I know so many people who have moved off of social media (and for good reason!) but now have no idea what they've been up to. I now understand why my older relatives always had newsletters in their holiday cards - we all need to go back to that!

I really love them. It's also making me think about one of my friends from 5th grade - we moved away at the end of the year and I never saw him again. I always wondered what happened to him all these years later. Those childhood friendships are so powerful, you know?

Today I was discussing Executive Dysfunction with some folks, and how in our household we call it "The Sits" I decided to make an info poster. It's based on my personal experience with it. Yes, the person is me 😆 #neurodivergent #memes #executivedysfunction

A meme poster showing someone in a chair, listing information about executive dysfunction
"Know you have something important to do, but just can't make yourself get up and DO it? You might have THE SITS" Also known as Executive Dysfunction, symptoms may include:
Hyperfocusing on one specific thing but not THE thing
Daydreaming or "spacing out"
Internally screaming at yourself to just DO the THING to no avail
Time blindness; where did the last 3 hours go?
Feeling overwhelmed by tasks which would take 5 minutes if you just got up and DID them, but instead take all day because of THE SITS

I went to high school in Clermont, and it's always so wild to see Central FL show up in places like this. It's such a strange mix of suburbs, strip malls, and remote farmland, or at least it was in 2002. (I was also living in Boston when this happened, so I'm learning about this case now.)

It's your birthday, Duane.

Duane Kearns Puryear, holding his panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt. It reads, in block letters: "My name is Duane Kearns Puryear. I was born on December 20, 1964. I was diagnosed with AIDS on September 7, 1987 at 4:45 PM. I was 22 old. Sometimes, it makes me very sad. I made this panel myself. If you are reading it, I am dead..."

There are several great resources to learn about Duane, his advocacy, his family, his panel, and the politics of memory and re-creation, especially this one by The Dallas Way: http://www.thedallasway.org/stories/written/2021/9/19/duane-puryears-and-the-quilt-panel

Duane Puryear died in 1991.

letter from james schuyler (poet) to john button (painter), 1956. this is IT for me. this is love, it's been captured, it's done, we can all pack it up. "and suddenly everything i'd ever felt about you turned into a diamond or a rose or something"

Dear John,

I don't know why I have to tell you this today (but I do) — perhaps it's because when I look out into the fog all I can see is the hairs of your adorable chest. I'm terribly in love with you, and have been for such a long time, ever since the first time Frank took me to your apartment. I looked around at your beautiful paintings and suddenly everything I'd ever felt about you turned into a diamond or a rose or something — anyway I went striding up and down while Frank played Poulenc and felt exactly like the Ugly Duckling the day he found he was a swan.

Then you came home and I didn't think I could ever look at you or to you again, all I could do was giggle and snort and twitch. But I've looked at you a lot since then, and there isn't anybody else in the world that I want to look at; or want, for that matter.

It seems to me that I've been so GOOD that I couldn't hate myself more. I don't see why I couldn't have been born a robber baron type instead of a fool.

Now I'm going down and set 57th Street on fire to keep you warm.

This is all nonsense. I love being in love with you, it makes even unhappiness seem no bigger than a pin, even at the times when I wish so violently that I could give my heart to science and be rid of it.

With all my love,
Jimmy

At least we know we're in the right on this and just have to keep doing what we can ✊🏻 I'm working to make my Elementary classes understand it's not as cool or useful as people might say it is, so by the time they get to high school or college they may not be as likely to use it. I can hope at least.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's absolutely bonkers how much it has been embraced, especially in Education. I'm the very anti-ai voice in our Library Department and always feel like am outsider for speaking up. Like, what are we even doing here?!

Through the end of June they're playing the London cast of Next To Normal which is SO GOOD but really emotionally devastating. Also Yellow Face and Kiss me, Kate. It's always a mix of stuff but definitely worth it!

MA residents, please join me in calling Governor Healey's office to demand action and a response to these brazen kidnappings carried out by ICE on the streets of our cities. If you'd like a script, we've provided one - full copy in the alt text. Her office's number is 617 725 4005. Flood it!

“Hello,

My name is <your name> and I’m calling from <your number.> I'm one of Governor Healey's constituents and I am calling to demand concrete action to protect our students and our neighbors from the brazen and unamerican attacks ICE is currently launching, including the kidnapping of Fulbright scholar Rumeysa Ozturk When will the Governor denounce these terror attacks, denounce the kidnapping of surgeons and scholars, snatched off our streets by masked thugs in plain clothes?

I demand to know what Governor Healey is going to do to protect our students and protect our schools, because these deportations are not just attempts to end our first amendment right to protest perpetuated by a genocidal regime, but they are also clearly attempts to scare away international students, damage our Universities, and punish our state for voting against him. I demand to know when I'm going to stop having to hear the Governor shamefully remind the country that we are not a sanctuary state and push for rolling back our right-to-shelter law, and when I'm going to start hearing her use her executive power to prevent state police and city governments from collaborating with ICE. I demand to know which concrete steps the Massachusetts administration will take to protect our citizens from these horrifying raids.”

I'm a school librarian and our district, due to budgetary bullshit, cut 40 people yesterday. Today I saw that our middle and high school students are planning a walkout and protest in solidarity. Things feel really dire out here but these kids give me hope.
