The Heavy Medal Book List: The Final 15

Some things the Trump administration have done are more frustrating than others. Firing the Librarian of Congress is very, very high on my list. It makes me angry and hurts my heart.

WITNESS

Hope laced up her boots
this morning,
grabbed her sign
and marched down Main Streets
from coast to coast,
to drown out every vestige
of despair, distress, and fear
by shouting
louder than loud:
I. AM. HERE.

No offense, but in case you weren't aware--AI art is for robots, lazies, and the unimaginative, and is disrespectful to anyone in any artistic trade. Please no and thank you. ✌️

Hi friend! I am also on Bluesky now! And I would love to stay in touch. The family pictures you post always make me smile—and I love seeing the things my favorite student teachers have gone on to do!

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin in his farewell address: "You know, I was taught at West Point to pray that I would 'choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.' And I have tried every day as Secretary to live up to that teaching."

It's a prayer for America right now.

Yeah! Another person I know on Bluesky! I’m just learning my way around here!

So….my student loans that were forgiven in March are now “unforgiven” and there is magically $20,000 in interest tacked on—apparently interest that accrued while they were in forbearance (which means they aren’t supposed to accrue interest.) pending litigation. Thank you Donald.
