Currently accompanying my daughter at a metal concert. One of the members of the opening band came out onto the stage, and as one all the Gen. X parents sitting off to the side stopped chatting and got out our earplugs.
Exactly this.

Absolutely delightful. Bathrooms in convention centers, arenas, theaters, and other public places NEED to be more flexible to take into account the variable audience on any given day.

Exciting news: Illinois bans...book bans. https://bookriot.com/illinois-has-officially-banned-book-bans/

Gov. Pritzker: "Young people shouldn’t be kept from learning about the realities of our world; I want them to become critical thinkers, exposed to ideas that they disagree with, proud of what our nation has overcome, and thoughtful about what comes next. Everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in the books they read, the art they see, the history they learn."

This is what leadership looks like.

Illinois Has Officially Banned Book Bans

Illinois is the first state to officially ban book bans through new legislation that takes effect January 1, 2024.

BOOK RIOT

I think a genie should grant the wish of every "Return to Tradition" guy posting on the internet, and they should all awake tomorrow in the time-period of their choice, in the nation or city they romanticize most from the past.

--as a servant, woman, or indentured laborer.

Decided to take today off writing, as it’s my birthday. So at 12:01 a.m. my brain jolted alive with a shiny new book idea, and I spent the entire first hour of my birthday…writing. Thanks, brain. Knew I could count on you for support.

In a beautiful twist of poetic justice, the Bible is now banned in a number of Utah schools.

I’m against book-banning in general, but logic has failed, so it seems they’re fighting fire with fire — and doing it well.

The Bible is banned in these Utah elementary and middle schools now for ‘vulgarity or violence’

A Utah school district is removing the Bible from elementary and middle schools after a parent submitted a high-profile complaint.

Hello, lovelies! It has been a WHILE. Sorry to drop off the face of the world, or at least the World Wide Web. (Does anyone still call it that ? I think my GenX is showing.) I was sick, then catching up on life, then, well, holiday weekend + end of school year. BUT I’m here now, and I’ve missed you! What have you been up to? How ARE you???

As for me, I’m back to sunset-watching with hubby, as this photo shows. Yay!
