She was a bus driver who answered questions from a curious 5th grader. A decade later, they reconnected — as colleagues | CNN
Though Sam Mencimer didn’t know it at the time, all those moments with his favorite bus driver, Joy Kenley – the never-ending questions, the bus depot tour – would have a lasting impact on his life.

AND supporting your local library is super important! If you actually DO want books to be available to everyone, the library *already exists* and is staffed by the people who are deep in the trenches of fighting censorship! Supporting the library is doing actual good for your community!

For like the zillionth time: Libraries are FREE for you, but WE still get compensated for our work!!

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

Do you remember when a car crashed into @columbuslibrary.bsky.social Parsons through a glass wall?
The next day, staff worked with plywood covering the broken wall & w/out reassurance about the structural integrity of the building.

Columbus offers several utility discount programs to help make water and power services more affordable for qualifying households. If you or someone you know could benefit, take a moment to learn what support is available and how to apply.

11 years ago today, 12 year old Tamir Rice was gunned down by police officers on Cleveland’s west side.
The officer shot him within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in.
Tamir’s life mattered. It still does. My thoughts are with his family today.

This institutionalism is, in part, historical. ... In 1912, voters passed the city’s first charter, which switched the model from ward-based to fully at-large. In order to run city-wide, candidates would need substantially more resources than previously required.

Marigold, welcome to @thewaroncars.bsky.social
I grow frustrated with local news-- by focusing so much on stories of violence, they inadvertently promote the idea that the world is more violent than it is (leading voters to candidates who promise security at all costs).
