Jake Sherman says on Twitter that they have the all clear to return to the building. Police saying it may have been a bogus call.

Thanks dc2london and elle ...I think I keep forgetting that part for my own mental health. I know it's been said and now I remember my H telling me I can't put anything political in our yard. That in turn made me think about radicals in my red town making me "confess" my "side" with my kids at risk. What a timeline we live in

The list of reasons for eternally hating 45 is extremely long, but lately Iām adding āmade me nod along and agree with Mike Pence multiple timesā to the list. It's one of the most stomach turning things, isn't it?

Surprising exactly no one, TFG plead not guilty in D.C. today. DS, who is 10, woke me up from a nap to show me the news report that popped up on his ipad (the ipad was handed down from my MIL when she got a new one). He was very concerned that "the clown", as we call him here, had gotten away with it.

I hate the AP Psych stuff but I do get and can appreciate why the College Board made this decision. It is so heartbreaking for educators and high schoolers in FL though.
It's interesting because I specifically recall my AP Psych class was where I chose a memoir by a trans woman (She's Not There by Jenny Boylan) and it was where the life and perspective of a trans person was first introduced to me. I did a whole project about it. So I guess my AP Psych teacher is exactly the person that these assholes in FL hate since it really was where I was exposed to the psychology of sexuality in this kind of in depth way.
Obviously I think it benefited me in many ways, and it makes me really sad about this whole situation there.

I just went to Amazon to add this book to my "to read" list and it said I've already purchased it. The shipping address was to my sister, so I must have been buying her a college book. I'll have to ask her about it

Kirk and his presenters with him seem like they are going for max chaos. Capacity is capacity. Threats to sue are taking resources and time away from the actual functions of libraries.

Do you think if he really brought all the fed workers back combined with student loan repayments that it could affect his re-election choices? People will be pissed.

But it's far enough out that the impact would probably be minimal I really don't understand the need to bring everyone back in the office 5 days a week. So many industries claimed they didn't allow work from home because they were worried about productivity and I have my seen anything these last few years backing that up

Ugh. Allowing work from home for roles that it works for is like one of the simplest things we can do for the climate. Makes no sense.

My rock painting program is getting lots of participants today. Take that KC!
Also, someone in one of my librarian groups posted that they had one of the "storytimes" today and it was 8 old people volunteers, 1 therapy dog, and no kids. Couldn't have happened to a better group. Also, save the dog!

PBS has a piece about how Covid hospitalizations are surging again. And we have absolutely no protections in place currently. I dread school starting.
