Do we really need to explain to people that it is really, REALLY important to read to young children? Like, you, personally, need to read to your child - your voice, your face, your hand gestures, your lap, your arms, your closeness. What kind of parent doesn't know this in their bones?

Why does Korea have a holiday for the alphabet?
Because unlike other writing systems that evolved over centuries, Hangul was the work of one dude who solved mass illiteracy by sitting down and creating a brand new fully-formed system from scratch that anyone can learn almost instantly.

Happy Hangul Day!
It's a Korean holiday honoring the best and easiest alphabet in the world! Everyone in Korea gets the day off work to contemplate it, but it only takes fifteen minutes to learn!
So today, learn to read Korean in 15 minutes!

fwiw if you want to make a strategic case for congressional democrats trying to impeach trump if they take majorities, i think the first step is impeaching hegseth, the bar is lower and the likelihood of success is probably much higher

Tragically, we see incidents where people survive major storms but are killed by carbon monoxide from portable generators. Never run your generator indoors. Run generators outdoors at least 20ft away from your home.

If you are in the path of Hurricane Isaias and will use a portable generator to keep the power on, make sure you have working carbon monoxide alarms.
Portable generators can produce enough carbon monoxide to kill in minutes.

Isaias is expected to strengthen and be a strong hurricane when it approaches the northern Gulf Coast on Friday. A life-threatening storm surge is expected along a portion of the northern Gulf Coast, and a Storm Surge Warning is now in effect. Residents should follow advice given by local officials.

Friendly reminder with everything in the news as of late:
You do not have to read everything out there to “stay informed”. It is not your job to endlessly consume news that harms you.
You are not a bad person for not being up to date on every tragic thing happening in the world.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

A LOT OF STAY AT HOME PARENTS ARE ONLY DOING IT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND A JOB THAT PAYS MORE THAN THE COST OF DAYCARE
"Making day care free, while offering nothing to stay-at-home parents, appeals to the educated, urban, affluent voters who have come to make up the Democratic base, but not to the electorate at large," Marc Novicoff argues:
The Problem With Democrats' Favorite Policy Proposal
Universal child care appeals to the party's cosmopolitan base—but not to most of the country.

Set up a recurring transfer to my savings on paydays of the money I would typically not need for spending. Hoping to trick myself into thinking I don’t have it available to spend

Most years it would be crunch time for Christmas gifts by now but I’ve decided to cut down on the number of personalized handmade gifts I give out. So I have this big list of my giftees and…it’s manageable?
