I'm sure someone can help him sound out the words.

Last Stop on Market Street by Matt de la Peña.

The future leader of my country likely can't read beyond this grade level and this has pictures. I think de la Peñas' book offers reading level appropriate insights that could stretch the future/former leader's mind a bit about society and people.

This makes so much sense. I think a lot about the uneven levels of instruction people received during COVID time. Most teachers were winging it. It's almost like we need to build in time to refresh people's memory (or teach concepts they might not know). That's not every teacher's strong suit though

I'm curious. What effects did COVID have on your learning?

As someone who had to scrape by in the gig economy of academia before landing a tenure-track position, I have only two pieces of advice: write and skill up. Don't let that dissertation get stale. Publish. AND don't stop acquiring/developing other skills so you can seriously consider other careers.

I learned last go round that reputation means nothing during a Trump Presidency. These kind of stories from "liberal" sources, don't have an impact on the voter base and they don't affect what happens in Congress.

How you deny wrongdoing when you have to pay people because they were done wrong? 😂 I'm so glad those women are getting what their owed.

True. It is more entertaining to see what they can do on 3rd step!

Thanks! So, sometime in the early 2000s the rules get more lax. I was aware of the gather rule in the NBA. I'm just seeing way more than 2 steps so regularly, and those buzzer beaters this week where both traveled are really proof that something is either not working or it's working as intended.

Oooh, okay. I mean, you might be right. I surely have seen more 3 and 4 steps since LeBron and I love the 👑. But good gracious. The refs really don't call travel anymore.

Crab dribble, huh? He definitely took 3 steps. Still don't see how it's related. Do you mean this is when refs stopped blowing the whistle on that last step? And I hate Harden's stepback so much even if it beats the technicalities (and I'm still not sure it really does).

Right?!

NBA Admits Refs Missed Calls on Game-Winning Shots From Jayson Tatum, Julius Randle The NBA admitted officials missed travel calls on Tatum and Randle's game-winning shots on back-to-back nights.

Can someone explain how the NBA got so lax around travelling? It's so weird. It's such a basic basketball concept. I listen to people who are clearly new to basketball or never played, and they legit have no idea how travel rules work in the NBA and it's likely because refs don't call it.

‘It’s 10 Times Harder to Stop’: An Employee’s Vaping Struggle | Duke Today

Yesterday, my 7 year old asked me what vaping was. I had to explain what addictive substances were, including nicotine. We talked about tobacco, tar, and lung diseases. I'm grateful he asked me, and I'll be reading him this Duke Today article tonight at dinner.

At this point, he's just choosing his reality TV buddies.

What harm is she preventing? What is she protecting "biological" women from? You know what I want? A bill that makes it illegal to leave the toilet nasty because some of yall are straight up gross in public 🚺 restrooms. How did you leave that stall like that, ma'am? She needs to police that.

I do miss regular looking people on TV. I know what you mean.

I'm interested, but I'm already deeply entangled. Kindle (I also use Libby and regularly check out Kindle library books). Audible (tried Libro.fm). Kindle syncs with Goodreads. My fave fellow readers are there. It's social without being annoying. Plus Bezos and 'nem already have my Prime money.

This is interesting to think about. Is South African X unlikely or uninterested in moving? Do you see any discussion there of people considering ditching the other app?

Well, if we individually and collectively block people who are negative, probably for a few months... until corporate gets over here.

It's true. He sounds so unhinged, but like it's normal. I'm not fighting nobody like that. Even if I have a chance to beat him because I know every time he hits me, he's hitting me like he doesn't care about life.

Serrano got headbutted and then robbed. Then told the truth and outclassed Katie at the same time. Then her manager stole the mic and she had to stay in the ring longer with her head split open cause he mad. That woman fought for her life tonight. Get her some stitches and a ginger beer.
