My YouTube algorithm is currently serving me recordings of old Emergency Broadcast System warnings, dino synth music, and New Age cassette tape rips.

"You just made a yummy sound, so I thought you liked the dessert."

NOW IMPROVED!

Throw in a good episode or two of Twilight Zone, too.

On that note, not all literature has to be sight-read. Supplying audio versions as alternatives can help emerging readers. Show them text-to-speech features already built into their phones or other devices.

This seems like the solid foundation for an alternative assignment accommodation (or better yet, the teacher having differentiated assignments built right in).

Also: kids that age shouldn't know the structure of an Instagram post.

Some Autistic/AuDHD folks love idioms and figurative speech because it's "interesting." I've heard a good test is thinking about how you process a phrase like "raining cats and dogs."

That's a cool iteration of the flag.

How are you locking it down?

Is that gluten-free?

The phone thing is such a fucking dilemma. On the one hand, I don't want our kid to be so out of step, but on the other hand--

*gestures at everything negative about phones*

There's a very good episode of the If Books Could Kill podcast on this book.

How is BAT BOY LIVES!?

What is that? It seems so familiar.

Was it the one from the movie, possibly?

That is a VERY funny thing to call it as a result of what happened.

Osama Bin Laden is perhaps known as the world’s most infamous terrorist but as it turns out, the man is quite the gamer like many of us.

Amateurs in the early 2000s were making better DVD menus on bootleg DVDs.

Wait... so, Duracell and Energizer *both* have pink rabbits as mascots?

If you ever want to get these ripped to digital, happy to help!

"No! I will not hide in the fruit cellar! You think I'm fruity, huh?!"

It looks like 2002 edgy kids' TV intercommercial bumper CGI trapped in amber.

For whatever it's worth, Sumerian praise poetry sounds fascinating.

Lotus (in myth at least)

I'd never really thought of it like that.

East Asia was primed for "CDs can be for things other than music" so much earlier than the U.S.

SEGA CD seemed like a novelty in the U.S. because it was. Lots of folks still didn't have home computers yet, and if they did, they probably didn't have CD-ROM.

I would love to know your thoughts after you've read it.
