A purple and red octopus talk to each other on the tin can telephone. Purple octopus says “want to connect your students with real Scientists?” Then red octopus says “Skype a scientist matches groups with scientists for virtual q&as.

My final though on this topic...

If you find yourself saying ‘they’ a lot in terms of individual acts of violence, you are already sliding down a slippery slope. A person isn’t a people. That thinking is the root of a lot of evil.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

last week a friend said to me “I'm realizing my sphere of concern is greater than my sphere of influence and that is stressful"

I feel like she nailed it

In January one sphere exploded and the other collapsed and we’ve all been recalibrating since
