If you’d like to join me in helping Lakota families and/or rural libraries this year, please read this post. Over 6 weeks in 2019, we raised $2669.94 for the Lakota families, touching 27 lives. What can we do in 2020?
Current total: Lakota, $1608.94; Rural libraries, $321.62.

A both/and approach is so much more nuanced than the current either/or approach we keep seeing in the discussions about reopening schools: “The choice isn’t online schooling or schooling as it was pre-pandemic. The choice is between online schooling and a shell of the version we had.

There is no good solution — just band-aids on a broken system.”

I missed him at this SDCC visit but it was wonderful just knowing he was there leading this Children’s March even if I didn’t make it there in time.
