Feeling adrift at the moment.

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter reconnaissance for an attack on an alleged North Vietnamese-controlled village at My Lai.

As the ground attack developed below, Thompson realised he was in fact witnessing something something else:

A massacre.

He decided to act. /1 ๐Ÿงต #history #histodons

Incredible, sensitive, scientifically informed reporting from a local paper in St. Louis, saying what we all expected: Parents whose children were treated at the Transgender Center completely contradict the account of a self-described whistleblower, explaining a slow, methodical proccess for treating trans youth in their care.

Read this. Share this. The truth deserves to get as big an audience as transphobic lies.

Parents push back on allegations against St. Louis transgender center. โ€˜Iโ€™m baffled.โ€™

Accounts from almost two dozen parents contradict examples provided by former case manager at transgender center.

Not sure who needs to hear this today, but remember, your local public library benefits from being used! Usage statistics are how librarians argue for funding! By using this shared service more, you are making it BETTER for everyone else!

It's the glory of the commons, not the tragedy of the commons. Go to the library!!!

A minor fact about Jimmy Carter, but one of my favorites: He's a half-2nd-cousin to Berry Gordy III (1929-), founder of Motown Records, through their shared great-grandfather, slaveholder James Thomas Gordy (1828-1889). Carter is descended through James Thomas's wife Harriet Emily Helms (1836-1884), and Berry Gordy is descended through James Thomas's rape of an enslaved woman named Esther Johnson. That's some American history for you.
The shame is real.
Look, the ducks are building a bridge from French fries... AKA Spanish I won't be using any time soon.
I've never assembled an IKEA kit this badly, but not for lack of trying.
The struggle is real.
