We absolutely kill any interest kids might have in Shakespeare by teaching Romeo and Juliet as their first exposure, because the play is not framed to them as the way early modern audiences would have understood it.
Also, because... its not a great play.
Use one of the histories. Works better.

Fucking hell.
Dickens has ALWAYS been unhinged, but this is just... fucking hell.
Fucking ashamed of this man running my city.

What the hell is this? Andre Dickens is completely unhinged

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

Good night my friends -
A short message tonight.
I love you.
Please stay safe and take care of one another.
See you tomorrow.

I mean. Same.

Oh my gods. Same.

This is it, the most unhinged literary opinion. I will be adopting it as fact immediately.

Tomorrow about a third of Perseverance rover staff will be laid off, despite the mission being the penultimate step in a decades long effort to bring samples back from mars.

Reckless, needless budget cuts intended to hinder the pursuit of knowledge.

ALSO. ALSO. Needing us to find Europeans who condemned him for his actions at the time--and there are many! So many! My God so many!--is also some white supremacist bullshit, because the TAINO PEOPLE HE WAS MURDERING CERTAINLY CONDEMNED HIM FOR IT AND THEY WERE HUMAN BEINGS OF HIS TIME TOO.

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

And I think organisers should consider the security of their users when deciding their platforms, especially for sessions like this.

This program has been a drain of resources on META since they vacuumed up everyone from Mixer and BEAM, and it's not the creators fault at all.

Every day it becomes clear that very few individuals, let alone companies, know how to create an environment that allow live content creators to flourish.

Is life often terrible? Yes.
Are there still always people out there going “Let’s make a cool ass thing for other people to see?” Also yes.

this is probably the most wholesome story i’ll ever write
