I will not shop at @publixofficial.bsky.social.

As a private business, Publix has the right to reject guns being openly carried in their stores but they decided it's a good idea.

Publix to allow open carry in Florida stores, prompting mixed reactions from shoppers

Under Florida law, businesses and private property owners can choose whether to allow or ban open carry on their premises.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery… and a good excuse to remind you that these books are still being banned across the country.

Censorship, especially when it seeks to erase truths and stories that matter, is a threat to our democracy and our humanity.

Not talking about climate change or our emissions won’t solve the problem. This will only prevent us from lowering energy prices, ensuring clean air and water, and curbing the dangerous effects of climate change (which is real, by the way).

Energy Dept. adds ‘climate change’ and ‘emissions’ to banned words list

It is the latest in a series of Trump administration efforts to dispute, silence or downplay climate change.

School biology, for Gurdon, though, was not about “why” but “what”: it was a memory exercise. Out of 250 pupils, Gurdon came 250th. He was kicked out of the course.
