I've never really written a rondeau before, but it felt perfect for this theme. It's a poem inspired by the story Faithful Johannes by the Brothers Grimm, as well as @adamgidwitz.bsky.social re-telling of it in his amazing book "A Tale Dark and Grimm"

Just started listening to Max in the Land of Lies by the amazing @adamgidwitz.bsky.social, and I am only 50 minutes in and already I know it’s going to be a hard listen given the times we are living in…highly suggest everyone read/listen this and its first volume…

"I told them some of what the Nazis believed: that they hat­ed Jews, immi­grants, non-white, LGBTQ+, and dis­abled peo­ple. Pret­ty much any­one who wasn’t a Nazi. The nods fad­ed. The kids’ faces began to look uncom­fort­able and upset..." Must read essay by @adamgidwitz.bsky.social
They Had Never Heard of the Holocaust
They had never heard of the Holocaust. I was standing in front of four hundred and fifty kids— fourth, fifth, and sixth graders—in Phoenix, Arizona.

Max in the Land of Lies by @adamgidwitz.bsky.social was just as great as Max in the House of Spies. I was enraptured as I followed Max on his grand adventure in Germany as a child spy for England. Read these two books if you need historical fiction with fantasy during World War II.

We are ONE WEEK away from school board Election Day in Texas. Texans--get informed and keep extremists off of your boards.
Today’s Texas School Board Race of the Day is in Humble ISD, which is home to the BLT Guide’s Worst Candidate of 2025. (That’s saying something!) That candidate is Tracy Shannon, running for the Place 4 spot, who claims responsibility for the removal of more than 1000 books from the district.
Hey, Texas. Let’s take our f-ing school boards back. Early voting starts tomorrow. Let’s go! franklinstrong.substack.com/p/lets-take-...
