Annual reminder as we go back to school; we should be teaching boys to not objectify girls instead of punishing girls for wearing tank tops and sometimes show a bra strap.

If you’re getting turned on by a shoulder, you’re the problem!

The Cornell story wasn’t broken by CNN or The New York Times.
It was broken by a student journalist. Reminder: your title does not determine your impact.
Your preparation, instincts, and willingness to act do.

Private schools, even ones subsidized by your tax dollars, don't have to take every child. In Texas, of 257 voucher schools surveyed by the Texas Observer, fewer than a dozen said they offer special education.
Children the system won't take land back in public schools. And those schools—which do have to take every child—are in crisis, from low reading and math scores to widespread chronic absenteeism.

Growing up with the phrase “Wikipedia isn’t a valid source,” only to end up in a daily life where everyone says, “Just ask ChatGPT.”

Dolly Parton was super rich. Yet no one hated her because of her wealth. Because she didn't use her wealth to bend rules and buy politicians to get more wealth. No one hates rich people. They hate greedy people.

I just want you to remember. That we live in a world where octopuses dream, otters have a favorite shell that they carry with them all their lives, cows have best friends, and bees have different "dialects" of dance depending on the region. Cats purr at a frequency that accelerates bone healing, the forest grows flowers first after a fire, and dolphins give each other names and respond to them. Penguins make proposals by giving each other the most beautiful pebble

i DO NOT want an AI summary of my Google search.
i DO NOT want an AI summary of my friend’s text message.
i DO NOT want an AI summary of the email I’m about to read.

I can read. PLEASE just let me.

The new school year is almost here. A hungry child cannot really concentrate on learning.
We have to feed our children so our future is not under educated.

Eminem & daughter Hailie just erased $700K in school lunch debt across 103 schools in Michigan! No child hungry, no shame. 🙏

While billionaires buy yachts, Slim Shady quietly paid debts for thousands of kids. This is how you use fame — compassion over clout! Real hero! 💛📚

Maturing is realizing they never burned witches. They burned midwives, healers, herbalists, and knowledgeable women.
Women who understood medicine, nature, and their own autonomy. Women whose knowledge threatened patriarchal control. The "witch hunts" were never about magic, they were about silencing women who couldn't be controlled.

my mom started volunteering with autistic children and annoyed one nonverbal student so bad that he literally spoke for the very first time in his life to tell her to shut up

[Karim Wafa-Al Hussaini @DrKarimWafa]

They say books won’t change the world. Tell that to every colonizer who burned them. To every enslaved person who was punished for reading. Literacy is resistance. Literacy is liberation. The library is a battlefield.

In my whole life, I have known no wise people who didn't read all the time, none, zero.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Imagine the amount of propaganda it took to convince millions of people that healthcare, food assistance, social programs, clean water, clean air, good wages, housing, equal rights, diversity and a healthy planet for all people was somehow a threat to America and to Christianity.

Obscene. We must raise the minimum wage to a living wage.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
