For Assistant Athletic Trainer Justin Rogers, the path to understanding his identity as a gay man working in sports took time.
Now, with the #SeaKraken, Rogers is living authentically with a team that knows his sexuality → bit.ly/RogersLetter23 – at Seattle, WA
ALT Photo of Justin Rogers with white text that reads: “A letter to my younger self” attributed to “Kraken Assistant Athletic Trainer Justin Rogers”
ALT Quote graphic with an image of Justin Rogers talking to Jaycob Megna. The quote reads: “As you build your support system and add to your chosen family, you will realize you are never alone. So many people are in this with you. Organizations like Pride Tape and the Alphabet Sports Collective will try to crease acceptance directly within the hockey world.”

Someone make a "How It Would Have Ended" series, where creators drink and explain how their canceled series would have ended, and we get to watch actors play out the roles in someone's backyard or whatever

Inflation is down to 2.97% but prices are still higher than they should be.
As we've screamed all along—the leading driver of high prices was not inflation, but corporate price gouging. And corporations fund politicians to prevent accountability. That is the problem we face.

Emmett Till would have been 82 years old today.
Anthony Fauci is 82 years old. Bernie Sanders turns 82 next month. Joe Biden will be 82 next year.
It wasn’t that long ago that Emmett Till was killed. Some of our history is closer than we think.

If teachers feel like they have to stay late and come in on the weekend in order to be ready for an open house or the first day of school, you need to rethink your Pre-Planning Schedule. Don't burn people out before the school year begins.

JUST IN: A federal judge has just ORDERED Llano County Texas to return "all books" that were removed from their libraries due to their content or viewpoint.
Library patrons successfully argued that "content-based restrictions" were likely unconstitutional.
The Texas judge is also prohibiting the officials from removing any more books while a lawsuit remains pending.
The books that were banned included a book for teens that calls the Ku Klux Klan a terrorist group, Isabel Wilkerson’s “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents” and a comedic children’s book with three stories from Dawn McMillan’s “I Need a New Butt!” series.
The decision could set wide reaching precedent in light of recent book banning in Florida, supported by Ron DeSantis.
What a great victory for books! 💙
