If Betsy DeVos is confirmed as the Secretary of Education, we have signed a death sentence for an entire generation of children. As if Donald Trump’s other picks were not dangerous enough, this one has the opportunity and mindset to completely dismantle public education. Education is the core of any society, it is how we advance, it is how we survive. The decisions we, as adults, make in regards to the education of our children, will have lasting effects on our nation and the world as a whole. Our education system is deeply flawed and our country is already falling behind. This woman has zero experience with public schools, she has zero experience with financial aid, she knows nothing about the average American student’s struggle and her ignorance in these fields not only disqualify her from holding this vital position, but it makes her nomination and potential confirmation dangerous. We must all demand better, not for ourselves, but for our children. I cannot express this enough.

Thank you to Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Tim Kane, Sen. Al Franken, Sen. Chris Murphy, and others, for taking on Mrs. DeVos and standing up for the students of this nation.

Ladies are boss and on Saturday, Queen Boss, the new eight-episode TV series hosted by Tracey Edmonds, will premiere on Centric. So go brush your shoulders off, ladies. The series is the first business competition reality series highlighting black female entrepreneurs.

The new reality show is the brainchild of executives at Smart Women. Smart Ideas. (SWSI), which has developed programming focused on giving a platform to women in business and entrepreneurship.

Hey, so did you know that librarians tend to run liberal?

And that they’re really against censorship?

And that nearly all libraries have policies that prohibit people from harassing others inside?

And that nearly all libraries have free wifi and desktop computers that erase history when you’re done using them?

And that librarians are totally chill with you hanging out all day? (provided you don’t spill things on the books)

And that libraries often have huge offerings of dvds which you can watch on your laptop in the library?

And that libraries tend to have lots of resources for folks who find themselves in distress?

What I’m saying is, if shit hits the fan, go to the library, you’re welcome here.

I actually have so much love for dogs
