When all seems lost and everything is despair (see: everything), you gotta do something. Even if it doesn't help the immediate problem, it'll help. Watch a movie Bake a cake Check in on a friend Take a walk Pet a dog Babysit Surprise a neighbor with flowers or whatever you can/like to do

I've taught college for 15+ years and I'm as convinced as ever that the absolute best thing you can do for your kid's life is raise them to enjoy reading. Over and over and over, you see it: So many other complex skills are downstream of being able to focus on (even enjoy) a written text.

Everyone should get a library card if you don't already have one! It's more important than ever to support public libraries. This is an extension that tells you if the book you are looking up on Amazon or Goodreads is in your library (and if it is available).

😭😭😭 This flash is so packed with emotion. A metaphor for what we judge as worthy of saving and what we think should be let go. But every small thing counts and everything adds up. In the end we might end up much lonelier than we thought. by Will McMahon in @lightspeedmagazine.com

I know it's likely that no one will read this post but I'm so tired of waking up between 2 & 4 in the morning in pain. I'm so tired of having fibromyalgia, of not being able to work, of not being able to keep up with my kid that it just feels so awful. I feel like screaming.

VP Harris isn't "childless." She's been a stepmom for 10 years. That "counts." Can we not buy into the Right's narrative that parenting only happens with one's own uterus, by State coercion if needed? Sing it with me: families look like lots of things, and love makes a family.

🌚 What the heck is "#DarkOxygen" everyone keeps talking about? In the total darkness of the depths of the Pacific Ocean, scientists have discovered oxygen being produced not by living organisms but by strange potato-shaped metallic lumps that give off almost as much electricity as AA batteries.
