Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns.
Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity.
It’s been the plan for decades.

Missouri is 49th in funding for public schools -- 50th in starting teacher pay. We don’t provide public schools with enough for the basics. The state funds just 32% of schools’ budget --residents must pay for the bulk of their local school budget through property taxes. pv4ps.org/public-schoo...
Public schools are the heart of rural Missouri. Don’t defund them with vouchers and charters. - Public Voices For Public Schools
I tell you the story of rural schools because we are in a fight to keep our public schools funded and open in Missouri.

If you don’t have a library card go get one. Even if you don’t plan on using it right away, go get one. Keep our libraries alive.

‘We’ve become distrustful of each other’: Braiding Sweetgrass author Robin Wall Kimmerer on Trump, rural America and resistance.
Her writing grounds me; and also gives me the courage to ask, “How am I complicit in the destruction of nature?”

Greetings! By way of introduction, I’m a writer, particularly about biomimicry but any bit of nature is fair game. Books: Biomimicry & Business: How Companies are Using Nature’s Strategies to Succeed, and included in two anthologies. The most recent, Elementals, has a grand array of nature writers!
