Do more affection than advice.
Your fist is the size of your heart.
Don't let the bastards grind you down.
Rest, sex, art, and kindness are the revolution.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this.

Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.
