Going to a major event this weekend, the first since The Color of Fire was released, a few days later will do a book reading. I've chosen the chapter, Two Hours. It's intense, we'll see how it is received.

GOP wants to bring "more" young women into their fold? They'll have to convince young women they don't want to mute them, lock them up, prey upon/kill them (a tough sale right there), ignore them, and/or require them to grow their hair in long curly locks and destroy their lips with botox.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

When will enough be enough or will it ever even happen?

Recent findings:
It seems at many oil change, even car mechanic places, there is a shortage of employees who know how to drive a manual vehicle.
It seems that many young grocery store produce staff think "new potatoes" are the ones just delivered "by the truck." (Hint, that's not what they are).
