Reading Rainbow emphasis is encouraging kids to read. The focus is not on teaching them to read. The mission is reading should be fun!
We are all readers, worthy of literacy. LeVar Burton said “but you don’t have to take my word for it” because he wanted us to look to the books. That’s the beauty 💚

The race towards the middle after the Kirk shooting is disheartening! People getting shot is terrible full stop. But he was a Nazi. He promoted violence. I will not choose to canonize him.

I'm really having trouble processing the relative silence from Barack Obama about a colleague who he'd hosted at the White House, the Minnesota State House Speaker, being assassinated, but rushing to get out a weepy statement about Charlie fucking Kirk.

Manipulating media and language on the other platform in the wake of yesterday to demonize the trans community is vile and violent.
This was a devastating blow to our community. Still mourning.

Hardly anything could be dirtier & grimier than a relatively small group, hundreds of city residents, gathering in an auditorium to decide a local DFL endorsement. Except a committee of outstate bigwigs overturning that endorsement bc their guy needed it bad. That seems dirtier.

Good wolves season! I’m in Italy so this is a bookmark essentially. I like our team and any crashouts are laughable. Like, we lost to a 68 win team with a historic defense and overachieved. It’s fine, in TC we trust. Great learning experience for Ant!
