Of all the things that have never happened, white people apologizing for being white has never happened the most.

Do less social media and your reading skyrockets. I went for 3-4 books a year to 15-20 just by intentionally not spending so much time scrolling.
I am both super excited about exploring these titles, and dumbfounded that there is time enough to thoughtfully read so many books, in one year, that you can cull a list of twenty great ones. I struggle to read 3 or 4 in a year! I need to reevaluate my life choices!

What this underscores is a fundamental truth that while none of the rest of us need supremacists in our spaces, and are just fine without them, supremacists need the rest of us or they collapse against each other. Without them we're fine. Without us they've got nothing.
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Anyone who has cared for an aging parent knows, that the person is usually the last to know when they are slowing up and losing their faculties.
Most others have loved ones to care for them. Not so for this one.

My experience as well. So far we're 2-for-2 on kids having a largely bullying/abuse-free middle school experience. Not without bumpy spots of course, but light years away from what I endured.
My hot take: the anti-bullying stuff has really worked, which is why conservatives are pushing back at it.

for what it’s worth I got roped into helping out with my sixth grader’s extracurricular thing so I’ve had more recent contact with middle schoolers who aren’t mine than I usually do, and biased sample/biased reviewer/etc but my verdict is that the kids are all right
