As a kid, I was devastated that her privacy was violated. I hurt for her. None of the adults agreed with me. It was my first memory of being different. But it was also when my grandmother told me that you should never write down what you don’t want the world to read. Both lessons stuck with me.
"Harriet the Spy" is beloved as a story about a girl with agency, talent & gender nonconformity. It is underappreciated as an urban story.

Two victims of previous school shootings — Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.

This paper contains some good arguments about an issue that concerns me a lot when I hear my colleagues talking about LLM use in developing their research:
Whose ideas are you presenting as your own?
(Though the fatalist argument the authors make at the end of paper is disappointing/bizarre.)

Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Donald Trump promised almost a year ago that he'd "take care" of rebuilding after the Los Angeles firestorms, but survivors are still waiting for him to officially ask Congress for relief.
It's long past time for Trump to wake up and do his job.
