On January 2, 1936, the Bryant School, once located on Twelfth and B Streets Southeast, released for the day at noon. While her fellow classmates headed home, Juanita McGee, age six, didn’t make it back to her East Capitol Street home that afternoon. 

Before your mind goes to a dark place, don’t worry. Juanita did eventually make it home.

    #Audible is playing a dangerous game with my bank account. Saw what was going on #BookTwitter and made this for my favorite #Booktok & #Bookstagram personality, @expertbooksmuggler. I originally wanted to do an extensive list of #LGBTQIAPLUS #BookRecommendations, but life doesn't always go as planned. This is probably why I should plan months ahead like I do with my #NationalPoetryMonth shares. So I put together a list of books in graphic form without a #blogpost to go along with them. Cinnamon Cake is such a drama queen. Too much of a drama queen for an alley #cat. I found out today that #BarnesAndNoble will waive their new premium #membership system fees if you renewed your membership using their old plan, which I did in February. So I upgraded to see if it's worth it. It so happens that I learned that they're having a #MemorialDay deal where premium members earn triple stamps and #RewardsMembers earn double stamps. I racked up 21 stamps today having ordered from their café & made some purchases. I both hate and love this. "Translation means doing violence upon the original, means warping and distorting it for foreign, unintended eyes." "History isn't a premade tapestry that we've got to suffer, a closed world with no exit. We can form it. Make it. We just have to choose to make it." And some more #campus #wildlife for you. I don't know what kind of #bird this is, but it's been showing up in the area. Several live in a dead palm tree in my yard.
