Reality, unavailable alternate universes, and TV dangers

These links have all been announced here over at various times over the past year and a half, but the reality TV page has new writings.

The ideas here aren't so simple, but awareness of their existence is good!

Also, to a newly created page with previously published writing by Robyn Coburn and Joyce Fetteroll:

Neglect, "unschool world" and mechanical music

"Cheery Neglect"—Karen Lee asked about that phrase, which she remembered from a quote but couldn't find. Others quickly helped locate it. It seemed good enough to put on its own page.

Some people want to live with and around unschoolers, rather than in the real world around them.

Mechanical Music—old, new, soothing, inspiring. Engineering, history, art.

A calliope brought to Hollycombe Steam in the Country, July 2013,
