More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

It is March 2, 2025. My plan was to leave the world on March 2, 2024.
What a difference in a year. I still have bad days. But reasons to stay are easier to find each day.
Thankful for family, for friends, for library kids who ARE going to save the world. Once a library kid, always a library kid 💚

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”
There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

If you are married to someone who has ADHD and you don't, here's a phrase that might help you with your spouse: "Map it out for me."
This is what I say to my wife when she goes from one thing to a seeming non sequitur. In her mind, there is a relationship.

Papers are due next week. One of their sources is a hand written journal. Most didn't have their first draft today. Why? They can't read cursive, so they decided not to do it. I write on the whiteboard in cursive. I guess this explains why they don't take notes.
