Children's author Mem Fox said, "A picture book should change your emotional temperature." What's a picture book that did that for you? One of mine is Where The Wild Things Are, especially the final lines "And it was still hot."

Word that’s making me smile today: githerments. It’s an old word from Yorkshire for a miscellaneous collection of might-be-useful-at-some-unspecified-point-in-the-future things.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Today, I have the solemn responsibility to be the first president to formally apologize to Native peoples – Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Native Alaskan – for what happened during the Indian Boarding School era.

It's long overdue.

My Dad, Melvin Spotted Elk survived the St Francis Mission Boarding School in St Francis South Dakota. My Mom Linda Schweigman/Spotted Elk survived the St Joseph Boarding School in Chamberlain South Dakota. They apologized yesterday, Mom and Dad.
