Wow, all this makes me want our public schools to do a unit where the kids read some of these books, and then learn the historical context. It would make a pretty amazing teaching tool, and I distinctly recall how incredibly weak our history curriculum was back in elementary school.

Sooo... the music equivalent of the person suing Guillermo Del Toro because The Shape of Water was a “rip off” of their movie about a female scientist freeing a captive dolphin?
That’s like saying the Scientific Method is “not progressive”. Especially given that it gave birth to the Scientific Method.
I explained to to em before the election, too. But no-0ne ever listens to me.
...Wouldn’t an apology for Canadian racism be best directed to First Nations people?
Conservative Democrats getting elected in conservative districts where previously there were ultra-conservative (or just radical) Republicans is still a win. Voting with you sometimes is better than voting with you never.

Doing squats is boring. Tai Chi gives you all the same benefits, but it way more fun do do...

Well, hallelujah. Of course, everyone is focused on mass shooters at the moment, and the vast majority of those have a background of domestic violence, too.
Weird how lifting working people out of poverty, healthcare, and women’s rights are “a bit Bernie Sanders” now, isn’t it?
Something, something, intersectional (so they can ignore poverty and labor).
Wow, they’re like villains from an episode of The Care Bears.
Having officers with guns in schools is madness. They shouldn’t get anything more lethal than a tazer if they exist at all, and frankly, they shouldn’t.
