1) There's one fact about #MarieKondo that informs everything I read about her.

She spent five years as a Shinto priestess.

Let's break that down. 2) The Japanese religion of Shinto involves communing and appeasing the kami.

Kami are... Kinda but not totally spirits/gods?

Seriously, @neilhimself is a genius just for making a culturally understandable translation of Princess Mononoke.

1) So I want to talk about the concept that untrained kitchen labor slows things down.

Thus, I have to explain one of our very obscure family in-phrases.

The Batman/Time Machine situation. 2) In the ancient days of the 90's, I read every JLA comic I could get my hands on. Grant Morrison sucked me in. Huge fanboy.

And there was JLA/Wildcats. Totally passable, which makes it a top-tier company crossover.

It had Batman and the time machine.

1) Let me, a Broward schoolteacher near Marjory Stoneman Douglas, give a perspective on school shootings from the inside. 2) Once a year, my co-workers and I are birefed by a LEO on what to do if a gunman enters the school.

Inevitably, we listen to the stories of gun violence at similar schools.

I realize the LEO has given this spiel so much, it's automatic.
