An orange bowl of Halloween candy sits on a gray stoop step. It's filled with copies of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower and has a note taped to it that says "one copy per child thx"

you know

rhea ripley stands in the foreground, framed by a wrestling ring and studio lights. her figure is purple with light cream accents on jewelry, and she raises her hands above herself and sticks her tongue out. "rhea ripley" is in pink and orange text pushed back behind her and the lime green studio lights.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats.

Version of original on left, updated on right:

Thank you for your email. There is a temporary shutdown of the U.S. government due to a lapse in appropriations. I will respond to your message as soon as possible after the temporary shutdown ends. Please visit ED.gov for the latest information on the
Department's operational status.
Thank you.

Thank you for contacting me. On September 19, 2025, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5371, a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations. Due to the lapse in appropriations I am currently in furlough status. I will respond to emails once government functions resume.
