As a newly adopted Illinoisan who is also super gay, I was overjoyed when my favorite state finally passed marriage equality earlier this month. This was long time coming for Illinois, historically one of the nation's more liberal states, and many legislators and citizens alike were getting antsy and jealous as states around us began passing their own laws at a record pace. When the votes were finally counted, I had no qualms about running tearfully through my workplace to tell everyone the great news that minute. That's why it bums me out that, almost immediately, Christian groups started flailing left and right about how terrible same-sex marriage is for Illinois. For one, Bishop Thomas John Paprocki of the Diocese of Springfield is actually holding an exorcism tomorrow, the day the marriage bill will be signed, as a means of condemning same-sex marriage. So there's that. But while some folks might write the bishop off as a little bit extreme, people may just listen to Francis Cardinal George, the Archbishop of Chicago, who found it necessary to pen a letter to the state's Catholics about why marriage equality is so bad. Unfortunately for him, like most pieces of Catholic PR lately, his letter doesn't actually make much sense. Rather, it proves that now is exactly the right time to pass marriage equality in Illinois and hopefully nationwide. Let go piece by piece, shall we?

'I'm terrified it's going to be devastating,' says doctor
A record 4.3 million workers in America quit their jobs in August.Anthony Klotz coined this ongoing phenomenon "The Great Resignation."Klotz is an organizational psychologist at Texas A&M University.In part, he says, the pandemic has made workers reevaluate what they are actually getting out of their jobs."During the pandemic, because there was a lot of death and illness and lockdowns, we really had the time and the motivation to sit back and say, do I like the trajectory of my life? Am I pursuing a life that brings me well-being?" Klotz said.Employers are also having to rethink what their employees really need.NPR's Audie Cornish spoke with Laszlo Bock, co-founder and CEO of the human resources company Humu, about the basic human need for respect."You know, in the pandemic, people have talked a lot about essential workers, but we actually treat them as essential jobs," said Bock. "We treat the workers as quite replaceable."In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

Practice for the TEST without worksheets. These stems from standardized tests will help you practice for the STAAR test in the real world! JUST ADDED!!! STAAR Stem booklet! Put the questions in your student's hands. These booklets make it easy to find the type of questions you need. Use these cards in many ways to review for the STAAR or other standardize testing. I cut out and pass each student a card and then we answer aloud or in our reading journals. Most of the cards can be used with different genres, but some are specific to poetry and persuasive. Great last prep activities. You can also use them to write your own questions for novel studies or other reading materials! Middle School cards are also available!!!

We have too much respect for the printed word, too little awareness of the power words hold over us. We allow worlds to be conjured up for us with very little concern for the implications. We overlook glaring incongruities. Learning to read with pens in our hands would bring huge benefits.

At 11:48 a.m. on August 1, 1966, Charles Whitman began firing his rifle from the top of the University of Texas Tower at anyone and everyone in his sights. At 1:24 p.m., he was gunned down himself. The lives of the people who witnessed the sniper’s spree firsthand would never be the same again.

On Wednesday night (April 21st), Travis got to celebrate his first Aggie Muster. Muster is one of A&M's most sacred traditions and one that makes me proudest to be an Aggie. This particular Muster was extra special as Brandon was the speaker for the Cross Timbers A&M Club in Bridgeport, Texas. Grandpa, Travis, and I loaded up to head to Bridgeport where we met up with Papaw, Nana, and Pepper. I've seen Brandon speak at the groundbreaking ceremony of Reliant Stadium, Law School graduation, and many other occasions, but I had never been prouder of the job he did Wednesday night. I'd post the whole speech so that everybody could watch, but he'd probably kill me, so I'll settle with posting this one part about Col. Stratton - a true Aggie hero! I wasn't quite sure how Travis would do since the whole festivities were taking place after his normal bedtime, but he was great. He was so good during the dinner part and even had his first "to-go" meal. Once the speaking started, Grandpa took him outside just so we didn't have any squeals during Brandon's speech. I'm so glad that we shared this special experience with Brandon, and super glad that we had Grandpa to help so that I didn't have to miss the speech. In many lands and climes this April day, proud sons of Texas A&M unite. Our loyalty to country, school, we pray, and seal our pact with bond of common might. We live again those happy days of yore on campus, field, in classroom, dorm, at drill Fond memory brings a sigh — but nothing more; now we are men and life’s a greater thrill, Before we part and go upon our way, we pause to honor those we knew so well; The old familiar faces we miss so much today left cherished recollections that time cannot dispel. Softly call the Muster, Let comrade answer, “Here!” Their spirits hover ‘round us As if to bring us cheer! Mark them ‘present’ in our hearts, We’ll meet some other day. There is no death, but life eterne For our old friends such as they. Xoxo, Gara
