I’ve heard so much about Challenger and today was the first time I read about the five engineers who warned of the dangers and begged management to call of the launch — who were ignored. That’s the real tragedy of this entirely preventable incident.

We have eyes. We all saw what really happened there.

But don’t plant them? That’s my problem. 😭 Thankfully I don’t have to buy them any more, I just them from our public library which now offers a “seed library” of free seeds.

Literally teaching people to read the way struggling readers read. 💀 I’ve always found this weird about US teaching. Both my home country and my adoptive country have always stressed phonics, sight words and only after that, context clues.
