The difference between bravery and cowardice is action. Do not dance on the knife’s edge between the two, wield the blade and push through.

Pie bald White tail deer. Very rare, occurring in only 1% of the population. Both buck and doe must carry the "pie" gene and reproduce. 😍🎯

“it isnt something you have to read critically” well 😭

[oysters-aint-for-me]

there’s a used bookstore in rural western massachusetts (the montague book mill) whose motto is “books you don’t need in a place you can’t find” and i just feel like that summarizes tumblr too

Finally, a win

This dumbass stigma that "hick" states are somehow dumber than the more urban ones because they're from poorer areas has to cease...

[animenutcase]

Hicks are the ones who put us in space.

[delicatefury]

You know what they changed? What Alabama is doing so different from California and New York?

They’re teaching the kids phonics.

It is legally required.

Turns out, actually learning to read improves students’ skills across the board. Who woulda guessed?

[ohifonlyx33]

They also started holding kids back at 3rd grade because the foundations of education are important.

What's a highschool teacher supposed to do with a 16 year old who can't do 12x15 without a calculator and can't spell mischief without autocorrect?

Oh, and they've also heavily restricted the gender and DEI insanity... baseball, huh?

[sugar-petals]

since ai companies are now scanning and shredding any literature they can seize, our collective 'hoard all the books even if you don't have enough space for them' instinct has paid off
