#CallingCaldecott: @KimberlyFakih on I'M FROM by @GaryRGrayJr (@BalzerandBray/@HarperChildrens): "@ogemora’s iridescent scenes teach a brand of storytelling that allows every child to dream of a future, right from the neighborhood, right from home." https://t.co/kv7VWSK2y5

@SomaKazima as a kindergarten teacher 🤣🤣 this time of the year can be rough! their class probably uses kangaroo as a keyword or picture for the letter "k"

This is amazing - humans create art, poetry, develop ice skating and music. The Police record the song Roxanne, people use the song in the movie Moulin Rouge!, and this Canadian couple reinterprets the plot of the movie, based on the Paris cabaret, to compete in Korean Olympics

[agus @goosiemd]

this is why i fell in love with ice skating, pls watch and add a couple yrs to your life

Why “queer”? Because queer takes up space. Queer is unapologetic. Queer doesn’t promise assimilation. Queer includes, and makes it harder to drop a letter off the acronym when it’s politically convenient. Queer reminds us to not get complacent. Queer is solidarity.

Amid racial tension at a town’s beach, life imitates art as two boys - a rule-following crew member and a magnetic actor - fall in love while rehearsing for their SUMMER THEATER’s production of West Side Story. But when the white one calls police: tragedy #DVpit #YA #LGBT #verse
