when I left for work, I heard birds, yay, and was excited I didn't need a hat. I thought wow! its so much warmer. It was 7 degrees. #vermont #winter
AAUP President Todd Wolfson on the killing of Alex Pretti:
"This moment demands a unified, bold, and powerful response from the labor movement. We are uniting across sectors to organize, mobilize, and wield our full collective power to confront ICE."
Full statement:
I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand
You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen
*Everyone has stories like this*
Enter to win a copy of my upcoming #YA novel in #verse, What If It Wasn't My Fault. A story of becoming, resisting, bravery.

Fantastic Publishers Weekly review for THE BOARD by @katyfarber.bsky.social. This is a concept I created many moons ago and which Katy executed amazingly. Hitting bookstores nationwide on September 9th from @blackstonepub.bsky.social! www.publishersweekly.com/9798228016880
This is me as a new teacher (yes, we actually had chalk boards then!). Now, 25 years later, Penny Bishop and I have a book out TODAY called Real Talk for New Teachers: Tools for a Sustainable Career. We deeply hope it helps educators build a humane and sustainable career in teaching. #teachers #ED
So give me the stories of women taking up space, standing for those who need it or can’t, connecting with those at the margins, and being incredibly badass and brilliant.

The Pitt for the stories and the dialogue, but look away quick if you don't want to see the very real injuries!
this is a really fun one! so creative. loved it.
so exciting! can't wait to read!
Stopped by @bridgesidebooks.bsky.social today and was delighted by the collection (fierce), signage, and conversation. Dropped off an ARC of my new thriller, THE BOARD, out this fall 🍁
As a parent with kids in school this is the stuff that keeps me up at night. That Trump is *hiding* and *reversing* any progress we've made to stop school shootings is truly unthinkable.
They say it's not the guns, it's mental health, and then defund mental health programs.
I’m with you!!!
Lots of people I know that were furious about kids having to wear masks are real quiet about a two year old citizen being wrongfully deported

Hey folks, THE BOARD is open for signed pre-orders now from my local indie Bear Pond Books. I'm obviously super chill about it (this is me when I got my ARCs last week in the mail).
