This book is so incredible - and these recaps are so good at bringing all the pieces together. I love watching each recap after I finish the chapter

It's so interesting to realize how we condition kids all the time to love or hate things they (and, honestly, we as well) have no real grasp over, no real idea of. These things sometimes are common knowledge, useful life values. Other times they can be prejudice or just ignorance.

Interesting -- headline today: "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern (D-MA) unveiled the rules for the 117th Congress on Friday, which contain "future-focused" proposals, including the elimination of gendered terms, such as "father, mother, son, and daughter." (Reading Brave New World is what brought me here.)
