I have lived east and west and while the west coast mountains will kill you through indifference to humanity, they are brash young mountains. The Appalachians are the home of things whose names humanity has never known, and they resent us as newcomers and take us down into the dark when they can.

Happy book lovers day! Never before have I felt so protective of all of us. Tech companies that have devalued the importance of books and education through the use of AI are invested in believing that we don't matter or that we don't exist or that we're idiots. We know better.

There are so many brilliant and dedicated experts working on climate. I wish more people listened to them. My own essay addresses the paradox that the uninformed are more doomy and defeatist than the deeply committed climate activists, scientists, and educators. Which says a lot.

Teachers rarely hear from parents who support intellectual freedom. A kind, respectful message reminds them they have allies in the community. A simple email can go a long way. #FreedomToRead #RightToRead #SupportTeachers #Libraries #Education

back to school. connect with teachers about the freedom to read. sending a polite message.

sample email: I appreciate the work you do for our students. I also want you to know that access to diverse books and the freedom to read are important to my family. Thank you for fostering a classroom where students can explore ideas, build empathy, and develop critical thinking skills.

I’m astonished by the ability of my fellow humans to forget the events we all just lived through. Folks remember the masks and the remote school. The million US dead are rarely mentioned. Folks, we lived through a plague.

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.

It is a critical failure of the left that the explosive diarrhea parasite outbreak has not already been branded "The RFK Runs" or "The MAHA Squirts" or "The Trump Trots" or something along those lines. "Oh, man, I can't go because I got a bad case of J.D. Pants."

the most relatable Austen heroine is chaotic goth weirdo Catherine Morland who reads so many trashy horror novels that she scares herself into imagining they’re real, and it’s simply unacceptable that we haven’t gotten a modern take where she’s like a true crime podcast or vampire fanfic girlie
