"O, let America be America again—
The land that never has been yet—
And yet must be—the land where every man is free."

I'd been talking with my main partner at school about how we'd love to learn how to use Minecraft. Then lo and behold, our principal let us know we are both getting training in Minecraft, largely so we can teach the elective class our school offers. Woo hoo! Sometimes times work out.

This is starting on Saturday. It's about time I read a Toni Morrison novel. Come join the discussion!
I haven’t read Beloved since I was a teenager in a survey of American Lit class! I’m so excited and nervous to read it with you all and @marcusluther.bsky.social. Join us here to discuss, laugh, cry, wonder, and share!
