I have questions after tonight's speech: What superlative will we use for the depression being created right now? Great Depression is already taken. Is Even Greater Depression too long? What will the party of fiscal conservatism and states' rights be called when "republican" becomes a slur?

I loved Braiding Sweetgrass. I'll check out Big Magic. Thanks for the suggestions!

Last year nonfiction comprised about 25% of the books I read. This year I want to up my ratio. In January 10 of 21 books read were nf. Last week I read "The Quiet Damage" and "Sandy Hook." Both are depressing to see Americans act so unethically. I need to cheer myself up. What's a happy nf for me?

So with the important renaming of the Gulf of Mexico and Denali I'm wondering what other places will need to be renamed. What will New Mexico be known as? I'm assuming the spelling of Moscow, Idaho is safe, but the pronunciation will need adjusting. Also, should I be ordering freedom fries at McD's?

I teach students who have severe special needs. Today I logged my Medicaid billable hours for the last 2 weeks and couldn't help but wonder how I will be able to serve my students if (when) those dollars are cut.

Brand new to bsky. What's your biggest tips to make this safe and welcoming?
