But but the vandalism!! Isn’t damaging a building like the worst thing one could ever do in the name of protest? 😠

So I'm actually pleased with my company RightNow. What used to be a pretty bro heavy organization has grown and I'm currently on the kickoff call for our social justice and equality council and 157 employees signed up to participate. And so far the meeting is legit. like talking about George Floyd's murder, BLM and global racism.

I saw this in this Title Nine catalog over the weekend. For those that don't shop there they are an active clothing company that uses real women to display their product line offering kick ass quotes. Very much into women empowerment. I've never seen anything remotely political in their catalogs in shopping with them for 9 years but saw this little gem and wanted to share. Of course that led me to googling for that RBG pin, finding other fun RBG merch and reading more about her life on the SCOTUS. Best hour I wasted this weekend.

Gotta love the end of that hearing when someone from the GOP said, "If you want to make sure the hearing goes on, hire the DNC IT guy."
The GOP members Are petty Children.

This seems like some good news (though I admit I don't know the details of the case)

Has doublestuf been around and I’ve just not seen her? I know she’s a teacher and wanted to make sure everything is ok. 🖐 You are so kind to think of me. I'm here, at least a couple days behind, handing out LTs. In April my principal offered me 2 roles (neither is full time separately) so I am no longer a regular classroom teacher and man what great timing that is! I will eventually work with kids who need academic interventions, and I'm a math coach (my dream gig! Tag me if any of your kids get stuck in math). I am doing some reallly fulfilling work right now in both roles! I feel for our teachers so much. The teaching that comes so easy in front of kids is 1000x more difficult digitally, and there is so much forethought required even though our district has some kickass stuff made for us. The math coach role is new for our school, and I am so glad it exists because they need help to not go insane. In my other role, we are going out into the community to help our families out with the technology. It was the other instructional coach's idea and our little team just ran with it. I work with some amazing people, and we've been having some very honest conversations about race and truly creating a more equitable experience for kids in our school. I finally have IRL people who share the same views I do (besides H and his parents)!!!!! We are all virtual, and even if/when we go back, classes will be split into thirds. No talk of that happening yet to my knowledge. We put DD in Kindergarten because our district offered free child care for teacher's kids. Plus she was so ready (not to toot her horn, I truly believe redshirting her would be detrimental). That has been interesting to say the least as things have changed many times. Currently there are 2 people in there who know nothing of the technology, so she has been staying with me as much as I can handle it. It's been tough, but we're making it work for now. Watching school unfold from both the teacher and parent roles is something. If school is going to be anything close to equitable in all of this, teachers are having to do an enormous amount of work as they both record lessons for working parents/people with 1 device and teach live t others. It's so unfair. Yesterday was DD's first real day, and I was in meetings all day so I had no idea what she learned. I was so thankful for the stuff the teachers loaded in. Randomly, I recorded the DNC and was watching Kamala's intro and speech while putting on makeup one morning. That was a mistake! Oh man, it was amazing!

I'm reading he was shot in the face. Oh my god. How can people be such monsters? It’s sick. This happened in my town. I have been a wreck all day. The man who was shot was released from the hospital this afternoon. He is okay. But they tried to keep him in the hospital to take a cheek swab citing they needed it for the investigation. When Frank Nitty pushed back on the bullshit they said he (the gunshot victim) was detained until they could get a search warrant. I watched it all live on Facebook. Now my fucking town square is crawling with gun toting assholes, I think because people are “threatening” the men who shot the activists. They were questioned but are not in custody and they haven’t been charged. I have a few friends here who care but I also feel like I’m on an island in a racist town. Also hi what a way to not be a lurker 🙈

Welcome, defyinggravity! Please stick around, we love having new folks (especially ones who seem to have a Broadway affinity, yes?) Thank you for the updates - I'm glad the victim is going to be OK, and hope everyone stays safe.
