National Council on Teacher Quality: Have you checked out our new database?. “Earlier this month, NCTQ launched an amazing new tool to give the public better access to the content of collective bargaining agreements, teacher handbooks, school calendars and teacher salary schedules. … We’ve begun with the nation’s 50 largest school districts but will be adding an additional 50 this year.”

Handwriting on paper doesn't just feel different. It forces the brain into a deeper kind of encoding that screens cannot trigger, and the difference shows up on MRI scans within an hour.
After I won two flats and a box of random paper thingies at yesterday’s North Star Auction in Mandan, North Dakota, a dude approached who was mighty interested in this little 1920 calendar (he knew exactly where it was in the box, and it was deep). I told him I hadn’t gone through things yet, but now I’m curious. I’ll assume it had a little cardboard easel back at one point.
Woman inherits her grandma’s ‘perpetual calendar’ from the ’70s. It’s a perfect family heirloom.
Calendar software update...

Thanks all, I went and did a bit of reading based on your recommendations, and I have a much better sense now of the calendar territory. (and SuperProductivity, not exactly a calendar but interesting)
And then... When I was imagining the different options in use, I realised that _none_ of them was exactly what I wanted, because of the frustrating smallness of a laptop screen when I want to look at the whole year! What I was actually craving was a physical year-planner display which can be hung on a wall. Non-electronic solution :-)
Thinking it over, I also remembered I can supplement that with reminders from Remind. I use that for recurring things already, like "renew library books" or "put bins out", but there's nothing to stop me putting in a few one-off events as well if it would be useful.
So thanks for the food for thought assisting my thought-experiments, and I shall bookmark this thread in case I do need one of the other ones later :-)
#AskFedi: Is there a calendar which can run locally on a Linux laptop, which
• when given permission, can view events from a Google Calendar account
• without reciprocally showing Google the rest of what's in my schedule?
I'm not sure if that's a thing!
Asking because I currently have a work role where Google Calendar is the chosen one, and I don't like the idea of telling Google my personal business (more than it already knows), but sometimes it would be useful to see all of it together.
Bonus points if it lets you select event colours from a colour picker. I do like a nice colour code :-)
Historical records indicate that this feast is not celebrated according to the Gregorian calendar. Maybe it is a lunar calendar thing.
Attached: 2 images I decided to give the "lawn" a trim now that #NoMowMay is coming to an end. 🙃 I'm not sure what to do about these Passiflora. It won't be long before they're meeting up with the strawberries coming in the opposite direction! #BloomScrolling #Gardening
