The Nevada Independent has announced they will be selling advertising on their website. Such a great idea. We thought why not? Contact PIcon at documents@piconpress.com if you’re interested in drinking deep.

Designer Read-Along: When Tone-Deaf Meets Storytime
Talk about a fashion faux pas. While reading to children at Glenn Duncan S.T.E.M. Academy, a school board trustee apparently thought it was appropriate to sport a Gucci jacket worth more than most families' monthly rent.
Let's put this in perspective: Glenn Duncan serves a student population that's 100% economically disadvantaged according to data from US News. Only 17% of students are proficient in reading or math. These kids face real struggles daily—and in walks a trustee wearing what amounts to several months of grocery money on their back.
Hey, Washoe County School Board We’re Uncomfortable
We were going to pen an article about the need for Alex Woodley to step aside (AKA resign) from his Washoe County Library Trustee District E, but This Is Reno did such a great job we thought we’d just share their newsletter for subscribers. (You should become a subscriber so you too could have the This Is Reno newsletter delivered to your inbox).
Picon only added a few thoughts because we are far snarkier than This Is Reno. Kids are glued to their cell phones, and it is an unfair task for teachers to separate them during classes. We’re surprised more parents aren’t in an uproar over Mr. Woodley’s sexting – have we all become so immune or has TikTok taken over our brains. A Reno city employee using a city cell phone to sex-message during a school board meeting? Really, that just has such a bad image.
