Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this.

Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

Hey, friends. I hope you're all doing okay. Or something approximating okay. May your breath be a blessing. May your work be a blessing. May your care for others and may your receiving of care be a blessing as well. I feel blessed just to know you. Hold on to something beautiful for me, will you?

Thanks, Tom!!

Screenshot of an article: "The Lack of World-Building is One of the Biggest Problems with The Narnia Books" headline and subtitle: This will be one of Greta Gerwig's biggest hurdles in her adaptation. Below is a picture from a previous Narnia adaptation with the pevensies in king and queen clothes on horseback.

Did...Did Tolkien write this article?
