All because seeing a rainbow made Greg Abbott mad. What a ridiculous hill to die on.
A crosswalk honoring Buddy Holly with a painted depiction of the rock and roll legend's iconic glasses will have to be removed from his hometown of Lubbock, Texas.

Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

Yesterday, I pleaded not guilty to the charges that Trump’s DOJ has hit me with in federal court.
This administration is targeting me because they can see that I’ve spoken out against them and will continue to stand up to them.

I think Margaret Cho was right in her post. He is dying and he’s going to do as much damage as possible on his way out. Meanwhile, his people in the background are robbing us blind and making us less healthy and safe in the process.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Why are children’s books so important? Co-author of the “The 1619 Project: Born on the Water” Renée Watson has the answer. “Reading is a form of listening” and listening to others’ stories is crucial #Velshi #VelshiBannedBookClub
Velshi Banned Book Club: “The 1619 Project: Born on the Water” co-authored by Renée Watson & illustrated by Nikkolas Smith
By reframing U.S. history by placing the realities of slavery at the center of it, Nikole Hannah-Jones’ landmark initiative “The 1619 Project” offers answers to questions of identity, belonging, and origin for Black Americans. But what about for Black children? Today’s Velshi Banned Book Club meeting will examine the children’s adaptation called “The 1619 Project: Born on the Water”. Lyrically written with beautiful illustrations, “Born on the Water” tells the story of a young girl who receives a family tree assignment in school. The rest, as they say, is history. Co-author Renée Watson & illustrator by Nikkolas Smith join the Velshi Banned Book Club.

Highlight of this week’s classroom presentations to grade 5s about the library was when one boy stood up and told me everything I was saying was “too good to be true” and that “That can’t all possibly be free”. Thanks for the great advertising, kid!

Nine posts in September to my blog. A mixed bag of genres: poetry, a prose poem, dream journal/nightmare, Quick Response to what I’m reading, a memoir/family history. an average of every three days or so is not so bad. I even submitted to two different lit magazines, a rarity in my writing process.
