In my county the school board and candidates mostly share the same refrain that we need School Resource Officers, in spite of the harm we know they do particularly to minority students, in case there’s an active shooter.
Time after time when there is an active shooter, the SRO does nothing. In Uvalde they spun a story from whole cloth about the SRO confronting the shooter on the way in. Complete lie.
wtf...why are these the people in charge...
"The draft Supreme Court opinion striking down Roe v. Wade heavily references Sir Matthew Hale, a 17th century Brit who dehumanized women."

200 pages into Insomnia, my 5th grader asked me to coach his Battle of the Books team. A fun diversion! But a diversion.
I’m back at it. I’d still like to claim the Tower within a year but I’d also like to read Psalm for the Wild Built once I’m done with Insomnia.
It’s more and thicker books than I’d counted on. I took many breaks to read other authors. 2 of the kids were born along the way, wiping out my reading time. So after 8 or so years, I haven’t even reached book 4 in the 7 book series.
Toward the end of 2021 and Needful Things (not Tower related but I was interested) I resolved to knuckle down, read nothing else, and finish this within a year. Bought the remaining books so they’d loom over me.
Years ago I decided to reread the #DarkTower series by #StephenKing , but this time to read all of the other books tied into it, in order. Despite being a #constantReader since childhood, I’d never gotten around to It or The Stand.
It’s been interesting! When I got to the revised edition of The Gunslinger I read it with the original next to me, and a guide to the changes on my phone. The person who wrote the guide went into great detail but omitted everything related to sex. Curious.
