I posted a piece on social media a few weeks ago about millennials in Portland, ME who are taking classes at craft breweries about how to manage their money. The piece included this quote: “This is hip. I am going to cool bars I would go to anyway.” I treated the piece with disdain, including a “damned millennials and…

Please check in and let us know how you are.

The American Indian College Fund always needs help, too.

Most of the responses I’ve seen have been of the “he’s so smart, he’s saying he won’t prosecute so Obama can’t pardon her, but when he’s in the White House, he’ll prosecute the hell out of her!” or “he will prosecute the Clinton Foundation!” These people are delusional.

TASTE THE FUTURE

I do, too.

I recoil in complete disgust. I hope others will join me in boycotting your utterly heartless form of entertainment, because it has nothing to do with compassionate healing.

This comment, all day long. Despite the obvious lookie-loo nature of this clip, I know I haven’t really thought about what Ms. Duvall is up to today in a long time—and I saw The Shining in the theater two weeks ago.

This is hitting me so hard. God.

For many years, I taught Melba Beals’s Warriors Don’t Cry. (Back in 1957, when she was Melba Pattillo, she was one of the “Little Rock Nine,” a group of nine African American students who attempted to integrate Little Rock Central High School in September of that year.)

Even worse than that: apparently, it’s all our fault for wanting folks to be treated respectfully and with compassion regardless of if they’re a gay or have blood coming out of their wherevers.

From Salena Zito in the Washington Post:

Did you watch the BBC doc on Kate? It’s probably still on YouTube (I can’t search, as I’m at work). It’s worth a watch.

Funny you should say that: English Settlement was the album I put on when I came home last night. Seriously.

Thank you. I’ve been doing it for more than 15 years, and I still love it every damn day.

God, I love Kate Bush.

Curie, I don’t know if you’ll even see this reply, but a colleague sent out this piece from HuffPo yesterday. It’s pretty spot on.

Conservative pundits and Trump supporters: “You must respect the anger of rural voters!”

I love it. Thank you. Also: “You Gotta Be,” which I’m using to teach my 6th graders about adjectives next week.
