Loves to talk about books, tv/film, wrestling, music, education, and much more.
The novelist Lorrie Moore once observed that school integration is used to give whites an experience of race rather than blacks an experience of algebra.

I'm very conflicted about Becky Lynch returning like this.
I am glad she's back in WWE, love Becky Lynch. But it sucks to the extreme that Bayley had to step aside and lose her Wrestlemania spot to make this happen.
I made this during the AJ match
I was bored

I experienced my first hog fry with fry bread (let me just say yum), got a selfie with the chief, and petitioned the House to keep their treaty promises to seat the Cherokee representative which they refuse to do. A good and full day with 200+ “cousins”

The corporate school reform movement, all about "raising the bar" & demanding “tougher standards,” actually lowers meaningful expectations for disadvantaged kids because it relies on dubious indicators of progress (standardized tests), thereby perpetuating a “bunch o’ facts” model of learning.
Bingo!

And then they chanted CANADA!
We cheered with them!
