This is my blog. I speak for no one but myself here. The words I write, the images I post, and the articles I link to interest no one but me. I stand by what I put here, however, it is not a reflection of time, effort, or particular care. I just want a clearinghouse of what does interest me and a space to spout out poorly written and thoughtout rants. Consider this a disclaimer.

I resent being asked to give money to people so that they can do something they are going to do anyway.

Say whatever you want but public school teachers are public servants, doing good work out of a sense of duty.

There are a bunch of people that I follow that are a lot more eloquent (and smarter) about this issue than I am but for me, proving that you are who you pretend to be on the Internet should be a no-brainer as a starting point. https://t.co/Wcherkalx8

I think the carnival of ideas that is social media would be served better by real name usage, which is problematic for a number of disparate groups, but... If people had to own what they said, wouldn’t that be better for discourse?

Facebook talking about requiring verified identifies for political ad buying but why not take it further and require everyone to have a verified identity? No one would *have* to use their real name publicly, but at least the platform would know who was sh*tposting.
