Here's the thing: most books that are banned don't make the lists that get circulated each #BannedBooksWeek. If you're a book creator and your book gets banned, please respond to this post with your book and its buy link on bookshop.org. That way we can support indies and banned books 💛

Access to Special Ed should not depend on effective parent advocacy: "When schools rely on parents to push for services using sophisticated advocacy skills, that widens inequities for children whose caregivers lack time, resources or English proficiency." www.the74million.org/article/why-...

Why Access to Special Education Depends Too Much on Parents
Richards: The biggest predictor of whether children receive special education services shouldn't be how effectively their parents can advocate.

A four-panel webcomic edited into a meme format.

Panel 1: A man in a red shirt stands with his arms outstretched at the edge of a flat planet, saying into a speech bubble, "I've had enough of this stupid chronic illness".

Panel 2: The man leaps off the side into outer space.

Panel 3: He falls through space, leaving behind the flat land labeled "CHRONIC ILLNESS".

Panel 4: He lands face-first with a "DONK" sound effect onto another flat planet below, labeled "ANOTHER CHRONIC ILLNESS".

A family member now cares for him while I work at a job I'm very overqualified for because I have an employment gap. She gets paid for 16 hours a week and free rent with us. If she wants to do something else no one else is going to do that and I would have to quit my job again.

I stayed home with my son for 10 years because there was no other option. After applying 3 times he was finally approved for DDA and 5 hours a week of caregiver hours. Had Medicaid the whole time. 1 1/2 years ago his approved hours went up to 16 hours a week.

Yes, you need money for that

Plain @plainjayne.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
And then you get approved for 6 hours a week because they expect parents to be the caregiver. It's not really helpful in most situations, especially for single parents of disabled children.

Sometimes, when someone dies, what helps me is thinking about how wonderful it is that they were even alive in the first place. Dolly was the closest you could get to an American saint. We all loved her.
