I'm curious: how far down the presidential succession list will we have to go to find humanity, though?

Brings some nostalgia, thinking about waking up on a Sunday morning and heading to the table for breakfast and reading the FULL COLOR(!) *FOUR* page(!) "funnies" while eating breakfast with my parents...
Small pleasures from my childhood that probably have been completely phased out of modern life.

We need the best educated workforce in the world.
We need the best teachers in the world.
We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do.
No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

Alito and Thomas are absolute shitbags
BREAKING: SCOTUS orders the government not to remove from the country, for the time being, any of the individuals slated for possible deportation to El Salvador. The vote is apparently 7-2, with Justices Thomas and Alito in dissent

This. Don't teach me a "rule," assign, grade, and test me on its use, and then just tell me I shouldn't use it.
Surround yourself with the kind of people who treat the Oxford comma like the wondrous beauty that it is.

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming?
Both. It's both.

I wish you could see
The electricity
That shoots through my veins
When I walk in a room
And you smile at me

The electricity
That shoots through my veins
When I walk in a room
And you smile at me

Don't let anyone dim your shine.
Be proud of your accomplishments.
Feel good about what you're wearing.
Or not wearing at all.
Love things with your whole heart and let others see your joy.
Laugh loudly.
Life is too short to dampen your twinkle for anyone.

But I have no problem understanding
That the ink has no sound to be heard
Ink, in one way or another, is always transferred.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

I yearn for the days of the pencil
When we wrote secret notes
Folding them into origami diaries
To be passed to our friends across rows
Back before T9 replaced the Ticonderoga
and spellcheck was a dictionary
When characters were limited
Only by the lead in your BIC

Spring break officially began 21 hours ago; I have wild plans of ruining my sleep schedule, playing video games, cuddling my pup & (~bitch~) cat, & having time to participate in #BlueSkyRelay!
Today's prompt; #Jam
Try it if you're even slightly tempted; it's turned out to be a favorite for me!
