WCK is an amazing organization. They always go wherever they are needed.

The results of the election in the U.K. gives me some semblance of hope. Just maybe everyone can come to their senses and realize what's at stake for this country.

This song was running through my head all day Monday. I play it for my students when we study the American Revolution. They can tell you exactly why we didn't want a king, and they're 10.

"Thomas Jefferson died on July 4th 1826, 50 years after the colonies issued the Declaration of Independence. It was denounced by conservatives worldwide. Monarchy, aristocracy and state-supported religion - that's what conservatives were defending then." ~ Carl Sagan: Visionary

People in our community are scared right now, and rightly so. I'm scared for my future too. But I believe our best response is not despair, but to get organized and fight for our rights. Don't wait until November to start. One way is to help build the Oct. 19 National March in Columbus.

I agree, although I am hopeful that if we can get the citizen redistricting amendment passed in November, we may at least be able to have a more fair representation in state government, and not the supermajority that we have now.

I will fully admit that this state leans conservative, but the extremist views this government has been pushing is ridiculous. Democrats have been totally blocked from any conversation.

"Fandom" certainly has changed since the advent of social media. If I don't like something, I just stop watching it, not go online to tell everyone else why they are wrong for enjoying something.

Same - I put it on network assuming they would cut in and then had to hurry and switch to MSNBC to just catch the end. But it's not like our democracy is riding on this or anything - for god's sake, we need to see the answer to that Wheel of Fortune puzzle.

If you ask me “were you like this before the pandemic?” I will be honest with you and respond that no I was not like this before the pandemic, for you see before the pandemic I truly believed (I foolishly believed) that in the face of catastrophe we would stand together.
