Rereading Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and I found this cute little note in the book that I had left the last time I read it. The text reads, "From broad neck to buttocks so bulky and thick" and I added, "You knew in a moment it must be St. Nick!" 😂

I normally don't give Republican politicians' memoirs more than a passing glance, but I just fell through a Wikipedia rabbit hole and ended up reading about Laura Bush and... she's really interesting?! How did this librarian from Texas end up marrying THAT guy? I might need to read her book. 🤔
!["November 6, 1963 ^(Wednesday)
In Midland, Texas, 17-year old Laura Welch, who would later marry George W. Bush and become the First Lady upon his inauguration as President of the United States, ran a stop sign at the intersection of Farm to Market Road 868 and Big Spring Street, and crashed into the side of a car driven by one of her classmates at Robert E. Lee High School, 17-year old Michael Dutton Douglas. Laura Bush would finally write about the accident after her husband left office, in her 2010 memoir, Spoken from the Heart, recounting that she and her friend were hurrying to a drive-in movie. [28] Douglas, whose neck was broken, died at the local hospital.[29][30][31]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mapl3c4ngugbbbfphknhq43x/bafkreidr5nk3xoiqufdp5xopj4hh3x53umtzuhmum5gx3chldxnsvfehai@jpeg)

I read (but unfortunately never finished) his book "Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy," which is mostly about his various mental illnesses. It was an interesting read -- I just didn't finish it because I got distracted. 😅

There are no services in America for disabled people who are being abused to get help for themselves. The few services that do exist have wording on their websites that remove autonomy from the disabled person, and treat us like objects instead of people. For example:

This Time article is really confusing me. "Good teachers... know the number of children in their nursery"? Is this a colloquial phrase I don't know?

Now would be a good time for people to read "Our Time is Now" by Stacey Abrams. It's about steps we can take to ensure fair elections.
