In historic first, Texas House approves private school voucher program
The bill would let families use taxpayer dollars for their children’s private schooling. Lawmakers also signed off on a sweeping $7.7 billion package to boost public school funding.

Some lawmakers want to put vouchers on the ballot this November.
We are still #NoOnVouchers no matter what, but if the #TxLege can’t defeat a billionaire-backed push to weaken Lone Star State public schools, then the voters will.

Abbott is airing a pro-voucher panel on TV. It’s a perfect plan because Texas public education workers can’t afford live TV thanks to him.

For insects that glow, artificial light is killing the vibe
Recent research shows how artificial light can disrupt courtship among glow-worms and fireflies that rely on bioluminescence to find mates.

I urge everyone to call your state legislator to let them know you’re against vouchers and any legislation that takes money from our public schools. And instead, do right by our educators and children and fully fund our public schools.

After 23 hours of hearing testimony. I would like to thank all the people that waited hours to express their concerns on HB3. We will continue to fight for public education and fully fund public schools.

I bought a statue of two frogs laughing and drinking wine for my yard and it arrived broken. Twice. So today I glued the frog back on that bench because I knew it would just arrive broken again. If this isn’t a metaphor for America I don’t know what is.

I called my dad to discuss my impending unemployment and his suggestion was that I should apply for disability. Also I can live with him but not with five cats. I suggested a shed in the backyard and he cited zoning laws. I think he thinks I’m joking.
