Story Love is the volunteer program of @SP_Changemakers, helping to celebrate over 30,000 kiddo authors a year. Did you know April is National Volunteer Month?! Story Love is one of my favorite volunteer events -- there's no better way to spend an hour! https://t.co/rtBgkyXqoh

Did you love writing stories as a kid?
Is your love language words of affirmation?
Do you like talking cats?

@tcburkejr Co-signed. I’d also love daytime reading time (for fun). And/or daytime coloring time.

What makes this worse is this is just the beginning. When — if? — they ever get to governing, norms, protections and any semblance of progress on issues like climate change, gun control, reproductive rights, education and so much more will go right down the drain.

This is an appalling lack of leadership. An embarrassment and a slap in the face to every voter who cast a ballot for each of these 435 people — no matter their party — expecting them to do *something* on behalf of the American people with their time in the halls of the Capitol.

[Rebecca Forbes @RFQuotely]

To do this on January 6th is even more disheartening. We have learned nothing.

[Rebecca Forbes @RFQuotely]

@JJapgar Hahaha just wait. Enjoy! It’s my favorite thing to watch for comfort and a reminder of what’s possible.

That survivors can advocate for change all while still grieving and processing their trauma should tell us everything we need to know about working to end gun violence: it is possible. If *they* have the will to keep fighting, we have absolutely no excuse.

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

Cyrena was seven years old when there was a shooting at her school – Sandy Hook Elementary.

Cyrena and her community are still fighting to end gun violence so that no other child has to go through what they endured a decade ago.

@jaydeelulz The app is impossible because it almost immediately asks you to upgrade every time you open it

This is incredible.

My mom’s annual “home for the holidays” email to me and my siblings just dropped. An incredibly thorough, detail-rich look ahead at how it’s possible for me to gain 15 lbs in one week.
