We recently moved our platform over to @MightyNetworks to better help some of the neurodivergent individuals within our community. https://t.co/5YbtE2hlcw So far it's been a great transition. Having an app if a huge help for individuals who only use a handheld devive/phone.

Yes! Pride in ones own work is far more important.

I’m really upset that the media is already laying the groundwork for dismissing Ma’khia’s death. If police can arrest mass shooters with assault rifles, they can arrest a 16 year old girl with a knife.

I'm sorry, what?! 😱

Justice cannot be reached with one verdict — we must work toward justice by transforming our society to end the ongoing crisis of anti-Black police violence that presents a daily threat to so many of our community members. Read our statement here: https://t.co/C3Ylqm5Hla

This is a fantastic video by the wonderful @thejeffreymarsh, reminding us that we teach unconditional love by being unconditionally loving of ourselves. https://t.co/A4bxQpuAfQ

“But after all of this, children must be allowed to say no. Without that, they can never really say Yes. “- Beautiful last line from ⁦@naomicfisher⁩ https://t.co/kiR4skJxwx

These are wise words by fellow unschooling parent @tiersaj !

If you are triggered by my family’s much more simple, unhurried lifestyle, then don’t be mad at me. Be mad at our broken culture that glorifies being busy.

This looks like a fantastic book! Thank you for the recommendation. https://t.co/SyTZl7H5aH

@beastlibrarian "A Quick and Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns" was the one I got both for my classroom and then for my parents when my kid came out as trans/non-binary.

Y'all need to stop shitting on kids' dreams to be artists, performers, writers, etc. The arts is a viable field. The arts are important. The arts are practical. And y'all especially need to stop tearing down BIPOC kids who want to pursue the arts.

[Andrea Landry @AndreaLandry1]

The age of our children will ultimately trigger traumas in our own lives that happened when we were their ages.

Age triggers.

And with them, the questions “how did my mother/father/caregiver cause that trauma to me at such a young age?”

Feel through the triggers.

For freedom.

"When we tell transgender girls that they can’t play girls’ sports — or transgender boys that they can’t play boys’ sports — they miss out on these important experiences and opportunities. And we lose the right to say we care about children."
