My elementary school library did not allow K-2 kids to read the books on the upright shelves until 3rd grade. We had to read the books in bins, Eloise, Curious George, etc. I had read all of them and was reading big books at home. 1/
#OneGoodThing #MothersDay
During library period I would look at the books I could not check out and was totally captured by the title Les Miserables which I, of course pronounced wrong. I wanted to read it so bad, but the librarian said no, only books in bins 2/ #OneGoodThing #MothersDay
I told Mom and she wrote a note saying I had her permission to read books above my grade level. The librarian tore it up and said that rules were rules. So no Les Miserables. I told Mom, she muttered a few things & wrote a note for that exact book 3/ #OneGoodThing #MothersDay
The librarian again said no and so I said something to her and was sent to the principal's office and Mom had to come to school to discuss my discipline. The principal told mom that I (first grader) had called the librarian a bourgeois fascist 4/ #OneGoodThing #MothersDay
Mom asked if she let me borrow the book. The Principal said of course not. So Mom said, "Well, then she is a bourgeois fascist. Where do you think she learned the phrase?" 5/ #onegoodthing #MothersDay
Then Mom drove me fifty miles to a town with a bookstore where she bought me Les Miserables and told me to be sure and sit right in front of the librarian while I was reading it. 6/ #onegoodthing #MothersDay
Then she got me a county library card and wrote a note excusing me from school for the time period when the county bookmobile came to town (during school hours) 7/ #onegoodthing #MothersDay
And so I read Les Miserables in 1st grade and much of it went over my head, I'm sure. But every page I read felt sweet and powerful. 8/8 #onegoodthing #MothersDay

I am getting exhausted by the stupidity of the RW talking points regarding Kavanaugh. Let's consider the main ones. 1/
The Kavanaugh Didn't Do It But It Happened argument. Variations include the doppelganger theory raised by ethically deficient mutants. He was not a stranger so this is not mistaken identification. It's either = or. Own your misogyny, haters 2/
The All Men Are Rapists When They're Young Argument - this is mostly coming from Republican women. For partisan purposes, they are calling their husbands, fathers, and sons rapists. Wow. 3/

What change in the algorithms made Black Twitter disappear? I follow many people who suddenly aren't showing up even though I read a lot of my timeline. They can't all be on a break? @YesSirJames, @eclecticbrotha, @BravenakBlog @AngryBlackLady @marcushjohnson
No, I looked, they are all tweeting. What the hell?
Is it my twitter flood of GOP predators somehow changing who comes up on my timeline? They would be tweeting about Kavanaugh, too, he's hostile to voting rights.
