This very disappointing coverage prompts two questions: 1. In the picture you posted, why were the children's faces not blurred out? 2. Why did you describe the deceased teacher as trans? How/why is that relevant?

But if she's read either of David Niven's wonderful memoirs (The Moon's a Balloon and Bring on the Empty Horses), she may not be. Then again, both books are out of print so she probably is.

I wish we could see the same thing in reverse about the number of people leaving X. What a joy it was to rid myself of that toxic place.

You should also read @vermontgmg.bsky.social (Garrett Graff's) "When the Sea Came Alive -- an Oral History of D-Day".
