Schoolhouse Rock!: The Official Guide | Tom Yohe, George Newall

I have had this on loop all day. 250 years later, and we're still fighting this. Thanks to all who went out there today to fight the good fight. I got blindsided with a hellacious cold and didn't want to spread my germs, but I've been there in spirit. #resist 💙✊🏻♥️

If you've never seen Schoolhouse Rock, especially this one, it's worth 3 minutes of your time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvOZs3g3qIo

TheBookHippie Feel better!!!! 5mo

ChaoticMissAdventures I live in Portland Oregon so we are pretty learned in the protest ways. I was Bail Friend today. Meaning I hang out, all my friends have my number written on their arm and if they get arrested or sent to hospital I am in charge of organizing their release. We rotate Bail Friend duties. It has been a quiet day and all my people are done for the day so that feels good. 5mo

Leftcoastzen There is a terrible cold going around. My letter carrier had it . He kept thinking he had COVID, but tested negative 3 times. His lasted nearly a week 5mo

Deblovestoread Feel better! We had good weather, larger crowd, lots of honking and some fantastic clever signs. 💙✊🏼💙 5mo

dabbe @Ruthiella ✊🏻💙✊🏻 5mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie How the hell do you get a cold when it's 100+ degrees outside? 🤔🤣 5mo

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures What a stellar idea! I've never heard of that before! Glad all your peeps are safe. ✊🏻💙✊🏻 5mo

dabbe @Aims42 TY! When will we learn? 😳 5mo

dabbe @Graciouswarriorprincess Yay you! I hope all went well and that everyone is safe. ✊🏻💙✊🏻 5mo

dabbe @Leftcoastzen #ruhroh You know, I didn't even think of testing to see if it's Covid. I wonder if my kits have expired. 🤔 5mo

dabbe @Deblovestoread TY! You people in Oregon ROCK! ✊🏻💙✊🏻 5mo

Graciouswarriorlibrarian @dabbe Yes. We stayed safe and it was peaceful protesting. 5mo

Ruthiella @Deblovestoread The signs are the best. Such great reading this afternoon. One of my favorites was History: “Don‘t make me repeat myself”. 5mo

melissajayne The photos I saw from the various rallies looked amazing, meanwhile turnout for Donnie‘s party was in the toilet 5mo

One day late due to Litsy posting problems yesterday. 😭
1. Seeing an albino peacock at our local nursery. 🦚
2. Planting our new rose bush. 🥀
3. Pip the Destructor. She was bored and wanted her bag of treats. 🤣🐾🤣
4. Made plan reservations to annoy @TheLudicReader with my presence this summer! ♥️🇨🇦🤍
5. My loves. Where would I be without them. 💙🩵💙

mcctrish Did I miss a chapter ? I thought today was #16 I just read about the dr saying no more visitors and learning about who the ‘friend‘ is, not a friend, just a fan #goodgrief 8mo

mcctrish I‘m not a fan of the dr 8mo

CogsOfEncouragement I thought handing Esther the newspaper articles was messed up, but I also thought it was an interesting way to tell us what happened when we have been relying on Esther to give us the scoop. 8mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish ugh did I misnumber?!? 8mo

dabbe I totally see the doctor differently. Esther's mom views everything Esther does as a rebuke against her, which makes Esther feel alienated from the one woman who should serve as her guide into adulthood. When Doctor Nolan realizes that seeing her mother and others only harms Esther and ends the visits, to me she becomes a mother figure to Esther—one who is warmer and more accepting of Esther's conflicts than Esther's real mother. ⬇️ 8mo

dabbe Though this may seem cruel to Mrs. Greenwood, it seems to be a necessary step toward Esther's recovery and is evidenced by how relieved Esther is by the doctor's choice. Somebody finally noticed what she needed and willingly gave it to Esther. 8mo

mcctrish @dabbe oh I totally think the mom should be banned, Esther doesn‘t need to explain to her why she feels the way she does ( as if she could) I‘m mad at the dr for springing the electric shocks on Esther - I don‘t feel they are on the same page with how “I will let you know if and when we go that route” plays out 8mo

dabbe @mcctrish Is Esther in for more electric shock treatment? I've only read to Ch. 16, so my thoughts were based on that. I guess my views will change with Ch. 17. #ruhroh 8mo

mcctrish @dabbe I‘m mixed up with the chapters 🤦🏻‍♀️ 8mo

dabbe @mcctrish Easy to do; they flow quickly in this one. 🤗 I might even finish tonight. 🤞🏻 8mo

Bookwormjillk Ok yeah now I don‘t like that doctor anymore. 8mo

ElizaMarie So, #InTheDoctorsDefense I get why she didn't tell her the night before. I think Esther should have a say in if/when she gets shock treatment, but.. in this world/time/hospital she doesn't, so telling her and letting her freak out about it all night could have caused her to hurt herself, whereas springing it on her, is a bit more kind (in a - kind even though we are subjecting you to a treatment you don't consent to kind of way) 8mo

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie good point! This is one of those situations where you can‘t really win! 8mo

Clare-Dragonfly @ElizaMarie That‘s fair, but I‘m still pretty mad at the doctor, because as I see it she broke her promise. She told Esther, but not until Esther had figured it out herself. She should have given her a few days of warning. 8mo

julesG Of course it is. That's Murphy's Law, or so. Just like you have to get staining food/drink on your new shirt/jumper/trousers with your last bite/drink before leaving the house when you've only been wearing the item for about 3 minutes. 9mo
