@georgetakei Great article. My mum had a woodland burial in 2005. A wicker casket & we marked the place with a slice of tree trunk engraved my brother-in-law which has been left to rot down & provide homes for insects!

So far, in 2023, the United States has seen 116 mass shootings, at least 10 of which have taken place in schools. According to EdWeek, there have been 154 school shootings in the U.S. since 2018, 51 of which took place in 2022 alone—the most ever recorded in a single year.

Yet instead of making any effort to restrict access to firearms, the Republican Party is working overtime to ban something they deem much more dangerous. Books.

I dislike things with misleading labels, and especially despise #DaylightSavingsTime, but this morning's #BikeRide to school was surprisingly uneventful. No close passes, no cat calls (yes at 45 with a kid on board it still happens), no one using the #BikeLane as their personal car storage area.

It was...nice.
Can we please do it like this everyday?
