The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I first read it when I was nine and now it's how my brain works.
Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Seeing this delightful piece of guerrilla art laying on the ground last November pretty much said it all at the time. It's nice to look at it now and feel that maybe change*is* possible.

School districts creating secondary literacy curriculum that doesn’t include novels during a ‘literacy crisis’ is baffling & counterproductive.
Stakeholders: your district doesn’t value your kids’ ability to read and think if their secondary English class is merely test prep.

This is Donut. He wanted to pop out and say hi. Wondering where your personal chauffeur is. Said you can borrow his, if you'd like. 13/10
