You know it’s the end of the fundraising qtr when that inbox hits like 90s R&B:
Errin, I need you
Errin, this is our last chance
Errin, don’t give up on us now
Errin, I haven’t heard from you
Errin, it’s almost too late
Errin, this is about our future
Errin, don’t make a mistake

Google Search is imperfect. Take when you Google "men's hairstyles"... only photos of white men pop up. As such, if you see things like this, DM me & I will send it to our Search team, who is collecting info on harmful moments like this! #edchat #blacklivesmatter #edtechchat

When I visited Japan, I was like, "hol' up, there's literally a mascot for everything!" I decided to have a stab at creating some Japan-spirited mascots for some well-known Chicago companies and attractions. @mondomascots gave me a lot of inspiration!

This episode of #SHSpodcast is fantastic (and has me quietly practicing saying "bidialectalism" to myself). Give it a listen, #literacy community!

🔥 Hot tip: You DO NOT have to disclose your salary history to a prospective employer. Wages are kept low this way - especially for women and POC. 😤

[Edgar Villanueva @VillanuevaEdgar]

Let’s be clear - there is no war on #philanthropy. There is growing skepticism of how wealth in the U.S. is created and distributed, and how big donor philanthropy has helped to preserve economic and social #inequality. #DecolonizeWealth
