@washingtonpost this is a big headline change! Seems like it might warrant a note in the article if you completely change the headline, right?

I’ve never done this before but this is not a normal moment.

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones. But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said." We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized. Credit: Ira Byock.

🚨 McCarthy & Republicans don’t want us to know that not only did they raise the debt limit 3 times w/out draconian cuts while Trump was in office — they voted to SUSPEND the debt ceiling all together with no limit. This allowed the Treasury to borrow money at will. Then when the suspension was over, a new ceiling was installed, based on how much the treasury borrowed.

Amid all the attention to the cut-and-pasted anti-abortion movement talking points that Judge Kaczmaryk loaded into his abortion-pill ruling, there’s been relatively scant discussion of his ludicrous explanation of why the plaintiffs have standing.

@Billy_K_Ball So sorry for your loss and the ensuing harassment! Thanks for sharing your story.

Ohio officials have now said there is nothing they can do about their state's recently uncovered Nazi homeschooler network. So, in OH you can graduate from HS having been taught actual racism. But you can't graduate having been taught ABOUT racism as a systemic force.
