I'm sure there is a legitimate reason for the name of this data file, but I can't help but feel like Statistics is trying to square up on me early and often this semester.

Suspect arrested in predawn fire that left parts of Mississippi’s largest synagogue in charred ruins A fire heavily damaged Jackson’s only synagogue before dawn Saturday – the same house of worship that was firebombed by the Ku Klux Klan in 1967 because the rabbi had been an advocate for civil rights.

Words can’t express my rage. At least 2 students on lockdown at Brown University already survived mass shootings.
Zoe Weissman survived Parkland in 2018.
Mia Tretta was shot in the stomach in Santa Clarita in 2019 and watched her best friend be murdered.

And now…again.

Out of nowhere Little Man started requesting "Golden" on constant repeat this morning. I think we are up to 13 or 14 times now, but it's hard to say since he needs his "space" to listen and I've therefore been banished from the living room. Guess it's his time to shine.

As we were getting out of the car after school Little Man gave a big yawn. "What a long day," he said. "We've been learning about "w" AND "g"!"

Enjoyed a lovely walk in the park -- not just because of weather, but because of the company.

The last 20 living Israeli hostages were released by Hamas on Monday morning as part of a cease-fire in Gaza, the Israeli military said, starting an exchange that was also expected to see Israel release nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners later in the day.

The more I learn about neurodiversity, the less I take offense to how others respond. It makes me more open minded and loving. So thank you to everyone that shares what it’s like in your shoes. You make the world better.

This doesn't make any of us safe. This doesn't help any of us. My heart breaks every single day when I see what is happening in Gaza. I feel helpless. I know many of you do too.

But when people enact violence in our name, it makes everyone less safe and it makes peace less likely.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis.

Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.
