Saw a huge hawk circling the valley tonight as I pulled up for graduation, a beautiful omen indeed. Congratulations, @HVAHawks !!

It's graduation season, and I can't think of a better gift for a young person than Saeed Jones's Alive at the End of the World @theferocity thanks for how much your words help us.

@theferocity For your grit consideration: greueyer cheese and a soft boiled egg or two. *chef's kiss*

@0liviajulianna He's just wrong, simply and utterly wrong, which actually gives me great hope. He won't see it coming.

[Anne Thomas-Abbott @MommaTHVA]

@SeanHayes I am so sorry for your and our loss. I can't imagine he didn't just adore you. May his memory be for a blessing.

This coming week, Earth passes closer to Jupiter than in six decades.

Rising at sunset & setting at sunrise, look for it overnight — the brightest "star" in the sky.

Jupiter, at its closest, exerts a force of gravity on Earth 5x higher than when at its farthest

New chapter began yesterday. Started as a Roadrunner, spent 27 years as a Falcon, now I'm a Hawk. Also attended my very first new teacher orientation that I didn't lead #changeisgood #newbiesunite

Love the idea of this stamp! Librarian friends may want to steal this idea.

A new type of typeface might be beneficial to neurodivergent readers! 🤯

It's called bionic reading — the first few letters are bolded, making it easier for readers to glide through text and stay focused.

Every English teacher and librarian's dream come true: a quiet auditorium, rapt in a preview of our summer reading text: Refugee by @AlanGratz Great way to spend the morning!!

[Anne Thomas-Abbott @MommaTHVA]

@AlanGratz I am so sorry for your loss

[Anne Thomas-Abbott @MommaTHVA]

@carleighlong I will take that if you also thank yourself for doing the work, for lifting the pen, for opening your mind. I am happy to have encouraged you to do what you wanted.

So, I put the band back together. Abbott and the Costellos took the stage this afternoon at FHS, and it may have been the happiest and most alive I've felt in a long time.

[Shanna Sparks @FultonBandSparx]

Thanks @MommaTFHS for letting me be on of your Costellos!!! @FultonHSArt @HaskellLaney @FultonBandMill @FultonBandKing
