Every year in my weird class about stories, the students pick their favorite at the end of the term. This year's runaway winner was "Jerry's Crab Shack, One Star," by Gwen E. Kirby.
Much love too for Jade Jones and Senaa Ahmad.

Anecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention?
