Many people have reached out interested in starting a literacy program in their area. If you are one of these people, I’m putting together a training especially for you.

When I’m not complaining online about social issues or working on my farm, I teach adults how to read.
So grateful the Free Press asked me to write about the adult literacy work that has consumed and enlightened my life for nearly two decades!
(And it’s actually related to the culture issues. Progressive ed needs some time in the corner t…
Personally, I celebrate Josh Stein's win in the NC Governor's race! He's a good man. His opponent was the Black version of the orange sadist. The fact that voters turned down the grotesque robins-son gives me hope that they will also turn down the grotesque orange sadist, and elect Harris, a very good woman. I'll take every bit of good news I can get!!
Yes, good, but Allred lost to Cruz.
I am SO upset about that. I had deliberately stayed away from the news until the past 25 minutes or so. I know now what the stories mean when they say of a person who has lost a war, that their mouth felt "filled with ashes". That is how I feel.

this is me, thinking aloud.
inthe meantime, I have LOTS of these gummies and plan on staying very high for the next week or so.
but the bottom line is that right now, it feels like my actuarial situation might have changed pretty radically last night.
I know, I know...only if I let it. but how true is that, really?
