One of the kids in my daughter's class got suspended for a day for cracking two kids in the head with his Percy Jackson book after he was being teased and made fun of by other students for reading. The teacher did the worthless "please stop" like 10 times and never sent the bullies to the office

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

Because people keep asking, the Story of The Lizard In That Dude's Leg. Some caveats: 1. This happened more than twenty years ago. There are no pictures. There was a small article in a local paper with, again, no pictures (I'm assuming that's what the producers of 9-1-1: LONE STAR found).

Spending time online can leave you with a warped view of the world and that's a shame. Good people have always outnumbered bad people and things generally get better. Hold onto that x

“If somebody doesn't help me, I'm going to die.” "Somebody said to me, 'I don't know what you expect me to do, You're a healthy 21-year-old young female.'" Some of the most dangerous words in medicine are: “You test results are normal” “You’re young and healthy” “What do you want me to do?” 🧵

I want to talk a bit about how historians go about understanding historical cultures and worldviews. History, after all, is more than just dates and names, more than who did what to who when. A good historian can, to a degree, inhabit the worldview of their subjects. But how? 1/

@reactorsff.bsky.social
. It's the work of years of planning, recipe-testing, storybuilding, & artistic collaboration. I wrote it from home, I wrote it during a blackout, I wrote it from the back of an RV going 85mph through a sea of wild sunflowers.
