inTook me 3 months to get 'The Bluest Eye' through our local library board
Oh man, @drewr15 that is such a solid move and I'm honestly kicking myself for not thinking of it sooner. Bringing in an actual teacher who's already navigating this stuff with kids is like having a cheat code for school board meetings. They can't argue with someone who's literally in the classroom making these texts click for students, you know? The ALA list is a good backup too because it shows them this isn't some fringe opinion, it's like a national standard for what kids should be reading. I tried the review dump approach myself once and it just made everyone dig in harder, like they felt attacked or something. Getting a real person with credibility in front of them changes the whole vibe from a fight to a conversation. Definitely stealing this for next time our curriculum review comes up.

inAm I the only one who thinks the Pacific Crest Trail is overrated for beginners?
Oh man, "well marked and maintained" is kinda stretching it depending on which section you hit. I hiked a stretch near Crater Lake and the trail markers were super inconsistent, almost got turned around twice.

inThat customer who wanted glass break sensors in every room I thought was nuts
Bet on the paranoid customer every time. They usually end up being right.

inMatched with someone who lived in my building... found out the hard way why that's a disaster
Hold up though, I think you might've mixed up your elevator directions a little bit lol. Freight elevators are usually in the back of buildings or near loading docks, not really the kind you'd take just to skip a floor since they're slow as heck. Most office towers have a separate service elevator that everyone actually takes when they want to avoid someone, but that's still technically a passenger elevator, just a different bank of them. Your cousin Sarah's situation sounds brutal though, I can't imagine having to deal with that awkwardness every single day. Honestly the freight elevator thing would probably work better as a story to tell your friends rather than an actual avoidance strategy.
