For Juneteenth, a story about George Washington's teeth. https://firesidefiction.com/the-secret-lives-of-the-nine-negro-teeth-of-george-washington

FLOSS for human language learning?

Any recommendations for Free Software to learn a language? Preferably something in debian or F-Droid repos

Need some refreshes on a couple languages

Need something for language learning rather than just vocabulary trainers like flashcard apps

Hmm, Nexcloud module would work, too
