This is horrible 💔

Frightening but I’m not surprised by these findings. I wish there wasn’t this big push for AI in everything.

Shame indeed. 💔 hoping people realize war and violence is never the answer.

Tehran is poetry. Shame on those who support this crime against humanity.

Done! Thanks for sharing this link.

Powerful and heartbreaking ❤️💔

Done! Thanks for sharing! I’m appalled that it feels like they don’t care about our health or any of these vaccinations!!!

You can quickly use @resist.bot's leading petition on keeping flu shots to quickly message your reps. If you have a more personal story about how the flu shot protects a loved one, use the @5calls.org app to leave a voice mail this weekend.

A LOT of people out there saying "I don't like what's going on but a boycott will hurt tipped servers" and "I'm super mad about all this but putting up a protest sticker/flyer seems too radical" and folks, I cannot.

*fyi, buy-nothing day tomorrow focuses on big chains. Use cash @ small businesses

Beautiful!

A fantastic article!

Hi Laura!

Yes, Ernie, you do! I concur with Mike on this place — there’s one near our house and we’ve enjoyed their pizzas. :) just let me know if you head this way so we can hang out in person! :)

It Is MLK Day. Do Not Despair. This Year Especially, We Have Work To Do. With delicious anticipation, we imagined it.

I pray this helps some of you today. We have a duty to Dr. King whose life was taken because he dared demand that this country face itself, to demonstrate that his work & sacrifice was not in vain. Let’s do it together. Please share. And subscribe.

This week’s #FeaturedFictionFriday library video was co-hosted by one of our students who spoke about how much he liked the vulnerability of the MC. Thank you Jason Reynolds for writing a book that so many of our students, especially boys, have appreciated reading. #BookSky #SchoolLibrarian

You too, friend! ❤️

😂😂😂

Wow. This is wildly disturbing. I can’t even imagine giving AI the important task of creating curriculum for my students…is it just me or does it feel like we are headed towards all those dystopian books and movies where AI takes over? 🫤

Just finished reading LOOKING FOR SMOKE by K.A. Cobell and wow….that was an amazing mystery/thriller! Definitely going to make this a future #FeaturedFictionFriday #BookSky #SchoolLibrarian

Was so excited to share this gorgeous book with students for this week’s #FeaturedFictionFriday the MC Niarah is a doomsday preparer but she can’t prepare for MAC—the cute boy who fills her world with hope. ❤️ #booksky #schoollibrarian

I so needed this today. Thank you ❤️

Saw this while walking yesterday and totally smiled. :) I was reminded how small acts from strangers can impact us. #positivity #kindness #love

I love that my job involves reading. Because the more books in our library I read, the better I can recommend them to students. Just started OUR SHOUTS ECHO by Jade Adia — and this first page is 🔥🔥🔥 #AmReading

I’m really proud of the work Scott and I have done in this session. It’s going to be INCREDIBLE and I’m so, so excited. #NCTE24

So happy you’re here! As a fellow high school English teacher, I enjoyed reading your posts on Twitter. :)

Any other journalists here looking to connect?

I write fiction and poetry. Based in California. You?
