Before the combination of low participation and the trunk-or-treat siphoned off most of the door-to-door goers, we used to routinely get some very young mothers or much older siblings trick-or-treating with babies too young to eat candy. They got candy.

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

A busy weekend morning at the library, with story hour, a children's playgroup, crafts workshops, and study groups!

There was also a banned book reading of Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury's cautionary tale about censorship and book burning as a response to the Red Scare.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

I have a modest proposal to address the Bluesky toxicity crisis.

First, we find a big boat.

Second? We get it stuck in a canal.

They picked up Sesame Street, too, so I already have to keep them as long as that lasts.

Even the ppl I hate are still ppl and I want them to have full rights as such. I also want them to come to a bad end and face consequences for their actions. But I want them to have full rights as ppl the whole time. I want everyone to have that, period full stop.

My favorite Transformers example is Strika: tfwiki.net/wiki/Strika_...

These two are a heterosexual couple:

Strika from Transformers Animated. A large bulky robot in shades of dull purple, maroon, and gold. Any female coding is very subtle.

Lugnut from Transformers Animated. A large bulky robot in shades of dark purple and green. Male coded and allegedly in some kind of long-term heterosexual relationship with Strika.

It's midnight: the U.S. Government has shut down because Republicans left DC instead of saving healthcare coverage for millions of Americans.

But I'll keep fighting for PA-05 Families.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.
