Reminder from a Pittsburgher who was at one point Mr. Rogers neighbor: “Look for the helpers” was intended to be advice for his usual audience, children. We’re grown ups now. We’re supposed to be the helpers.

Like, my daughters knew who That Character was because I've been showing them older episodes for years, but they needed a reminder when the reveal actually happened.

Moozoog is the plural for moose. Moose (mooz) is an Ojibwe word, but y’all didn’t keep the plural.

Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!
