Just read a story about someone visiting postwar Hiroshima who bought a souvenir belt buckle made out of metal from buildings demolished after the bombing. He only wore it a short while, but he got bladder cancer years later. His oncologist did a double-take when told.
Tomorrow at #tech4teens camp we kickoff podcasting week. We will start by listening to podcasts featuring John Lewis. Not just as a great, or greatest American hero, but as a leader in #literacies web.archive.org/web/2015090719โ€ฆ (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/1KG1md)
nothing more fun during a pandemic when you really really should stay home than having your dog bring fleas into the house.
