Every time people try to talk about their #over/under experience, I flashback to Milliways and being just as mystified from the outside as it consumed half my friends list.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Haverford’s approach to student self-governance is one of the most moving things I was a part of as a young person becoming an adult, and one I carried out into the world with me proudly. The imperfections in the system were acknowledged with the call toward bettering the system and ourselves.
“Haverford College seeks to take a restorative approach to conflict rather than a retributive one. Retribution is punishment; restoration is repair.”
Toward a University of Repair - Public Books
What was so unique about Haverford College that it was worth mocking in a Congressional hearing?

My ability to think of a work task that needs to be done and forget it instantly as soon as my eyes focus on something else is truly, truly incredible. Still don’t know what I forgot! Pretty sure I need to do it quick!

My job doesn’t actually pay me enough to live on (hence the other two jobs I have), but it DOES let me be a goofy teaching artist and make dumb jokes with kids so that they excitedly wave at me when they see me in the halls, and the thing is, that’s SO GOOD.

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS
Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark
Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap
The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name
He did this six times
Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

I'm going to need for everyone to make prayer circles to keep snow away on Saturdays in January, because those are going to be my training shifts to be a volunteer at the horse rescue. Horses!! Finally! Again!!

S5 of Babylon 5 is often rocky as JMS scrambled to account for a multitude of unexpected changes behind the scenes (including having a S5 at all). But in all the reshuffling, JMS built in time for an extended leave-taking as characters got to bid each other goodbye in parallel to the audience.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that when you are at the eye doctor and they ask you to try to control your blinking during a test, suddenly, nothing in the WORLD matters more than your need to blink as much as possible.

It rules to already see folks have backed at the level for other creators who have used PbtA in their games- what a fantastic legacy that rewards an entire community.

I feel lucky that I live in a place that isn't perfect, but keeps its eyes open. The county-led employment center that shares our office building started a special initiative to help federal workers find income sources a few weeks ago, and today, the center is running community food distribution.

When I saw my aunt down in South Carolina this summer, she had truly given up hope that anyone but the worst people could be elected, that the whole country hadn’t turned its back on becoming its better self. She couldn’t even talk about it, her despair ran so deep, couldn’t be talked into hope.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

You ever see cover art and go, oh hey look, it’s just like back home? I mean, the vampires were always more metaphorical but you can’t say they weren’t around.
