Glass shattering in flames, our hothouse bed

If left to myself, I don't happen to observe International Holocaust Remembrance Day, but it still registers that the first news I saw when I got onto the internet after a separately difficult night was the banning of Art Spiegelman's Maus (1991) by a Tennessee school board on grounds of nudity and inappropriate language. Any impediment to the teaching of the reality of the Holocaust is, I am sure, one hundred percent inadvertent, regrettable, and just to be lived with. Nothing personal. Some people's children must be protected from knowledge that others are never permitted to live without, but then, some people's children are really people.

Man, I can’t believe I had enough crackers in the box for that. It’s a bit reassuring.

(Other people ask you so courteously for bits of your brain! If I tried that instead of hopping up and down making peeve noises, would I be responsible for the concussion when you fell over in shock?)
