I think a lot of us can use more gifts of weed, booze, and blue peter.

    My dad was a high school English teacher for decades before taking an early retirement last year. Administration banned the Handmaid’s Tale, one of his favorite books to teach. He became a suicidal alcoholic and was pushed out. Thankfully, he’s much happier now that he’s sober and spends most of his time woodworking, but it never should’ve come to this.

      Sorry for his mental health break and the system that did it to him. I’m glad he’s better. Woodworking is a great choice.
