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.

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."

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/

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.
