To be a teenage girl, receiving over 150 "romantic" messages from your team, via your school's official Microsoft Teams platform (!!!) and to have the courage to report him? Wow. I hope she gets all the care she deserves because what she did is incredibly brave.

So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
We rightfully talk about Ruby Bridges being the first Black child to integrate an all-white school in the South at 6-years-old. But we don’t talk nearly enough about Lucille Bridges, her mom ✨

Fountain pen enthusiasts, please send me all your recs, links, and tips! My fingers are inkstained. My soul is fixed. My heart is happy. I'd planned to head over to Atlas Stationers while in Chicago for ALA, but never made it. Tempted to preorder for Inkvent, but I'm brand new to this category.
Smol Paul and his new sidekick Smolla Paula: the wobbly monochrome partnership in crime we all need right now. Thank you so much for contributing to our fundraiser so we could make this happen -- I can't stop laughing at their little faces!
Goo morning, monsters. There’s nothing wrong with slow. Sliming, stretching, splorping, endurance can cover distance just as easily as a sprint. And those frantic runners need to rest sometimes, to recover and replenish. Keep creeping along. When they sleep, slow suddenly becomes so terribly fast.

What is this constant nonsense about how people shouldn't be judged for their past actions and comments and affiliations. Of course they should. What else should they be judged for if not that
I didn’t draw this well, but this is why I think North American insistence on 1/8-mi. bus stop spacing vs. Europe’s 1/4-mi. is misguided. Average distance *to the line* is already so long that you’ve already lost people with big mobility issues before they’ve even gotten to the street with the bus.
Stephen Jacob Smith@stephenjacobsmith.com · 10h agoThis logic runs in the opposite direction – if there’s substantial lateral walking anyway, then the number of people for whom the marginal 100-200m is a dealbreaker is much smaller. If a line ran in front of everybody’s doorstep, then you’d gain a lot of riders with close stop spacing, because the…

I put a call out for mural walls yesterday and I got a lot of VERY good walls for projects of a variety of scales. Unfortunately I have only sold enough shirts this summer to cover 2 of those walls. This means more people need to buy shirts. Thems the breaks. More shirts more art. SquidFacts.Net
