Thank you veterans for your service! Also thank you active duty members of the armed forces and federal employees for keeping the country going - for some, with unpaid labor. (Photo is the Jamestown Veteran’s Day ceremony stage setup - so beautiful I had to pull over and snap a photo)

Our middle school just presented us with an IEP with one goal for our kid: learning to raise her hand.

This was not a joke. They presented this seriously, as if they believed this was actually meeting her needs.

…Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

JB Pritzker:
“As Dr. King once said, the arc of the moral Universe is long, but it bends toward justice. Humbly, I would add, it doesn't bend on its own. History tells us we often have to apply force needed to make sure that the arc gets where it needs to go. This is one of those times.”
