Immigrants in East TN now have to drive 3 additional hours to check in with ICE after the Knoxville ICE was apparently closed.
For those living in, say, Unicoi or Carter counties, that could be a **5** hour, one-way trip!

That would be amazing! I'd love to add them to the blank cards in this board game I found last week. Called "The Guardians", you have to make it home from school by answering safety Qs (don't get in fridges, getting lost or hurt, what abuse/bullying is, etc.)

No worries! We're physically fine but don't have electricity or water. My next door in-laws have some electricity but no water either. In all, we're very fortunate, especially given this tree that took out our power line but narrowly missed the jeep.

Ridiculously excited to be back in Ann Arbor, even if it's for less than 24 hrs...
Couldn't pass up a late-night trip to Fritas!

Not only does he forget what his mom told him to buy at the market but by the time he gets there, he has 3 puppies, no money, no idea why he's there, and probably forgot how he even got there. #StoryOfMyLife

Your brain needs time to digest, process, and integrate all that information into something that makes sense for you *to* write. #academicsky

Yes, I see what you're saying... Perhaps you can help me make sense of why textbooks don't want to describe physical (skin/hair color) attributes of people in images. For example, this stock photo would be "A child sits in a man's lap playing video games."

How to make #ADHD coffee:
1. Skip the coffee pot & add grounds directly to your coffee cup (otherwise you might forget you've made it at all!)
2. Make a self-deprecating joke to appear secure in your idiocy as others laugh with you instead of at you.
