrote in her dissertation for the University of California, Los Angeles in 2020.
Garcia is very proud of the uniqueness of California and the fact that it’s history runs through his veins. “I was told about my Spanish-Mexican heritage and ancestors,” he said. “But I always thought of myself as an American,” he exclaimed to the Anza family waiting in line.
Wearing his veteran’s cap, Garcia mentioned that he served in the U.S. military. As he once wrote about his military service experience in an essay for the Sonoma Valley Sun back in 2016.
“It was not uncommon for other Latinos to look at my name-tag and start speaking Spanish to me. They expected that I spoke Spanish with a name like Garcia. I was proud of my last name but embarrassed that I could not speak Spanish. I made a promise to myself that I would change that as soon as I got out of the military.”
Garcia kept that promise as he used his GI Bill military benefits to go back to school and study abroad both in Spain and then in Mexico.
“I returned to California to complete my studies, in 1971. I chose a new college in Sonoma County called Sonoma State University. I was by then fluent in Spanish,” he noted. “I also knew that I would never forget the wonderful cultural and historical knowledge the people in Mexico taught me on a daily basis.”
The Anza family from San Francisco were pleased to listen to Garcia and that their family name had such a strong connection with the history of California.
As the line along the sidewalk moved closer to a much anticipated frozen treat from Sweet Scoops, the family still wanted to hear more.
“Now in my retirement years,” said Garcia, I have a deep love for my two countries, and a passion to share how we have drawn closer as blending nations over the last 250 years.”
Since his honorary “alcalde” in 2016, Garcia has continued to be a citizen of Sonoma “extraordinaire.”
Among the many things he has done, Garcia served as chairperson of the Sonoma-Patzcuaro Sister Cities Committee.
In that capacity, Garcia was able to spearhead the successful transfer of a retired Sonoma city fire truck to a community in need in Mexico.
In addition to upholding his family in esteem, including his son musician, Diego Garcia, he believes strongly in community service. Civic duty and community service is essential as Garcia told the Sonoma Sister Cities Association back in 2016, “I can be your mentor.” “But you can also be my mentor.”
Garcia told the family in line as well as the other visitors all eagerly awaiting a scoop of ice cream, “I have been very blessed and I am so grateful to be a part of Sonoma.”

My dad is sick as hell so E and I decided to stay home and not catch whatever he has. I’m a little sad because I was looking forward to Christmas with my brother but it’s been delightfully relaxing, honestly.
My brother had big news: he’s received a few college acceptances! So far he’s been accepted to:
Chico State (Go Wildcats!)
Sonoma State
Northridge
San Francisco State
UC Davis asked for some supplemental information so he’s working on that. Sounds promising!
He’s still waiting to hear back from quite a few schools but is relieved to know he’s got some options.
