I can never looked at roosters the same after reading Prof. Zakiyyah Iman Jackson's "Becoming Human".
She has a chapter that discusses Mister, the rooster in Beloved, in relation to Paul D.

Never sought a meeting with someone I knew was a pedophile. Never sought to hang out with a pedophile. It's been astonishingly easy for me. How about y'all?
I feel like someone’s gotta say something, so I guess it’s going to be me. I’m 100% certain that I either know, have met, or have sought meetings with people who have done horrible things in their lives, too. How about y’all? Association is not causation, and it's not guilt — of anything. (1/8)

And, if you go to your library, they may have the book available with the DVD of whichever course you'd like if you prefer a physical copy!

Don't sleep on Hoopla & Kanapy as #LanguageLearning apps for a few languages like Spanish, French, Italian, German, Latin, etc.
Both have The Great Courses that teach language & culture via 30min videos. They usually have course book you can download for FREE.
Hoopla has BingePasses.

And audiobooks and maybe magazines? They are such an amazing option for folks and many people don’t know their library has them!
And unlike @libbyapp.com they haven’t inserted ai into their app! Good job Kanaopy and Hoopla! Tell your library that you’d prefer that they offer those options!

And not just the language learning apps, but Kanopy & Hoopla have books, movies, and music in target languages.
Apps tend to perpetuate the notion that there is a single way of speaking or one culture for given language. Need stories and testimonies across geographies, ethnicities, class, etc.

Thank you for the report. San Jose Batman is a pretty well-known advocate for the unhoused in the South Bay. Probably worth including a little background on him in your story.

Rhetorically, 10 / 10.
An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

The details in here are 😲
1. "Combined with his salary and other pay, this netted him a $711,000 paycheck...His pay was almost double that of the chief of police and nearly three times the mayor’s paycheck. His total compensation, including pension and healthcare benefits, was $879,000."

I know this from researching police salaries for a recent paper: many cities have a set of officers taking home more than $500k and they can’t really explain why

oaklandside.org/2026/01/29/o...
One Oakland police officer made $490,000 in overtime. The city can’t find records detailing much of what he did
One OPD officer logged 5,242 total working hours, racking up $490,000 in overtime pay. If he worked more than half of the time in a calendar year, why can't the city tell us what he did?

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
More than 34,000 Minnesotans signed up to be trained as ICED observers with various activist groups in recent weeks, many of them since Jan. 7, when a federal agent shot and killed Renée Good.
Thousands of new ICE watchers hit the streets after two killings
Minnesotans outraged by the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti have signed up in large numbers to monitor and protest ICE with other activists.

One thing about French crime shows, there's a 50/50 chance that the person who is supposed to be investigating the murders is actually the killer. 🤔
