This was a lot of fun.

Have you heard the full cast audio version of this? My library has it on CD. I'm not sure it's still in the collection but I loved it for road trips.

I was going to mention Star Beast. We read it aloud to the kids. They thought it was OK.
I love the full cast audio version of Have Spacesuit Will Travel. I think the kids liked it, but they didn't have much say since we listened on a road trip.

We are bookworms, of course we are going to smell new books, say one more chapter at midnight and ruin our sleep schedule to finish the book, make faces that are described in the book, read in different positions and cry after finishing a book.

Pretty much #booksky

They grow well in Texas too. And I recently saw quite a few wild ones in upstate New York

Today would have been Virginia Giuffre's Birthday...

In her memory
Let us all keep fighting #EpsteinFiles

Her family wants you to know

"She wanted the world to know what they've done to her and so many other survivors "
"SHE fought till the last day."

Please fight for her now

The Confederates always used "state's rights" when it was convenient and the feds to control the states when it wasn't.

We are still fighting the confederates...they weren't punished well enough and they never went away.

Thanks for sharing

It was impossible given the absolute shrieking drama of the song that there would not be a metal version of "Golden" by now and in fact there are many and this is the one that hits the spot for me

The Voting Rights Act was the culmination of a generational fight. It enshrined into law a message that every citizen, regardless of their race or zip code, deserves an equal voice in our democracy.

Texas Republicans Right Now: “Democrats are interfering with our right to vote to interfere with Democrats' right to vote! NOT FAIR! Whaaaaaa! Whaaaaaa!”

Never forget that Ken Paxton was indicted in 2015 on felony securities fraud charges that should have landed him a decade in prison, but he used his corrupt influence with Governor Abbott to scam his way out of trouble.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @dccartoonist.bsky.social )

There are pink and blue bands in the morning sky. And clouds!

Good morning, folks. The sky says trans rights are human rights.

People will be like "I would do anything for my kids!!!" right up until you suggest dropping the speed limit to 20mph.

Keep the two distinct in your head.

“Both of them.”

Someone handed me an extra sticker this morning. Now to decide where to put it. (Probably my car)

Sunny Day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet
Can you tell me how to get?
How to get to Sesame Street

We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans.

Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.

It is remarkable and astonishing that the entire apparatus of the Republican party -- the entire organization and every single person who is part of it -- has been converted into a cover-up operation to protect a single pedophile rapist.

Is that why these Republicans went into politics? Really?

Tx, Please contact your school board, superintendent or curr director and encourage them NOT to add the parent SLAC policy right now until they see how the process works. They have a choice and can select the other policy that only requires posting books for 30 days and then board approval; faster.
