The Sands of Time led to me. Looking for those who went before.

The lawsuit against @KappaKappaGamma caused me nightmares last night about living in the sorority house when I was a member of KKG - 4 girls to a room, connected bathroom to another 4 girls (8 girls sharing a bathroom/shower/changing space). No locks except on the toilet room.

I had a serious eating disorder, was living 13 hours away from home for the first time, and was genuinely intimidated by being vulnerable as a young woman.

I can’t even imagine having to share that space with a 6’3” 260 pound man because the adults in charge threatened me if I didn’t agree.

@alexs_journey Alex, you will do great on your exams! Stay calm and think!
The answer is there, just look for it.

When adopting a pet, try to remember the3 3 3 rule.

@alexs_journey Your son is part of a great nuclear family, and his followers and supporters really care too! So awful Alex is being bullied, and even worse that his school is condoning this bad behavior by not stopping it, and stepping up to make accommodations that Alex deserves! Alex rocks!!

As the Black Sea increasingly becomes a no go area for Putin’s Navy.

Ukraine’s grain exports are increasing and helping to put their economy on a firmer war footing.

In recent months more grain has been exported than at anytime since the outbreak of war.

In 1963, the famous photographer Richard Avedon took a picture of a man named William Casby. William Casby, born in 1857, was 106 years old at the time. In his hands, he was holding his great-great-granddaughter, Cherri Stamps-McCray.

The image amazes me because the elderly gentleman holding his descendant so tenderly, was born into slavery more than a century prior. Casby would eventually live until 1970, dying at the age of 113. His great- and great-grandchildren are alive today, and many of them remember him.

It puts into perspective just how relatively recent slavery existed. Because as faraway and distant as it may feel now. Even in modern-day America, there are people who have active memories of talking to former slaves.

'I'll call for pen and ink, and write my mind'

William Shakespeare was born #onthisday in 1564 and died #onthisday in 1616. This is our memorial to him in Poets' Corner, which stands alongside those to more than a hundred of our greatest writers.

[Library of Congress @librarycongress]

What is now called the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (part of the Library of Congress) was established in 1931. By 1934 the service was distributing sound recordings called "talking books," along with braille materials. That means we’ve been in the talking book/audiobook business for close to a century! Here’s a look at how audiobooks for NLS patrons are made today! #WorldBookDay

Hatred is evil.

[Bill Smith @billsmitha]

My 10-year-old son is already an entrepreneur.

He started a valet trash business in our neighborhood.

His business model: For $100 per year, he takes care of customers’ trash twice a week.

One Sunday, he set out with flyers and knocked on 40 doors.

When he came back, we debriefed.

Son: “Man, I knocked on 40 doors and only got one customer. My goal was to get three.”

Me: “Alright, when are you going to follow up?”

Follow up? I could see he looked confused.

Son: “Most people said they weren’t sure or ready to sign up yet.”

Me: “Go see everybody. Keep going back until they tell you ‘no’.”

That’s what he did. And he came back with five more customers.

He got 5x the customers by being consistent and relentless with the follow-up.

Now he has 13 customers and growing, many of them from referrals.

Most people only ask once. They give up too early.

Don’t forget how powerful just following up is.

To celebrate William Shakespeare's 460th birthday, here are his 46 best (and strangest) insults:

[Simon Knott @TheSimonKnott]

The Mary Rose. I find it strangely affecting, that not only could it re-emerge from the past after more than four centuries, but also the hundreds of ordinary objects that were found with it, the possessions of the 500-odd crew. And, of course, the sheer human endeavour required to bring it to the surface and preserve it.

Tonight, Jewish families around the world will begin the celebration of Passover with the traditional seder meal. Michelle and I loved the seders we held in the White House, and the story of Passover – with its focus on resilience, redemption, and renewal in the face of persecution and uncertainty. Today it rings even more true.

This Passover, let’s remember everyone who is unable to celebrate the holiday with their loved ones. And in a time when there’s been so much suffering and loss in Israel and Gaza, let’s reaffirm our commitment to the Jewish people, and people of all religions, who deserve to feel safe and secure wherever they live and practice their faith. Chag Sameach.
