I listed these two antique books, published in 1822. Ideal for someone who wants to decorate with old, visibly worn editions of Ovid's Metamorphoses. They are almost 200 years old.

I just started leading a literacy program at the Cuyahoga Juvenile Detention Center.

All of them could read the to me the passages assigned to them.
None of them could tell me what it meant.
All of them failed comprehension prechecks.
I will leave this here because these people described in this video are becoming more and more frequent

People are using GoFundMe for groceries.

GoFundMe has 250k pages for medical bills and 40k for tuition.

Americans are fundraising for basic necessities, while the top 1% increased their wealth to $52 trillion.

This is what a rigged system designed by the wealthy looks like.

One of my neighbors keeps complaining to the city that I grow sunflowers in my front yard instead of ugly grass lawn. She's gonna love next summer. I'm gonna buy a couple 20lb bag of the sunflower seeds for giving to birds and spread it out in the field behind my house so we will have a forest.

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day, here's the statue in Puerto Rico depicting the drowning of conquistador Diego Salcedo by the indigenous Taíno people.

According to legend, his death resulted in the outbreak of the Taíno rebellion of 1511 against the Spaniards.

Another fact - while the Taíno were historically considered and recorded as extinct by Spanish colonial authorities in the early 19th century, modern scholars disagree with this and regard this as nothing more than a fiction to erase them from history as part of the Taíno genocide

When I was in 11th grade I took AP history with a man who looked like Santa but who quietly assigned us firsthand accounts of historical atrocities, ostensibly to teach us about primary sources. Anyway the worst thing I read by a long shot was an account of Columbus meeting the Taíno.

Today, I'd like to say-

The Taino were the people of Borinquen. Borinquen was later renamed to Puerto Rico.

Some Taino words remain today.

Words like hurakán = hurricane, barbacoa = barbeque.

The Taino greeting is

Taino-ti

Which means - "I greet you with love because you are family."

Israelis want to colonize a land that, thanks to bombing it flat, is too toxic to inhabit now.

Non-verbal, like low functioning, is a term should definitely be rethought. Thanks for writing!

Thanks for all the thoughtful comments, everyone! J has also written a haunting piece about how vulnerable non-speakers are when they are not taught to type and cannot self advocate.

The Stereotypes Killing Us Nonspeaking Autistics
Another autistic person was left to cook alive in a hot vehicle. Far too often, the so-called normal world treats us as disposable.

Almost all autistic ppl may have functionally impactful movement difficulties (pervasive, requiring conscious attention), often more than people than a neurodivergence defined by them (dyspraxia); autistic ppl without a dyspraxia diagnosis may tend to have as many motor problems as those w/ one. 13/

1. In a groundbreaking lawsuit, fencer Dinah Yukich has become the first to our knowledge to sue an entity for capitulating to Trump's anti-trans executive orders in violation of state nondiscrimination law.

This kind of lawsuit could have huge ripple effects.

I should be working but I actually just want to scream but at the same time I do not have the energy for making all that noise and movement. Screaming internally while sitting still will have to do.

Here is a photo of the antifa captain I report to. His name is Kenneth and back in the day he went all the way to Italy to kill fascists. One day he was driving a jeep with his antifa buddies and they got blown up. He had shrapnel in his back that left scars for life. Antifa forever.

In case you were wondering why the incorrect rumor of “trans activist” and “fascist symbols” on ammo started, it’s because arrows and initials are common ways manufacturers stamp ammo.
