Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

I decided to trans because I knew the last election would go the way it did and that if I kept waiting for a good time I’d just die without ever having been myself You have to love yourself. I’m sorry, I wish things were easier, but they aren’t

Elsewhere on Bluesky folks are noting that The Kids These Days aren't much into Douglas Adams. As someone who is much into Douglas Adams (and in fact wrote an intro to new edition of his works) allow me to remind folks that it's not actually surprising when The Kids aren't into decades-old stuff.

I took a photo that looks like one of those library read posters earlier this year. I think it turned out ok.

A picture of me in my roller derby gear (helmet, pink knee pads, safety glasses and wrist guards) reading a book with a purple cover, Queer Little Nightmares. Above me in hot pink, the words, READ GOOD BOOKS. Background, a silver ceiling with florescent lights.

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

young people romanticize the 90’s because the aesthetics are neat and they like the jeans or whatever but I think it’s hard to convey to someone who wasn’t there the world was so SMALL. it was claustrophobic compared to what we have now. in every dimension, from cooking to media to communication

as so often, Terry Pratchett had it nailed.

Death and Susan talking in Hogfather by Terry Pratchett

NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

"So we can believe the big ones?"

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

"They're not the same at all!"

YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET— Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME... SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

"But people have got to believe that, or what's the point?"

MY POINT EXACTLY.
