It's not new, but it's new to this blog. I'm posting a 2017 comment in 2021, just because every year's the same.
It's Learn Nothing Day here, finally. We had previews from other time zones. It's not going well. Cally Brown sent a note "from New Zealand, the country that leads the world in failing to Learn Nothing."
It's like election results—will Hawaiians even bother to try?
Well, best of luck to those who are just waking up today, and it's nearly over, those who are going to bed now on Monday. 🙂
There are several comments detailing failures. If you like the idea that "Learn Nothing Day" might succeed, it's a Festival of Failure, but if you like stories of unexpected and happy learning, you'll love those comments!
Notes, art, humor, history, hopes, dreams and nonsense.
Learn Nothing Day Parade
One more month! Big month of learning, or little month of relaxing after the craziest year and a half since the 1960s, or 1940s or something, depending where you live.
I saved this e-mail feed for last, for deletion, and the one-month announcement can slip in under the wire!
For art, this year, think about a parade. Any medium that can be transported electonically (photo or video of what you've done, or computer image from the get-go). Any kind of parade from your memory or imagination, from history or popular media. I've seen or been in in rodeo parades, Christmas parades, high school homecoming parade and the state fair parade. You might live where those seem weird or exotic, but there might be other parades you could reference or fake up. If we line the collected images up, tadaaa, parade!
If there are no entries, people can stay in their warm homes (southern hemisphere) or out of the burning summer sun (northern hemisphere) or go back to your surfing or bird watching or whatever (equatorial dwellers). And remember that e-mail subscriptions are ended for this, in just a few days. Facebook might be a better thing to subscribe to (follow). Learn Nothing Day
That has 68 members as i write this. The subscription list for this blog has 85.
I need a photo... gratuitous photos from my phone, forward and back, sitting in my kitchen:

LND 2021, and subscription/e-mail changes
The change is that the feedburner subscriptions will not work after this month, so if you have another way to subscribe, or to remind yourself to check in here sometimes, do it!
Thanks for subscribing, and I'm sorry you won't get more posts by e-mail.
It is six weeks or so to Learn Nothing Day 2021. This will be the twelfth, so people who started celebrating with a young child probably have a teen or young adult at home now, and much experience with learning.
This image was created (by someone at fiverr.com) before it seemed dangerously deadly to go to the theatre. I have heard that Broadway is reopening in September.
Best wishes to all of you getting back out into richer, wilder unschooling lives.
