Just finished reading Ode to the Half-Broken by Suzanne Palmer, read by Traci Odom.
It was perfect. A story about a motley found family of humans, bots, and a cyborg dog. Half-broken characters in a half-broken world yet again on the brink.
The ending made me cry, but a good cry. An ending that was earned, but made me want more.

#Utah #utpol is also trying to pass a constitutional amendment to require 60% to pass voter propositions right now.
If it had been in place in 2018, there would've been no Medicaid expansion, no medical weed, and no independent redistricting commission.
Now, granted, the #utgop is continually fighting voters' choices on those 2018 propositions, but the props would have just failed if 60% was the requirement to pass.
Vote No on Amendment B, Utah. Vote no on A, too, to prevent them from sneaking in changes without notifying the public.

Just like Clinton turned welfare into TANF funding which doesn't help poor people anymore, Trump wants to turn Education into funding that doesn't educate kids.
It's not only resegregating schools, but de-educating schools.
