🔗 Florida teachers told to remove books from classroom libraries or risk felony prosecution
If you are teacher in Florida, why would you stay? (Either in teaching - or Florida).
… without a shared understanding of where we are in life and what words mean to us, there’s no room for constructive interactions."

No argument.
I tried clay.earth when I first learned about it .. because I am me. It didn’t stick. Just recently it keeps popping up in places telling me to try it. I haven’t. BUT .. have you? What am I missing?
Whoa … Craft is now available on SetApp!
… not me - someone else.

I will come back to this at some point because I want to say something - but not right now. 🚧

Not here on MicroBlog. Here we “blog like it’s 1999” as @dave had it.
I THINK I’ve said this before - but it bears saying again … London Inheritance is such a great site for your daily fix on London history.

New Zealand | After Ardern
Written before Hipkins won the leadership.
“My current view is this cements the likelihood of a National-ACT victory on October 14, with no fundamental change in tax, Government spending or social policies, other than the reversal of Labour’s interest deductibility and bright-line measures, along with the truncation of Three Waters, the removal of the clean car rebate scheme and no follow-through on a levy on farm emissions.”
“From a purely political and financial view, it’s more likely to lower interest rates, increase residential land prices, increase net migration, increase nominal GDP, lower the Budget deficit, lower net debt-to-GDP, further restrict productivity growth, slow real wage growth and increase the emigration of young New Zealanders who come from renting families.”

Dear Food Store
If you can’t afford to pay (or find) people to operate your checkout counters why not pay me? You could offer me a discount on my grocery bill as a small contribution to me wasting my time learning the arcane nuances of your very specific self-serve checkout UI.
Remember ‘The Grid’? I even sent them money at one point in the long last past. Forgotten all about them. Discovered again as I cull bookmarks. Oh well. Breath not held.
I see @escribitionist is using TVTIME - @pratik - have you explored that one? I recently started up with Reelgood - but a little frustrating - and don’t want to pay for Tract. Maybe TV Time is better? Welcome both of your thoughts.

The meaning and tragedy of Jacinda Ardern’s time as PM
“In the end, she deserves our utmost respect and thanks. She was instinctively extraordinary with her responses and leadership after the Christchurch attacks and the arrival of Covid.”
💬 Bernard Hickey
I can only agree.
