Today is Election Day in the 7th congressional district in Tennessee. Vote for Democratic candidate Aftyn Behn. Tell anyone you know who lives there to get out and vote. This is a must-win step toward taking back Congress and saving democracy.

This is an interesting as heck thread and my take from it both as an adult educator and as a parent of a disabled child is a little bit agreement--a lot of adults don't want to engage!--and my kid, while at grade reading level, is in an intervention course. He gets assistance with essays but
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

99% of Discourse could be avoided if people simply accepted that multiple things can be true at the same time, and often are. The universe isn't divided neatly into heroes and villains. Humans are messy and complicated. Everyone always thinks they're the good guy, no matter how awful they are.

one of the things about doing Thanksgiving at my inlaws which, while we have our problems, (like how they treat my autistic kid), they aren't republicans and won't be praising Trump. Trashing him more likely. None of them, not even extended fam. So thats one problem down.
