I feel so sick right now. Just got my voting information in the mail, and there are six proposed constitutional amendments this year in North Carolina. I don’t know how much y’all know about elections here, but this is highly unusual. This ain’t California, they ain’t ballot propositions, and they will likely all pass…
In case y’all haven’t heard, the teacher protests have come to North Carolina.
Here is some exciting news. Signatures have been collected for years at this point to overcome Rick Scott’s destructive anti-voter policies, and the efforts have paid off! Now it’s up to the voters, and it’s up to everyone to get people energized to vote YES!
Politico has a long and winding article about Paul Ryan possibly wanting to quit Congress. The article doesn’t really come to a definitive conclusion, though, because if Ryan were to announce that he won’t seek re-election, he will be significantly less powerful in the House.

In the best way of course!
Damn, I love musical theatre. It gives me the hope I need.
I finished a book very late last night that so deeply affected me that I can’t even process it yet. I will have to reread it in the future after getting through the rest of my pile. Here’s the book, Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys. It’s about Stalin’s hidden crimes against the people of the Baltic states (and…
Hope Solo has been suspended for six months from the US Women’s National Team! This suspension comes after a ton of misconduct and her being quite nasty to the Swedish team, calling them “a bunch of cowards.” Her contract has also been terminated. Better late than never, eh, USWNT leaders?
I was quite disappointed. British history and mythology are clearly her comfort zones. Stay in your lane, JK! This person wrote a sorting quiz for a different school of witchcraft and wizardry in the U.S.
