I usually don't stay in bed. but my kids brought me breakfast and the days are feeling heavy. so I stayed and read "In a Time of Violence" by Eavan Boland. her voice reaches across generations, anchoring me in this unsteady moment. her strength reminds me that to love fiercely is to resist fear.

It’s not lost on me that the lawsuit creating the SC districts was to give minority voters in Worcester a voice on who to elect. But for two elections now there hasn’t been a choice on whose represents the “majority-minority” districts.
Interestingly, the majority-minority districts have no challengers (district B-Vanessa Alvarez, and district D-Alex Guardiola). Jermaine Johnson (district F), also does not have a challenger.

Can you imagine being the deputy superintendent of the second largest district in New England–a renowned expert in the field–and a school committee member turns to you and whispers "you better not screw this up" right before she votes to make you superintendent?
So unserious.
