@JessicaCalarco Please don’t encourage that. It’s a reading strategy I was taught in college, but it’s been debunked. Focus on the letters that are there and the sounds they tend to make. (Like s is usually /s/, but also frequently /z/. )

The Hidden Palace / Awaits me at my local bookstore / I’m so excited #haiku #ionlytweethaiku #authorfriends

[Helene Wecker @helenewecker]

Sooo THE HIDDEN PALACE comes out tomorrow, should I a) do my work today like a grown-ass adult or b) take out my nervous energy on the garden?

[Wade C Davis @wadio73]

Unless you opt out / You’ll be in global network / Sure, that seems legit #haiku #ionlytweethaiku #ironicsarcasmftw

Yikes. Amazon customers have one week to opt out of a plan that would turn every Echo speaker and Ring security camera in the US into a shared wireless network.

Why can’t they fight over ending child poverty or how much to pay stay-at-home-parents or which model of healthcare-for-all is best?

Remember, accountability is what happens after the trauma, justice is the idea that the trauma shouldn’t exist in the first place.

The police have already killed over 300 people in 2021. One verdict does not bring them back.

The demand for justice continues.

Don't listen to Republicans in Congress when they say corporate taxes are too high.

The United States collects less corporate taxes as a percentage of economic output than any other industrialized country.

I have never been in fear when pulled over by a cop.

I have never been "watched" when shopping in a higher end store.

I never had to have "the talk."

Until this is true for everyone, we caucasians must push for Black Lives Matter & equality.

It comes with the privilege.

Did we ever get any answers as to which members of Congresd were communicating with the insurrectionists on 1/6 or did we just get bored with that?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Should Breyer resign? He's an able jurist. But window of opportunity is tiny. Dems have held WH and Senate in just 4 of past 28 years. 6 of 9 current justices were nominated by GOP presidents although GOP presidential candidates lost popular vote in 7 of the last 9 elections.
