An oral report in front of the whole PTA
New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.

Googled the Princeton-legacy Princeton professor who wrote that bad piece about generative AI in the New Yorker to try to figure out what his deal is and this 2001/2025 before-and-after makes for a real capsule history of the 21st century so far

NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.
In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.

Just a reminder that most of Trump's executive orders are nothing more than press releases.
After he ordered the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to pull funding for NPR and PBS, the CPB responded that it is authorized and funded by Congress and is not subject to the president's authority.

![WASHINGTON, D.C, (May 2, 2025) — Patricia Harrison, President and CEO of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), issued the following statement today regarding the President’s Executive Order on public media:
“CPB is not a federal executive agency subject to the President’s authority. Congress directly authorized and funded CPB to be a private nonprofit corporation wholly independent of the federal government.
“In creating CPB, Congress expressly forbade ‘any department, agency, officer, or employee of the United States to exercise any direction, supervision, or control over educational television or radio broadcasting, or over [CPB] or any of its grantees or contractors…’ 47 U.S.C. § 398(c).”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kjjhbsc3pp3vkqjsivk6z2yd/bafkreie7ky7hw4h6fcaqa6fkkqdyhg6czlebc2udp6fbbsjah4eoj7qg2y@jpeg)

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD

If you have non-perishable goods and can give them, that’s certainly better than nothing, but what usually ends up happening is everyone gives the same things and then we have like 100 cans of beans to give out

I saw advice to buy extra cans of food when you’re at the grocery store to donate to the food bank.
I want to politely nudge you to give the money directly to food banks (or to mutual aid groups if you know of any).
We can usually stretch a dollar farther than a dollar’s worth of canned goods

An image that has stuck with me since the last Trump presidency when his administration proposed cuts to the NEA, NEH, and public broadcasting. You can't save money by cutting these programs, but you can cause immeasurable harm.

The EO that included restoring monuments/memorials on federal property is a full-on embrace of Confederate ideology. Beginning Monday @uncpress.bsky.social will make my book No Common Ground available to read FOR FREE for the next two weeks. Educate yourself about what this embrace means. ✊
