@angiecthomas I'm a middle school teacher reading the new set of YA books that our school ordered and I came across Bri in "On the Come Up". Thank you so much for writing books that my students can see themselves in. I cannot wait to introduce them to Bri. 💕

Teachers are so so important.

This whole thread goes off 👏🏾👏🏾 but this especially.

… and, of course, the sense that the core of your job - educating the next generation in hopes of creating a better society- is not valued by that society as much as providing childcare. 17/🧵

The kids who need to be in school need so much more than just a place to be, more than adults going through the motions. But the ppl they need to connect to / feel supported by are exhausted & emotionally numb. 3/🧵

Being a Black student in predominantly White spaces means having to hold your breath as you walk into the room. Having a Black Professor means being able to exhale.

Book 6 of 2022 was Recipe for Persuasion by Sonali Dev. Such a beautiful work or art. So much more than romance. The kind of writing that makes you laugh and cry and roll your eyes. The kind of writing that makes you FEEL. ❤️ thank you @Sonali_Dev

I would love to see a panel of teachers and students share their thoughts and experiences over the last two years instead of people who get paid to have opinions. Don’t just talk about teachers, please interview them.

Don’t Look Up isn’t saying the public are stupid. Rather that we’re led by weak/vain/corrupt politicians who are owned by billionaires & their corporations, and we’re being distracted 24/7 by a capitalist-media drowning us in celebrity & triviality. The public are the victims.

Encanto was such a beautiful movie. I cried so many times but it's definitely a movie I'll rewatch for so many days to come 🌈🏡 #Encanto

Everything we were taught to be wrong or illegal white people get away with daily

[Colin Kaepernick @Kaepernick7]

We just witnessed a system built on white supremacy validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist.

This only further validates the need to abolish our current system. White supremacy cannot be reformed.

you can reinvent yourself as often as you need to. you can set new boundaries as often as you need to. you can shift gears as often as you need to.

the world is constantly changing. you are constantly changing. you don’t owe people continuity for continuity’s sake.
