I’m reminded of problematic fave Van Jones in one of his interviews for the Kalief Browder story. Basically he said if what Kalief said happened to him was true, the ENTIRE SYSTEM has to shut down and get built again, and that’s a reality that nobody wanted to deal with.

If it makes you feel better, in a few years we won’t have any public schools at all. I’m going to go drink bleach now.

There are some lessons that are fun to teach with role-playing. Things like “Have A Constitutional Convention” or a “Lincoln-Douglas Debate.”

I took up meditation on January 1st. I sit for 15 minutes every day and block out everything. I meet with some folks every Sunday for a 30 minute sit and I am always mad when someone mentions Cheetolini. (I once directed a lovingkindness meditation towards him, but I felt very gross about it afterwards.)

That’s the beauty of brunch—it’s got like a 10 hour window of opportunity. Brunch at 4pm? Sure, that counts.

Glad you’ve found a method. I (unlike you) have the luxury of disconnecting from current events (only for like, a few hours at a time) when I can’t schedule a nervous breakdown into my day, but I can only stay away so long because I know I’m missing something. Right now I am burying myself in art and trying to make…

She is precious.

Write on, Nia Mya! Hoping her classmates get inspired and maybe some local summer programs are there to support young writers.

The NO HATE Act was introduced this week to strengthen federal laws against hate crimes. As of today, there are no Republican co-sponsors (hmmm, wonder why). If this story upsets you, you know what to do.

What is this fuckery about? (SURPRISE - we all know the answer)
