The last time I made a big deal about Learn Nothing day was 2014, when it was the 7th.
This year (2017) will be #10.
There isn't another fancy number coming until 2027, or 2032. If I'm still around and if Learn Nothing Day is still remembered then, I might buy some crazy art and make a "woohoo!" celebration out of it then.
For now, though, I DO have some art still coming. There are chickens from Macedonia (in motion), a magic trick from Jamaica, a banana leaf from Samoa, an air brush demo, and some more photoshop fun – something nearly every day until the 24th.
From the 10th Learn Nothing Day until the seventh anniversary of Just Add Light and Stir (September 2, 2017), I'll ask for donations. I didn't do that last year. I won't request financial help again until 2020.
Thank you for reading this, and for your kind words, well wishes and good will.
Notes, art, humor, history, hopes, dreams and nonsense.
Not teaching, not learning, just being happy!
Two weeks left until Learn Nothing Day!

Ezhil and his cousins, doing busines as funnyguys at Fiverr.com, made this video. They wanted $10, but I gave them $20. They live in some Tamil-speaking part of India. It's silly, but they must be having fun and making some money, because they have over 2,500 reviews on Fiverr, and a five-star rating.

Paper stars
The artist is in the U.S., but the folded stars have two Korean connections for me—one factors into a kdrama called Healer, which I love and have watched half a dozen times. And Alex Polikowsky learned how to fold stars like this, from a Korean friend in Minnesota. But the art above is by a fiverr artist named Rochelle, here: fiverr.com/ceeworks
Don't get the wrong idea
This is from 2012, from another place, but think about it:
Because I put a post on About Unschooling, I looked at the site stats, so I can see if there's a bump. It's not important, but what I found was this:
☺ So it goes. ☺

One more month of learning
I'm posting this on June 24. July 24 is that One Big Holiday for unschoolers. Learn as much as you can before the big lull, the shut-off, the power-down, the void. Oh, that reminds me about the discussion of how difficult it was to translate "void in Utah" to French. Even "Learn Nothing Day" can be hard to translate.
Everything reminds me of lots of things.
This art was new in 2015. The Lego arrangement, photo and image were all created by Alicia Gonzalez-Lopez with help and encouragement from her artistic children.
Alicia sent me "Lego Sandra" with her wheelbarrow (inspired by my "Wheelbarrow things" blog: Wheelbarrows). The little sign is really a miniature little physical sign). I gave it a train ride, on the Cumbres & Toltec, in August that year:
It rode inside, but I posed it on the engine when we stopped for lunch.

Tenth Learn Nothing day will be in 2017
The tenth one! Coming soon. Learn all you can before then.
Below are some portals to the learning of trivia or profundity or both, in case you want to learn.
When July 24th comes, try NOT to learn. Try to not learn, that day, for sure.
Click the randomizing dice:
Thinking Sticks—Ideas and connections
Images and quotes and links and smiles
Add Light and Stir
If you choose randomly, I'm probably in there. Not all of them, but lots. "More Extra Bits" at the bottom is all me.
