2/2 Hibiscus, rose, fig. When we get to school you turn your still-freckled face upward to mine like a flower toward the sun and give me a hug. I love you mama I love you too sweet darling. And off you go, penguin stuffy clutched tight, and you don’t look back. 🩵

Thoughts after school drop off: On this gorgeous late summer day, despite the ugliness in the world and the work- so much work- there is to do, I will choose to remember: Walking to school hand in hand, pointing out the colorful fire hydrant, naming the trees and plants we walk by… 1/2

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

If you need to read an inspirational story about four women (and others) who resisted fascism in Italy, I recommend Women of War by @suzannecope.bsky.social

A book cover titled: Women of War - The Italian Assassins, Spies, and Couriers Who Fought The Nazis
Suzanne Cope Author of Power Hungry
There is a photo of two women dark clothing resembling uniforms. One has a weapon on her lap and the other has a weapon slung over her shoulder with a cigarette in her left hand.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Horrifying, but NYT fails to mention the sculptor's ties to the KKK and also the desecration this monument represents to the Lakota Sioux at what had been a sacred site. These facts should be part of the conversation whenever we talk about this monument. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

It's not just work requirements-much of the bill adds pointless burdens. As we argue in the NYT, "Republicans are opting for opaque cuts, which will shed millions of eligible beneficiaries by overwhelming them with pointless paperwork and other needlessly complicated administrative requirements."

I appreciate that Erwin gets near the end to the blatant Byrd Rule problem with the provision. I think it's extremely likely to drop out of the bill in the Senate on Byrd grounds.

Not rejecting them, but putting them on hold without saying why or if they'll ever be reviewed. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...
