Since they've already attempted to erase women's history in the military, this is my plug to support the Military Women's Memorial. It is not a government entity, but needs your support to carry on their mission. Please donate if you can. My grandmother was a charter member.

And that’s why my kids won’t get anywhere near it. My son is a senior and has no interest in going there.

The administrators of Ohio State University seem to be fighting to be the strongest enemies of free speech and the most craven panderers to bigotry of any American university. Whatever you think about land acknowledgments before presentations, banning them is evil, cowardly, and petty.

We are smashing the teenage boy stereotype right here right now.

Hot take: Ultimately, it’s not gonna be book banning or censorship that kills public libraries.

It’s gonna be capitalism.

Is it me or has this gotten SO much worse lately? And it’s not just one genre, either.

Oh look Gimenez was hit by a pitch.

Glad to see some things never change.

There are very few books I’m not willing to wait for via the public library but this is one of them. Just picked her up at the local bookstore. Thanks for writing it @johnubacon.bsky.social.

Book cover of “Thr Gales of November: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald by John U. Bacon.

I love them both but Travis and Patrick look like they’re running a traveling medicine show in the Great Depression

So found out today that Ohioans are indeed being forced to pay a poll tax!!!! The "free state ids" needed for voting are actually costing $13!! You have to pay a processing fee🙄
Ohio Republicans suck. And I also think they cheat more than we know

Our purchasing department shared this news with us a few weeks ago. They did not mince words in telling us we (front-line public library workers) are going to need to work hard to temper the public’s expectations.

I'm watching my third AFC North game of the day and it's not for the faint of heart, y'all.

Bengals-fan husband: "Can they not pick up another QB?"

Me: You want Shedeur?

Husband: Sure, whatever.

For homecoming, one of my daughter’s moms had a bunch of girls over afterwards for a party. Our school always does a big afterprom party after prom in the spring.

The dance is an afterthought and the least important thing of the night. My kids said no one even really dances and they don’t stay long. Going out to eat before, pics, and afterparty are where it’s at.
