No Grammys This Month — Thanks, Omicron | LAist

The Recording Academy and broadcast partner CBS have postponed the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, citing “consideration and analysis” with Los Angeles and California officials, health and safety experts, musicians, and other partners. The show had been set to take place Jan. 31 at the recently renamed Crypto.com Arena (the stadium previously known as Staples) in downtown L.A.

“Given the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant, holding the show on January 31st simply contains too many risks,” the Recording Academy and CBS said in a joint statement.

Happy Teacher Post!!

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

     I am so happy!!  I just got a comment from a fellow teacher in a similar situation to what I started in, and my lesson plans have helped with kids from difficult backgrounds!  That is why I made them so varied, holistic, and as hands on as possible, and that is why I work so hard on Do Better, because all it takes is a little re-thinking of the way we do things to make it work for all of us!   It just requires the same kind of community thinking that any democracy movement must practice.   Ok, back to today’s regularly scheduled lesson plan!  🙂

Dear January

yaskhan

Dear January, you have been doing this every year. And you look great. The beginning always looks great. You have only come to make this year look better.

the calendar 
in January's chill
spring blossoms

Dear January, speak poetry and embrace me with your eloquence. Make spring bloom luminescent ...make what is empty, dark....effervescent. let nectar flow from lips of flowers and let butterflies carry their fragrant dreams into mountains,  hills,  brooks ,streams, oceans and high seas spreading over earth..

Speak to me
Oh January
Tell the moon to twirl me silver, sun ignite my fire..let the stars wrap their light. .my eyes sparkle the constellations..

Wounded fingers quiver
Broken whispers of fear 
Let the wind be a balm 
To heal the sighs 
Of disease frightened people.
