Something about the drama of the Twitter blue check mark made me think of the Dr Seuss The Sneetches book, and I find the comparison hilarious
For context, the story goes having a star on your belly made you cool, but then a guy with a machine made it so you could pay him and add a star to your belly. So all the starless sneetches bought the star, but then since they weren’t exclusive anymore, all the star sneetches wanted to get rid of their star to be cool and starless, and the guy with a machine would do that for money. This happened a few times until no one knew who was original what and they all became friends and learned a lesson about the pointlessness of the stars and being scammed out of money.
Also I haven’t read the book since I was like 7 so the story could be totally off :)

2.10: Ecofascism and Rewilding: A Conversation With Ariel Kroon and Christina De La Rocha
There’s no question that the biosphere is in crisis right now thanks to human-driven global warming, our hostile takeover of most of Earth’s land area, and our pollution and overfishing of the seas. Slowing down—never mind outright stopping—the collapse of the Earth’s ecosystems and the mass extinction currently gaining pace calls for aggressively protecting the environment, or possibly even…

A Toast To The Blue Heelers!
Haha, I got this idea from is video: https://youtu.be/oMKYcZrM__U

And I know, there are four Sneetches. But adding Bob, the father of these three Heeler brothers, didn’t feel really comfortable for me. 😝

The absurdity of deeming a Dr. Seuss story decrying racism as inappropriate for kids
What happened in a Ohio classroom is sadly symbolic of the way many talk about Martin Luther King Jr. and the injustices he fought against.
by Jarvis DeBerry
Here’s a shout-out to Noah, a third grader at Shale Meadows Elementary School near Columbus, Ohio. According to NPR’s “Planet Money” host Erika Beras, as Noah’s teacher read “The Sneetches” by Dr. Seuss, published in 1961, the student said Sneetches with stars shunning Sneetches without stars sounded “almost like what happened back then, how people were treated ... like, white people disrespected Black people.”
Not only should we be impressed that Noah connected a story about prejudiced Sneetches to racist people, but we should also take note of him expressing the thought in the active voice, using a subject, verb and object. He said, “White people disrespected Black people.” It’s becoming rarer that sentences about our country’s racist history are structured with such clarity.
You’ll notice how rare it is on this day, especially, when you hear people whose views would have in no way aligned with a living Martin Luther King Jr. pay insipid praise to the martyr. They’ll say King had courage, but they won’t say why he needed it. They’ll say he marched, but they won’t say against whom. They’ll say we shall overcome, but they won’t name the people who are the obstacles. They’ll say he was a hero, but they won’t dare mention Jim Crow’s villains.

Watch "THE SNEETCHES by Dr Seuss Read Aloud" on YouTube
youtube
Thinking that the "officials" who removed this book from shelves bc they don't see how it's about economics - either didn't listen closely to the whole thing OR they've never worked in sales.
This is one of the books that could've helped me in 4th grade with my first business. I was a little one who had marketing down pat; sales one liners came so naturally.

Get Your Art Fix!
"The Sneetches got really quite smart on that day. The day they decided that Sneetches are Sneetches. And no kind of Sneetch is the best on the beaches. That day, all the Sneetches forgot about stars and whether they had one, or not, upon thars." ~ The Sneetches And Other Stories, Dr. Seuss, 1961
"The Sneetches 50th Anniversary" by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel), 2011
Arty-Fact: Adapted posthumously from the illustration for the 1961 book, The Sneetches and Other Stories.
The brilliant tale of The Sneetches, some with stars on their bellies and some without, tackles the persistently complex issue of tolerance and racial prejudice, and ingeniously imparts lessons on social justice and the senselessness of discrimination. The Sneetches book is widely used today as a teaching aid to instill a caring sense of fairness and equality for all.
