Carnival Of Education
note: i have injured my right wrist and its quite painful, particularly using my little finger (hence, the absence of caps and apostrophes). because typing is such a pain — literally — i will use the “just add water and microwave” carnival version (sorry). the last couple of times i have hosted, i have seen more and more spam submitted. i think i got it all, but if i didn’t, apologies.
here we go. oh. the code for this instacarnival thing is just godawful, so let me here (cause at least i can see on this line) offer a re-print of my own (typing is just too painful to write a new article). cannon fodder. Uh, okay, i saw this and had to comment: clicking can be a bad idea.
