I think there is room for laptops or other devices as assistive technology (even my mild motor and spatial disabilities would have been helped by access to technologies which didn't then exist), but again, that should come with clear standards and controls.

"This space is an important part of the community," says City's spokesperson. So important that literally no one but the church had used or tended it since approximately 1890.

As a Christian myself, I'm pretty confident that God can look after Godself, and doesn't need me protecting or saving them.

That Eric Trump believes he can "save God" is an exceptional piece of heresy (which, I mean, so is the racism, but the "I will save God" is quite something).

I seem to remember "the merchants of the earth" and a bunch of other rich people being in that book. I don't think they were the heroes.

Ah, Prayer 1. I've avoided it for years, but there are a number of ways I've heard it fixed. Prayer 3 also needs a fix, but an even easier one ("children" for "sons and daughters"). For what it's worth, these modifications are officially recommended in the diocese of Toronto.

Some of that was because the middle school was further from my home so I couldn't go home at lunch. And it was a bigger building with more students, more places to beat people up, fewer adult eyes on things.

I have to say, grades 7-8 were where the torment and bullying really peaked, at a level that almost destroyed me. Elementary was difficult, high school was pretty bad, but 7-8 were the worst years of my life bar none. It wasn't till university that I really started to feel human.
