Think of a task on the peripherary of your current knowledge that's ideally on the peak of the yerkes-dodson curve. Produce educational material on it that explains it very deeply (tutorial, slides, blog, etc), which requires gaining deep knowledge yourself on the current sota and its shortcomings. Bonus points for tasks that are unsolved, practically useful, and that you can provide a novel pov/angle on.

THAT what partner do. not fix the bad day. just refuse to let the bad day be the whole story. love, oog

How are you just discovering Person of Interest and The Mentalist in 2026?? What series were you guys watching in the 2010’s?

For 5+ years Umuaka Holdings (across @raptures_io & Rapkids) has built one if not the largest indigenous African comic IPs libraries. It’s the glaring creative blind spot on our continent. Dedicated the rest of my productive days to trying to bridge that. This one’s for the kids 🥰

My young grandson called the other day to wish me happy birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, 77. He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, did you start at 1?

Mrs NJOKU & I agreed very early. Close to zero play screen time. The distraction is too destructive. If they’re not reading. We’re playing card games (e.g UNO). Fully locking in is a skill that even I as an adult struggle with. It's a muscle i’m trying to code into my own.

This is too fun not to share. My 6yo practicing flashcards with Synthesis. She has to finish the deck before "Flight of the Bumblebee" ends. This is live for all students now. Just pause any lesson to turn on speech input.
