@ibwatson Sounds lovely. And subtle. My first husband used to spray the bathroom with Polo and then walk through it. It was suffocating.

@ThunderousProphet You may be onto something here.
Republicans should watch this👇, and think carefully before attacking Social Security. A huge majority in both the US and France demand a secure retirement.

How can the US combat the spread of misinformation? Maybe by taking a page out of Finland's book -- media education in public schools. Middle school teacher Saara Martikka & the Natl Audiovisual Institute's Leo Pekkala share their efforts. #velshi https://www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/watch/view-from-finland-misinformation-fight-begins-with-education-161183301578
@mnemonicoverload @samir Without said analytics, how do you know if your site is succeeding? Do you have 100 unique hits per month or do you have 200,000?
@samir The cookie notices are thanks to the UK (or maybe all of Europe, I forget). Their rules. Google may benefit from them, but it’s not their doing.
A powerful #lesson - source unknown.
A teacher tells her students, "I'm going to come around and whisper to each of you whether you're a witch or a regular person. Your goal is to build the largest group possible that does NOT have a #witch in it. At the end, any group found to include a witch gets a failing grade."
The teens dove into grilling each other. One fairly large group formed, but most of the students broke into small, exclusive groups, turning away anyone they thought guilty.

As an expert on Social Security explained on my SiriusXM show: Don't listen to GOP's lies that Social Security is on the verge of bankruptcy. It has enough funding to pay 100% of benefits to at least 2035. SS could use some tweaks but the GOP opposed SS from the start and has long wanted to gut it. We can NOT let them! https://youtu.be/Ni-ii9gIt8w
It's weird, as a librarian, to have to have conversations with yourself about how far you would go. Would I be willing to go to jail for 30 days because I did the right thing and refused to take LGBTQ books off the shelves? Could my family afford me not working for 30 days for doing the right thing? Would I still have a job afterward? Would I be able to maintain my clearances to work with children if I had been to jail for 30 days for not removing allegedly sexually explicit books from shelves?
Long Covid…
