Schoolhouse Rock!: The Official Guide | Tom Yohe, George Newall
post image

I have had this on loop all day. 250 years later, and we're still fighting this. Thanks to all who went out there today to fight the good fight. I got blindsided with a hellacious cold and didn't want to spread my germs, but I've been there in spirit. #resist 💙✊🏻♥️

If you've never seen Schoolhouse Rock, especially this one, it's worth 3 minutes of your time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvOZs3g3qIo

ChaoticMissAdventures I live in Portland Oregon so we are pretty learned in the protest ways. I was Bail Friend today. Meaning I hang out, all my friends have my number written on their arm and if they get arrested or sent to hospital I am in charge of organizing their release. We rotate Bail Friend duties. It has been a quiet day and all my people are done for the day so that feels good. 6h

ncsufoxes As a mom of Autistic child I see you & get you. Our Autistic son is almost 16. He‘s made our life more interesting. He‘s funny, smart, caring, compassionate, full of animal facts. Our 2 other kids have ADHD. RFK can suck a lemon. This man has no business anywhere near the department of health & human services . I worry about the long term damage that will be done to the Autism community. Luckily we‘re resilient & fierce advocates. 1mo
kspenmoll @ncsufoxes Yes, resilient, fierce, strong! #seeusroar #resist #RFKsucklemons (edited) 1mo

ncsufoxes Also Autism is not a tragedy & we are not broken families. Our kids are people that deserve a full & meaningful life just like anyone else. Also RFK should read the tagged book. Such a great book on the history of Autism & more. (edited) 1mo

DogMomIrene Autistic people are marvels! RFKjr, not. My opinion of him? What @Chrissyreadit and @dabbe said! 1mo
dabbe @DogMomIrene 🎯🩵🎯 1mo
Centique I saw a news reel with that dreadful man making that comment and i thought both, how incredibly stupid you are old man, and also how incredibly hurtful. Where has he been that he does not know wonderful, amazing, autistic people? Please pass on to your son that most of the world knows better 💕 1mo

News From Nowhere | Liverpool, United Kingdom (Bookstore)
post image

We went to Liverpool today to attend a protest in support of Trans Rights, so an after-protest visit to News From Nowhere was mandatory. I bought a book on the politics of mental health and a mug with a quote from living legend Kathy Burke:
"I love being Woke. It's much nicer than being an ignorant fucking twat." No argument from me!
I bought a couple of t-shirts from a shop up the road, too ??‍???‍♀️

Chrissyreadit i love everything about this post and your mug. 1mo

sarahbarnes I‘ve been on the fence about this one, but the last sentence of that quote makes me very intrigued. 😆 1mo
BkClubCare @sarahbarnes - writing is excellent; I noted many passages and a few new-to-me words 🌟 1mo

Johnny Tremain | Esther Forbes
post image

250 years ago today, the battle of Lexington and Concord occurred. Wonder what our forefathers would think now? My favorite line from JOHNNY TREMAIN, winner of the 1944 Newbery Medal and about the outbreak of said battle, is from James Otis as he's questioning all of the patriots as to why they were fighting: “We give all we have, lives, property, safety, skill...we fight, we die, for a simple thing. Only that a man can stand up.” #resist ✊🏻💙✊🏻

Amiable “Johnny Tremain” is one of those books that I didn‘t fully appreciate until I was an adult. Even as a kid growing up 2 hours from where the Revolution began and with a family history that includes ancestors who enlisted in CT militia regiments. We read it in 4th grade and I hated it. Wonder if it would resonate more in classrooms today? (edited) 2mo
dabbe @Amiable I never read it as a child, but I taught it in 7th grade. Maybe 4th grade was a tad to young, because the 7th graders liked it. They needed lots of help to get through it, especially with the vocabulary, but that part I quote above really got to them. I even had everyone stand up at the end of that reading. It was quite moving. 💙♥️💙 2mo
dabbe @Chrissyreadit 💙♥️💙 2mo
rubyslippersreads I might have read this in elementary school, but I‘m rereading it now in honor of 250 years, and really enjoying it. 2mo
dabbe @rubyslippersreads This just makes my heart sing. I don't think I truly enjoyed and understood it fully until just a few years ago. I can't wait to read what you think about it. 💙♥️💙 2mo
kspenmoll People at the protest held signs referencing this …🇺🇸 2mo
dabbe @kspenmoll @kspenmoll What a powerful day to be a part of ... all around.
💙♥️💙

Funny, isn't it? That there are 50 white stripes on a 🟦 background? And only 13 🟥 stripes on the white background? #interesting 🧐 That's only 26% 🟥 but 74% 🟦. Do you think we both symbolically chose 2 💙💙 and only ♥️? Also interesting that the ♥️ is in the middle. 🧐 Yeah ... first and last drink for the night. #mondaynightponderings 🤣
