I’ve been informed by folks on this site that The Hobbit and now Jane Austen are too difficult for teens. I can’t stress enough how condescending this is to teenagers. You’re taking away all the things that might bring them joy and leaving them with no pastimes but scrolling.

I just ran our newish car into a concrete column in the library parking garage dropping something off. #IYKYK (Did I mention right in front of my spouse?)

@matthewhaugen I wasn't sure from the pictures- it looked like it had gone over the road curb barriers and over the sidewalk and maybe into the buildings. Is that right?

I know it is a small thing, but, in these dying days of the open web, it is lovely that such a large proportion of famous poetry is online, mostly due to a $100M gift from Ruth Lily, who loved poetry (even though she never got any of her own published) https://t.co/pmuIqzIEUs

If you live with someone who
has ADHD and you hear them say,
“I’m going to put this somewhere safe,”
you need to stop them immediately.

Because that item is about to disappear
into another dimension. You will not
see it again. Start the search party now.

Every five years I remember my @CSPAN #CSPAnniversary, and this year it's been 30 years! Where do the years go? It was along ago, during my @VoteSmart time....
