For a high school AP English assignment about extended metaphor, I wrote about the progression of my grandfather's neurodegenerative disease and the Skylab space station's demise. It was...fine. It was also a HIGH SCHOOL WRITING ASSIGNMENT and not, say, a choice I'd employ as a professional journo 🤷🏽♀️

Regs would allow EdSec to cancel PSLF eligibility for orgs that have a "substantial illegal purpose," as defined by...this admin. This definition could affect folks at universities, immigration orgs, health care providers, but likely more. Read thread, consider acting:

Short 🧵 1/n
The proposed changes to Public Service Loan Forgiveness Regs are out, and it is pretty clear that they are coming for colleges and immigration orgs staff's ability to receive PSLF
Some early first read thoughts.

Seeking book recs on Hawaiian history. I'm seeing bios of Ka'ahumanu and Kamehameha, but would love a non-bio with a wider lens too. Esp interested in pre-unification, pre-Cook--like before 1770s? Would also love recs for anything about women in the battle of Nu'uanu. #books #hawaii
