@PublixHelps @MichelleBakels @publix I check for these every time I go to the bakery. My twin sister moved to Alaska and remembers these fondly...I would love for them to come back so I can ship her some! They were so delicious. 🍊

Any Florida friends remember the mini orange blossom muffins from @Publix ? This is our chance to bring them back!

[Michelle Bakels @MichelleBakels]

VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION:
Has @Publix discontinued Orange Blossom Muffins or do I just have a hard time getting them?

Wife: “I know you don’t want to but we’re going to the 4th of July parade”

Husband: “Fine. But I’m wearing my Pride 🌈 shirt.”

White sis liberal men still exist.

In a win for the freedom to read, the OK Supreme Court ruled that the state Dept. of Ed cannot force schools to ban books. After being accused of “peddling porn,” school libraries are once again free to curate according to their own local standards.

Would you believe a school library system would go so far as to ban a book about book banning just because it mentions banned books?

The @IRCSchools Board, by 3-2 vote, prohibited Ban This Book from all school libraries last month.

[Florida Freedom to Read Project @FLFreedomRead]

Yes, the banning of a book about book banning because it mentions books the district has banned is meta, but did you catch the part where a newly, DeSantis-appointed SBM was the deciding vote? Or that the objector was handpicked twice by FLDOE to participate in library training?
