Index No. 4 (More Resources)
Friday resources, March - May 2024
Index No. 1 collected resources from early in Pose Ponder’s publishing history. Here’s a second collection.
For new subscribers, Pose Ponder publishes weekdays for three weeks on, then one week off. Writing daily is hard work, and I need time to immerse in my reading, catch up on my language studies (Korean and classical Chinese), organize travel, and tend to my garden. Not to mention plot and plan.
The Friday before I leave you, I gather up a few older posts you might have missed. Today’s index is a second roundup of resources. Other indices collect posts on various topics. I tag all indices as “meta” posts.
Have a great break and see you in a week!
P.S. — On Saturday mornings, per usual, you’ll get the weekly round-up. Included are instructions for changing your subscription settings, if you prefer to receive weekly rather than daily emails.

Free, Biased, Useful Courses
For resource Friday today I’m going to plug Hillsdale’s free online courses, specifically their politics courses. I’ve taken three of them. (I have not taken courses in other subject areas.) Things I like: engagement with primary sources ← this is the best
The Wonder of Wondrium
UPDATE: Wondrium has returned to its original focus, rebranding back to the Great Courses Plus (i.e. streamed).
It’s resource Friday. Back in the day when I was homeschooling, I made heavy use of the Great Courses produced by The Teaching Company. The courses were taught by distinguished college professors on history, philosophy, science, and all matter of other subjects, for laypeople, adult learners.…
