The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

The bad news: Many people don’t get enough iron in their diet.
The good news: One ounce of dark chocolate has 3.37 mg of iron

Sorry guys, you’ll get your daily allotment with 2.5.

#Neurodivergents are necessary and our presence in the human family is essential to human survival. We are humanity’s problem solvers, creative thinkers and solution finders.We are not a mistake, nor the result of vaccines or ‘wrong humans.’ We are no more than 10% of the population.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
