For @flaminghydra, Zito Madu writes about the joy of football (soccer), including playing for Palestine in a mock World Cup tournament in Michigan. “What stuck with me through that tournament and the aftermath was how light and joyful it all felt with them, how much we laughed and celebrated, and the feeling and experience of being exhausted on the benches, all in the sun together. It was more fun than I had had playing in all those years before.”

Shrub Oak International School in New York promises personalized assistance for autistic students with complex needs but ProPublica discovered neglect and abuse. As a result of their reporting, some states are now telling their public schools not to send pupils to the private, for-profit boarding school.

Sad news this week about @hakaimagazine, which has announced it will shut down at the end of the year. For now, it’s still publishing brilliant science stories, like this beautifully illustrated one on the anatomy of seals.
