Happy #PublicSchoolsWeek! 9 out of 10 students attend public schools. Public schools welcome every child—regardless of ability, race, wealth, language, country of origin or needs and are a cornerstone of our democracy that must be protected from defunding by billionaires like Musk and McMahon.

My daughter is vaccinated and has magic powers, but I can’t attest to a causal link. Her magic powers might have been pre-existing.

Happy Birthday to WEB Du Bois, who wrote about the wildly important concept of psychological wages of whiteness in the first history of Reconstruction, Black Reconstruction in America, which he messily dedicated to his mistress, Dr. Virginia Alexander, and not his wife, Nina Gomer #BookSky

Calling yourself a King doesn’t make you a king. Having the voice of an angel and recording one of the all-time great Christmas standards does.

Weekly typewriter: my “newest” machine. Gift from a friend — my daughter’s godfather — so I’ll take good care of it. The build quality on this era… not great. Olivetti owned the brand, iirc, and licensed it to firms in Japan who reduced costs with plastics parts. It’s not running, but we’ll see.

In #mnleg House Higher Ed Committee, U of M Pres Dr Cunningham used a word to describe potential Trump cuts to research that’s echoing in my head. “Devastation” Any Republicans who support them are actively standing in the way of curing disease.

My posting history lacks coherence, much like my daily experiences. New music, thoughts about parenting, comic book nostalgia, commentary on the US government creating concentration camps in the Panamanian jungle, movie memes…

This article is way too soft. What the hell is “a facility in the Darien province,” where people who refuse to return to their home countries have been taken? Other sources refer to a CAMP; no one in Panama will talk about it. “Journalists” need to get their asses over there. NOW. Clock is ticking.

this part from the poem ‘On Children’ by Kahlil Gibran is stuck in my head this morning: “Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

The Republican strategy from last session was to waste vast amounts of time in the hopes that the DFL majority would not be able to achieve what they’d been elected to do. Passing this omnibus defeated that effort, and was a victory for supporters of DFL policies — who are 50%+1 of MN voters.

Minnesotans will lose jobs they have today, and new jobs will never be created, because of President Trump bailing on billion dollar contracts with our state. There is no precedent for these actions. #mnleg #senatedfl #energy youtu.be/VSBtmMhY7To?...

It occurred to me that all of my #typewriters don't need to be perfect. I fix them when I can, but if they can't be mended, I find beauty in their scars. These old beasts have seen things. Royal KMG, 1949.
