🔖 Read What if we just stopped? by Dan Sinker.
I’ve mostly stopped. I rarely check Bluesky or Instagram. When I do, I deliberately avoid stuff that makes me angry. I go to NPR when I feel a need to get in touch with the news. I blog. I chat on Discord. I think my life is better for this.
🔖 Read The End of the Adventure by Drew DiMiglio (The Independent).
This piece about a local fun park closing gets at the importance of third spaces for teens but only goes into their loss a little. I’d love to see more in-depth writing about this.
Watched: Murder on the Orient Express 🍿
My third time watching this. It’s great every time. Branagh’s Poirot is so melancholy.
Watched: A Haunting in Venice 🍿
I love Poirot, I love Branagh, and I love spooky stuff, so this was a win for me.

🔖 Read Wake schools restricts parents’ ability to challenge books, citing new state law.
Wake is interpreting recent changes in state law to mean that parents can now only restrict their own children from borrowing specific school library books, not that books must be removed.
Good. Parents can still challenge classroom materials.
