I think people are rooting for leaders who are actively pushing back. I don’t mind a few f-bombs in words or actions from Dem leaders. I think it’s what we need right now.

“Virtually everyone agrees that people are becoming ruder,” Arthur C. Brooks writes. But though you may not be able to fix the broader trends in society, you can—and should—be polite for your own sake.

Book mail! TANGLED LIVES, edited by Teresa Berkowitz (from Tangled Locks Journal), contains a lot of powerful feminist stories. I'm a big fan of the Tangled Locks mission - and I was happy to provide a blurb for this lovely and fierce book! @teresaberkowitz.bsky.social @tangledlockslit.bsky.social
The cover of the book titled Tangled Lives. The top and bottom of the cover are blue. The center is white with black squiggly lines. The word "Tangled" is in stylized blue text, partially overlapping the word "Lives" in heavy black text. The words "edited by Teresa Berkowitz" runs along the bottom.

Cursive was dropped from most schools after Common Core in 2010—but now states like California, Iowa, and Oklahoma are bringing it back. Why? Research links it to stronger reading, spelling and storytelling. theconversation.com/can-learning...

9 million US women (of reproductive age) now live 200+ miles from the nearest abortion clinic. When they need an abortion, they’re forced to navigate not just highways & airports, but also: how to miss work without losing their jobs; who will watch their children; how they'll afford to travel?

Just before the end, was the beginning of the end. We went through the motions, drove our cars to work, bought groceries, educated our children. Violence was seeping into the edges of some people’s lives and drowning others. We felt the dread but didn’t know how prophetic it was.
