#roamcult A New Year of color I guess. Thoughts? Image
Another variation inspired by @yadhu96
Why not go wild with the font choice too!

#RoamCult if you ever thought Roam could not be used for a Weekly Review GTD style, it just requires Roamafying the workflow. Most data is removed or collapsed for privacy. Though #roam42 (@roamhacker) SmartBlocks are required. Doing this manually every week would be too much Image
This was just me finalizing from my old Weekly Review model:
Thanks @Conaw . Truly a tool that CAN do anything you want it to within the specific affordances and constraints.

#roamcult - query bomb - in both ways. Changes applied, all previous functionality altered.
No longer can you query for a single item??

Let’s do this appropriately on the macro level: The [[American [[Social Contract]]]] experiment to privatize education is failing miserably.

I haven’t said this yet, but @RoamHacker, #roam42 [[SmartBlocks]] are the first step in a lot of what we have been talking about for months - a true [[central source of truth]] data repository in @RoamResearch which to link all our PKM arenas.
When the API comes out, I expect great things from you 😁. I know you do this for the love of it. Respect. But you are also changing peoples lives in subtle ways. I have spent the last decade teaching people to “learn how to learn”.
To encourage the unknowing, the unwilling, and the passionate to find themselves and discover joy in thinking. We all have our [[calling]]. You have allowed me to better engage in my own work - engage in my own thinking - and frankly being a better human.

@AGWilsonn - Ok. Again, for full context and an understanding of priors. I teach at a [[community college]], so students more likely: marginalized, unprepared, unconnected, and juggling the major stresses in their community.
I teach in one city in the California Bay Area, and another in the Central Valley of California. Both are majority “minority” student body. One a gentrified city, the other gentrified farm community (like any place in the US isn’t gentrified?!)
The most important [[pedagogical goals]] I have is helping students become “[[true student]],” as opposed to “fee paying individuals.” With that said, the goals wouldn’t be much different elsewhere.

@cortexfutura I saw you retweeted some colorized photos. And I agree with the OPs comments. It is a shift in mindset that I use in my history classes all the time. In particular, for American history, the “Civil War” was only 150 yrs ago. that is only really 3-4 generations
Or 2-3 lifetimes. And in fact. The last “Confederate" widow (the opposition to the government) died in the 90s or 2000s (Granted she married a very old man when she was very young). But the colorized pictures bring so much more to the mind. ImageImage
Its actually very creepy for me, since I have a deep historical memory. ImageImage
