in my view, the republican assault on libraries, librarians, schools, children, families, parents and their right to freedom of expression & thought & association & education should be at the leading edge of democratic & progressive advocacy. it's so freaking obvious and there's so much silence.

Marion Walter was born in 1928 to a Jewish family in Berlin.

In 1939, she escaped Nazi Germany on a Kindertransport - a rescue operation that evacuated thousands of Jewish children to England before WWII.

Eventually Marion arrived in the US & earned her doctorate in math education from Harvard. She became a professor & founded the Boston Area Mathematics Specialists focused on improving math education for children.

Marion passed away in 2021, at age 92. https://mathshistory.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Walter/ #HistoryRemix

@Nickittynic exactly. Thank you so much. For me, it’s the healthcare providers that ask me if they should put one on. Putting the burden on me to ask them to reduce transmission (of anything).

I love closing out the year with this. 😊

On December 31, 1995, exactly 27 years ago today, legendary cartoonist Bill Watterson published his final 'Calvin and Hobbes' comic strip.

How beautiful and appropriate it was, and a timeless reminder of what we have before us in 2023. ❤️

Happy New Year, ya'll!

@ashton The only problem with your post is giving Greta’s credit to Elon. He deserves no credit. Don’t allow him to steal from Greta.

As Southwest CEO Bob Jordan pretends to apologize—remember—SW got a $7B federal bailout, spent $5.6B of that on Stock Buybacks, gave their CEO a raise to $9.1M, & forced frontline workers into 16 hour shifts under threat of termination—while spending $0 updating SW software😳

Southwest’s debacle isn’t an accident. It’s the predictable result of billionaire & corporate corruption & greed—& thousands of workers & travelers are paying the price.

In a just world SW execs will face criminal charges.
