Notably: One of the many ironies of LGBTQ+ Pride Month: it is also Student Safety Month. The talking points typically focus on what students themselves can do to be safe–at bus stops, at proms, driving, drinking, having sex, swimming. The talking points don’t usually address the more pernicious factors that undermine young people’s sense of security, which in turn makes them less careful about themselves, since they don’t see themselves cared for: toxic parents, oppressive or dismissive teachers, and now onerous legislation that dictates what bathrooms they may use, what sports they may play, what books they may read. It’s not students whose judgments we should be worried about.

I am not insensible of the benefits of elegant luxury; yet I reflect with some pain, that if the importers of silk had introduced the art of printing, already practised by the Chinese, the comedies of Menander and the entire decads of Livy would have been perpetuated in the editions of the sixth century.
A larger view of the globe might at least have promoted the improvement of speculative science, but the Christian geography was forcibly extracted from texts of Scripture, and the study of nature was the surest symptom of an unbelieving mind. The orthodox faith confined the habitable world to one temperate zone, and represented the earth as an oblong surface, four hundred days’ journey in length, two hundred in breadth, encompassed by the ocean, and covered by the solid crystal of the firmament.
–From Edward Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

That closet is probably where Tar-Gay should also hide their unsold Butt light inventory if they ever want to earn a profit for their share holders again! Ever since they closed their garden department its been a ghetto version of Walmart, messy floors, cluttered and un unstocked shelving, no pricing not a worker in sight, pretty soon to go under like Kmart did after it started to look like that! Why anyone drives there and deals with that annoying parking lot is beyond me TarGay lost my biz a decade ago.
