Leaders' actions illuminate their values and priorities. Early childhood education in our country to improve lives and opportunities vs. killing children in another country to line the pockets of the rich

Back-to-school meant a cross-stitch hiatus, but I am pleased with this pretty prancing unicorn. It "lives" with the other cryptids from the Creatively Crafting SAL, although whether a unicorn is a cryptid has been the subject of debate. Bottom line: I like her 😃 #crossstitch #crafting #unicorn

A particularly infuriating aspect of this A.I. bullshit is that nobody seems to remember that we all got along just fine without it for centuries. How are we all suddenly incapable of reading and understanding written words? Of creating art? Of telling stories? It’s madness.

When I used to write for The Guardian, every time I wrote the word “meow” the editors would change it to “miaow”. It used to really get on my wick. Don’t try to make my cats sound like your upper middle class London cats, you fuckers. My cats did not go to your posh cat schools. They say “meow”.

Ranchers and Farmers have always been a number one priority for me. They work very hard, are smart, efficient, and immaculately CLEAN, but for years I have heard that they have had a tremendous problem with the Big Processors, who many say are a nasty Monopoly. There are, essentially, 4 of them, a very non competitive number, and they make life miserable for our wonderful Farmers and Ranchers, and I can't let that happen, can I? So, in order to break this powerful monopoly, with much of its ownership based outside of the U.S., I am authorizing legal documents to be drawn in order to allow Farmers and Ranchers to be given the right to PROCESS THEIR OWN FOOD. This should move quickly. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
President DONALD J. TRUMP

Canadian Dolly Parton Fact Dolly Parton's Imagination Library has benefited hundreds of communities across Canada, delivering over 5 million free books. Key Canadian communities covered are First Nations, Métis, & Inuit Communities. Over 52% of all books that are mailed go to indigenous children👍❤️

I haven’t seen this mentioned yet: Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has a bilingual English-Spanish option. She supported the literacy of young Spanish-language readers at a time when Spanish and Spanish-speakers were increasingly being demonized in politics. imaginationlibrary.com/bilingual-pr...

But the government doesn’t have enough money for school lunches or Medicare prescription subsidies. The United States values killing people in other countries over keeping people alive in our own.

You'll be shocked to learn the secret was ACCESS. ACCESS is the thing. This is why removing access to books is key to fascism. Key to Christian nationalism. Media literacy in this experiment was a bonus. Revoking ACCESS is why we have a literacy crisis. Democracy, paywalls, etc etc.

If you don’t have anything pressing to say but feel like posting on social media, remember that it’s never wrong to say Elon Musk is a pathological liar, a deliberate promoter of global starvation, and a disgusting clump of duck droppings wrapped in human skin.
