My mom asked if I could take my dog for a car ride instead of giving her a walk.
I don't know how to explain that my dog isn't trying to get to a specific destination as quickly as possible

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic.
It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today.
Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +

While cleaning out my grandparents' things, I found notes from my Grandpa tracking his new medications and symptoms. I didn't know he liked to doodle in the margins. These pages look a lot like the ones in my notebooks.

Our broken child care system can learn a lot from New Mexico - the state that is leading the way in guaranteeing free child care for all.
There is no better rate of return than investing in our children.
The rest of the country should follow New Mexico’s lead.

It remains wild to me that during the first trump administration there was a long debate over terminology after AOC (correctly) called border internment "concentration camps" and now having concentration camps is a core domestic policy.
The purpose of that stupid debate was to normalize the idea.

The 5th Investigators book "Braver and Boulder" By John Patrick Green feels like a conclusive ending to the series, but there are more books after this for me to check out and read from the library.
The series is fun and witty, and this book alludes to challenges with PTSD

‘Some kids don’t really have anyone to talk to or trust.’ Chill rooms fill that gap in Western Pa.
There are 50 chill rooms in K-12 schools across Allegheny, Washington, Bedford and Erie counties — scaled up from just two when the Allegheny Health Network’s (AHN) Chill Project launched in 2019.

We returned to the library the 4th book in the Investigators series by John Patrick Green. Filled with witty and whimsical wordplay, this book is about facing our fear, guilt, and shame and moving to a place of self-compassion and forgiveness. Also, there are giant ants.

In other words, if you're non-white, ICE/CBP will assume you are a non-citizen until you can prove otherwise, and they won't accept your Real ID as proof of citizenship.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.
