Here’s coverage of that student walkout:

Update: I’m hearing that WHS students are walking out now over this school board decision! The kids are definitely alright. 💙✊

Utterly shameful action by the Watertown school board

I graduated from this district, played in the band program my entire time there, and am disgusted by the school board’s decision. It looks like we need to be louder yet, alums.

Thank you for so many of the records I adore, Jack. I send love to everyone who loves him. 💜

THREAD. A while ago my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the worrying weeks dragged on my dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time & inhabiting art's most iconic scenes. What he produced (& how quickly) was phenomenal...

At some point there needs to be a *proper* conversation about how cruelty has become a new normal for so many people. And we can't just keep putting it down to structures. Too many people with plenty of agency are actively choosing this.

I’m proud of the band director here; these kids deserve the chance to learn new, difficult pieces. How do you improve, otherwise? The Watertown school board is completely out of control—I say that as alumni of this band program and school district.

This amazing image really captures the Tennessee fight and it's all over the internet. I am reposting it to encourage people to credit photographer Nicole Hester and the Tennessean.

the reward you get in the PNW for the long dark winter is sitting on the porch enjoying a lovely late dusk at 8 or 9, and while it’s probably not for everyone, i sure love it

Wow. Chaos on the Tennessee House floor. Tennesseans yelling in the gallery and Democrats locking arms in one final stand, as Republicans vote to advance new congressional maps that will carve up the state’s only majority-Black congressional district.

This is the 82-year-old state senator the FBI just raided because she successfully redistricted Virginia to match racist Republican redistricting efforts. They targeted her because she's ruthless and effective. They don't want anyone else to play within their new rules.

I’ve seen longer segments of him VJing and he always picks cool stuff.

Todd's right about this being a lack. I've argued before that he was just as much of a chameleon-of-rock as such as Bowie, and if his impulses generally seemed more that of entertainer over art, a career-wide look at his sonic range and sense of inspiration shows the scope. Dude had RANGE.
