@mkhammer My son finished the Bletchley Riddle and loved it! It’s such a good pick.

I have many thoughts on the Nikole Hannah-Jones story, especially having attended the kind of schools she sent her daughter to, but if we're looking for takeaways, here's a simple one. When an expert in education so thoroughly demonstrates a jarring and near complete lack of expertise in the act of getting an education for her own daughter, we should stop taking advice from her on curriculum, instruction, and all other fads disguised as wisdom she offers. That seems like the least we could do. Her daughter's personal struggle, which is indeed sympathetic, wasn't much of a teachable moment for her, as she doesn't seem to have updated any of her priors (and actually fudges funding facts, so as not to disrupt the narrative of under-resourced schools). But it should be a teachable moment for us, about the outsized influence of a scholar who claims to know better than anyone what her daughter would be up against in the school to which she chose to send her, but was inexplicably surprised and left her daughter completely unprepared for it.

This is murder. No way to soft pedal it. Child murder.

I gotta say, the gap between what I was told a portal would be when I was 7 and what it actually is is very disappointing

@liannanannerss Genuine Q, what is the best thing another parent could have done to help? There is a kid who is always late to events my daughter attends and it’s so hard to watch in real time.

@annbauerwriter Audiobooks and graphic novels. Such a game changer in getting them to read/experience the texts. The caveat being graphic novels that also have a book series; once he read through the graphic novels he wanted to read the chapter books!

In terms of atmosphere Augusta is the shot, Hilton Head is the chaser.

@Taxsavvyjessica Do people really want to take advice from someone who can’t even distinguish between “their” and “they’re”?

[Michael Diane @mdc84]

@sbostian @BiblicalBeauty This is such a great suggestion. It’s becoming a lost art and the one in my town has a waitlist a mile long due to demand.

[Michael Diane @mdc84]

@BYUbluThru I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending prayers of comfort and strength.

Sometimes when we borrow words from other languages, English can become delightfully redundant.

‘Scampi’ means “shrimp” so ‘shrimp scampi’ is basically “shrimp shrimp.”

@sallykrutzig When the lines of social media blur those of TV shows like Parks & Rec with reality. 😂

[Michael Diane @mdc84]

@rowansmama_ I had this same feeling 😂 I even told my husband there is either something seriously wrong with the pregnancy or it’s a girl because it was SO different. Congratulations on twins!
