Easier to get out in the case of emergency…or zombie apocalypse.

Here's why the healing journey feels so lonely and why it's worth it, anyway:

A lot of people are so miserable. So, so miserable.

Let me break this down for you, and y'all can go break this down for others.

"Rest in power" is not the woke version of "Rest in peace." It's not just cool, it's not a way to show you really liked someone, it's not something you say when a famous person you really liked dies.

@NoveListRA Graphic novels have worked well with ELL students in the last. I will look into this title. Thank you!

[Mildred D. Taylor’s Notebook @TheMorganCruise]

@dcpl I will look into it! This is VERY helpful

[Mildred D. Taylor’s Notebook @TheMorganCruise]

@MultCoLib @Nnedi Thank you!

[Mildred D. Taylor’s Notebook @TheMorganCruise]

@dcpl Will research this now!

[Mildred D. Taylor’s Notebook @TheMorganCruise]

@dcpl My students’ interest vary. One thing we (school) are adamant about is not reading books that re-traumatizing our students beyond what they are currently experiencing in their communities. My students (ages 18-24) also HATE reading.

@Mo_Lo_Bo Just sent you a DM

[Mildred D. Taylor’s Notebook @TheMorganCruise]

I hate, hate, HATE how many YA books with Black protagonists have to almost always experience some form of police brutality or violent ending. The current landscape offers little escape.

@Mo_Lo_Bo Hello! We can definitely talk scheduling and see if this is possible.

[FX Networks @FXNetworks]

Whatever this is, it’s real. Based on the best-selling novel by Octavia Butler, FX’s Kindred premieres December 13. Only on @hulu.

I’m at the age now where if I can’t I can’t wear kitten heels to the club I don’t wanna go.

[Cora Harrington @CoraCHarrington]

There’s “Soul Food is bad” discourse going around the feed today, and I wonder if the folks saying that have some generational distance from the South and don’t know what soul food is, because I never ate so many fresh vegetables and good cuts of meat as when I lived in Georgia.
