Well, I didn't win the random-word-selector Wheel Slam last night at Manchester's Slam Free Or Die, but on the way home, I figured out what I should have done with that word, which was "oak." Great timing, ADHD brain. If I can figure out how to do it, I'll post the result.

New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.

RFK Jr. knows amazingly little about autism
For someone who's been talking about it for so long, the HHS secretary got many basic facts wrong.

It’s important to note this is not and was never about citizenship. It’s about removing diversity and dissent to authoritarian power.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

And—and this part is important—if you feel that you can, you're doing life wrong.
asking a human being to list their accomplishments for the last week is just as absurd as asking an apple to list its accomplishments, or a pigeon, or a statue of a horse. not just because being is an achievement. but because value resists summary. you can’t squeeze the world into a spreadsheet.
