This is some fascinating book history! childrenslitpilgrim.substack.com/p/teacher-mo... 📚 📜 the illustrations and the words seemed to vary across editions, so the author "did what any reasonable person would do: I requested every edition I could find through interlibrary loan to see for myself" 💕

Excited to be part of this presentation led by @lizwfab.bsky.social about the various contributions to this @mcfarland.bsky.social collection!

You can curse daylight saving time, daylight saving, daylight savings, daylight savings time, and/or daylight time. All are considered acceptable so go off.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

My latest post for @maryelizaproject.bsky.social

Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in economic activity. It’s not about the money, Trump just wants Americans to go hungry.

I spoke w/local food bank to ask what they needed to most as far as donations, and they requested cash instead of food donations as they can purchase what they need at a deep discount/wholesale rate. Just an FYI in case you were going to purchase food to donate vs. donating from your own shelves.

"This isn't about me; it's about you. You need to know what the best candy is for Halloween. Even though you're 33. With no kids. And totally into Keto."

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

Thanks @herberthistory.bsky.social and #HATM!! That was a very powerful and moving film about love, sacrifice, and survival. Always hold your peeps close!! 🥹🥹 Everyone have a great week and we’ll see you next Sunday!! Love you peeps and Happy Halloween!! 🎃👻💀🎃🧟🧟😄😄❤️❤️❤️❤️

Totally missed out on tonight’s #HATM and y’all are doing #TrainToBusan 😍 In case anyone’s not aware, there’s an animated prequel (Seoul Station) and a sequel (Peninsula). Hope y’all enjoyed this film!

#HATM youtu.be/fuyFQzFOzG8?...

"Aloha Oe" was written by the last monarch of Hawaii Queen Liliʻuokalani, which became a symbol of the end of Hawaiian independence, and the erosion of culture (but the hope of some future return). It is a sad song, but with a measure of hope for renewal (very on theme). #TrainToBusan #HATM

Whew, that ending. Thanks for hosting us tonight, @herberthistory.bsky.social. This is such a great movie. Have a good week everyone, see you next Sunday! #HATM

"Queen Lili’uokalani was also a prolific composer and poet, mainly writing in the style of mele ho’oipoipo, which are love songs that incorporate nature metaphors.... I think that some undoubtedly would fit into any collection of protest songs." #HATM pages.stolaf.edu/americanmusi...

Su-an is going to have to deliver that baby #HATM

So we’ve had characters who were saved by being selfish and saved by working together and we’ve had them die by being selfish and die by working together. Moral of the story: You may die either way but don’t be an ass. #HATM

It's actually a pretty good rule to stick to your training as much as possible in disaster situations - helps keep your focus on the tasks at hand, ensures you don't make mistakes, and exudes calm all around. As the good book says: Don't Panic. #TrainToBusan #HATM

This film has great pacing. In the brief breaks from the action, you are anxious about what form of zombie attack will happen next. The audience can never fully relax. #HATM

"Philip L. Gillett, an American missionary with the YMCA, is credited with bringing baseball to Seoul in 1905, though there are documented references to the sport being played on the Korean peninsula as early as 1894 or 1896." #HATM www.mlb.com/news/feature...

Zombie movies obviously speak to our fears of contagion as well as how society overreacts to fears-sacrificing people who aren’t threats. They’re also about the dead coming for us. In j’acuse, the 1st zombie film, dead WWI soldiers accuse the living of not being worthy of their sacrifice. #HATM

"Much like Sang-ho’s fellow countryman, Bong Joon-ho’s 2013 sci-fi film “Snowpiercer” (which also involves a train), “Train to Busan” has a class conflict element to it. Throughout his career, Sang-ho has not shied away from tackling social issues." #HATM www.indiewire.com/features/gen...

Enjoy that this movie gets right to the zombies without any exposition. It knows the audience will understand what is happening right from the zombie deer #HATM

"K-Horror knows how to pack a punch no matter what story is being told because it's rooted in a psychological and more emotional reality." #HATM www.cracked.com/article_3240...

Listened to the @screendrafts.bsky.social Korean Horror episode during my last longish drive, so feeling slightly prepared for #HATM screendrafts.libsyn.com

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

The vintage movie venue was destroyed this week as part of the Trump administration's plan to build a new $300 million ballroom. Former President Bill Clinton called it the office's "best perk."

Dr. Joanne Freeman: “He tore down the fucking White House”. 10/10 notes not required.

"Women are not usually into science fiction"is legitimately one of the stupidest, most divorced from reality sentences I have ever read in my life

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

Taking apart Karoline Levitt’s defense of the East Wing demolition on CBS Mornings felt like grading a book report written in crayon www.cbsnews.com/video/presid...

“ “Betty Ford had the best quote for how special the East Wing is: ‘If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart,” Anita McBride, who was chief of staff to Laura Bush when she was first lady, told East Wing Magazine.” - NYTimes What a metaphor, indeed. 💔

If you or someone you know is affected by the government shutdown and needs assistance with getting food, medicine or other essentials, here's a resource. Just put in your zip code and you will get a list of nearby food pantries and orgs that can help. Please share widely! 🥰 findhelp.org

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified. So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life. Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

Anybody who has kids in school knows that both parents and their children have to navigate 30 different apps for different things and it's all so confusing and ineffective.

In 1920, Lilian T. Piotti (Moynihan) served on an executive committee of a Memorial Service featuring the Boston Italian Symphony in “Aid of Free Italian Home for Children.” The event was planned as the “largest Italian demonstration ever staged in this city.” Image: Boston Post, Sat. June 5, 1920

And that’s a wrap on The Goonies! May they still be stumbling through Astoria and causing chaos to this day! #HATM #TheGoonies
