I need help getting this CRAZY censorship story out!
Last week, admins in Leander ISD emailed teachers telling them to “pause” use of 40 books relating to “DEI” that had previously been curriculum or choice reading activities.
Included on the list? To Kill a Mockingbird. #bookbans #booksky

I’m going to say this louder this time: if you are lying about having a high-risk condition to get a Covid vaccine, all good, do what you want to do BUT show some actual goddamn respect for people who *actually* have that condition and start masking.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

This morning I accidentally dropped a scoop of pink lemonade flavored electrolytes into my coffee instead of unflavored collagen. So while I can say I got out of this week alive, I can't say I did so unscathed.
