Health care is a human right, not a privilege. We need to put people over profit and protect health care access for everyone. We need Medicare for All now.

Academic and high school librarians, are there any good general science databases that don't cost an arm and a leg? We have ScienceDirect and Science Magazine already, and I'd like to add at least one more. We are a college prep school, so higher ed databases are great. #TLSky #SchoolLibraries

“On the one hand, the Republican Party is uniformly and openly eliminationist toward us. On the other hand, some 80 year old back bench deep-red-state legislator with a D after his name said something ignorant. So both parties are exactly the same. I am a very serious person.”

Tangent to this, but it's bonkers to me that Biden was -24 on the economy in 2022. The fact that US economic fallout from covid was orders of magnitude less than other countries AND he started major invst in EV/solar mfg just didn't matter to people who were pissed about covid prices.

Giles Corey refused to enter a plea of "guilty" or "not guilty," and was tortured over days putting more and more rocks on him, and every time they asked for his plead, he answered: "MORE WEIGHT." The refusal to even play in their charade of a trial was badass.

My whole career the Humanities seem to have been curled up in a defensive crouch trying to justify our meaning/existence. At times it has even seemed a productive thought exercise, but I think generally whatever body has demanded the justification is not really open to being persuaded of anything.

Sad to hear of Annie Dillard's passing. I read her memoir 35 years ago, An American Childhood, about growing up in a very industrialized town in the mid century, and her fascination with science and reading and . . . just curiosity about life, it all really spoke to me.

I've been on this road a long time...

Stationery paper and star stickers over a green background. Text: "My whole life, there've only ever been two things I've wanted to be..."

1. a faery

Scrapbook style page includes a photo of a messy-haired girl in a pink faery costume, holding a watering can ("garden faery, age 5"), a young woman in a white dress and faery wings ("age 19"), and a doodle ("drawn by a friend, age 15") that includes "Marley is a fairy! or a ghost"

2. a writer

Scrapbook style page includes a photo of a little girl sitting at a desk and holding up a writing utensil ("age 5"), cramped little kid writing ("diary entry, age 7, declaring plans to publish a book"), and a cut out from a black and white senior magazine ("voted 'most likely to be the next great author' in high school")

"Guess I'll settle for being a writer of faery books" (smiley face)

Shows cover of THE BONE BRIDES, by Marley Rose-Teter, and a photo of the author holding three ARCs, labeled "a debut novelist!"

Also a situation complicated by publishers that play coy with the actual age category because they want the perceived benefits of YA without forfeiting the perceived prestige of adult books

Guess I needed some more horror in my life so I watched It Comes At Night. For a movie released in 2017 it sure captured the isolation and distrust and fear of Covid. Cannot recommend, sadly, because they killed the dog.

An amazing exchange. What Elon doesn't get is that playing chess isn't about "solving" it or asking a computer to play it. It's about two people testing their skill against one another, it's about your ability to plan but also improvise. He's not good at either, so he wants help "solving" it.

Yeah, I've heard this complaint actually for a number of years from teens reading YA (probably since about 2016, so within the last decade!) Retro YA had instances of this based on some of my backlog reading, but there was enough variety in what was offered that it wasn't a problem. Now it is.
