My mother once embarked on a very elaborate prank where she steamed off stamps from letters my grandpa sent home from England during WWII and created a whole set of "letters from Ringo" that she fooled her classmates with.

My kids were explaining "performative" to me last night, which was very amusing.

I guess saying it like this is deeply uncool.

Happy #BannedBooksWeek. If you love libraries and hate censorship, I'd encourage you to do more than just read a banned book this week. Here are a few ideas:
1. Get involved in your local public library board
2. Join or start a friends group
3. Organize a people's assembly for your public library
