@courtneyellis I’m sorry. Buying pants is already impossible without the added challenge of numbers that don’t make any sense.
I have to replace all of my work pants this year, and I was dreading it so much that I just bought a dress to wear to work every day instead.
A Stanford study found that people who played Pokémon heavily as kids developed a small region of the brain that responds specifically to Pokémon characters.
Researchers scanned adults who grew up playing on Game Boy and showed them images of Pokémon like Pikachu and Bulbasaur.
Their brains lit up in the same exact spot, a consistent area in the visual cortex tied to recognizing specific categories of objects.
The reason comes down to childhood. When you’re young, your brain is more flexible, and spending hours memorizing hundreds of similar-looking Pokémon essentially trained it to carve out space just for them.

The website for the OK State Dept. of Education has a new look, one day after Supt. Walters' resignation.
Here are a couple screen-grabs from their front-facing webpage in September. The link takes you to the page as it looks today. @kfor

Teachers say Walters’ exit brings hope.
“Teachers are walking around with smiles on their faces and lots of high fives. There is no sadness. I hear from the teachers across Oklahoma who have reached out to me, it’s just nothing but pure joy & pure hope."
