Just like Paul Revere warned of danger, I’m here to shout: Cyber attacks are coming! Actually, they’re already here.

That’s why I started @pausetake9.bsky.social to help us defend against cyber attacks that could disrupt life as we know it. #JointhePause at bit.ly/Take9-PaulRe... #Take9

I've gotten a lot of wedding invitations over the site’s 30 years. I like that.

30 years of craigslist: missed connections

Okay, pretty much everyone has met someone, and didn't share contact info.

Sometimes they post something on craigslist missed connections.

Sometimes it works. Sometimes it's just fun.

If you can remember some of yours...

I am a nyc teacher and my school uses a tiger theme for character education. Each month I nominate a Tiger of the Month for showing good character. I would love some tiger plushies, and tiger pens to reward these students. Please repost. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

I never thought I would say this but our school has no soap for students to wash their hands in the restroom.

I have my own bathroom and desperately need soap so that students can wash their hands. Any help is greatly appreciated
