@MatAuryn Daenerys had the intention all along. We just didn’t realize she had the will to do it.

@MatAuryn Would 💯 be this pup’s sugar momma. 🥰😂

Nobody with a shitty, reactionary, regressive take on the classics in the classroom today ...

... actually knows a GODDAMN THING about literacy or the point to English instruction in public schools.

Hint, dumbasses: it's NOT to churn out English majors.

@SharifKhanBooks Reading helps, too, of course. If ever there was a time to tackle that stack of books on your nightstand, this is it!!! 😂📚

@realdylanwince Lack of time for independent reading in class or trips to the library; lack of choice in reading material; emphasis on interpreting classics w/out relevance (written by dead white men); snobbery about kids’ preferences; and more homework and tests.

@JacobNordby I’m from Illinois and our governor did an amazing job with COVID abatement, but when those Great Plains winds blow, people head inside and viruses thrive indoors. ...And Trump convinced most of our rural folk that COVID is a conspiracy. So there’s that, too.

I can’t emphasize this enough! 👏 👏 👏

@DothTheDoth I’m with grandma! The Balrog is hands down the best part of the LOTR movies and my favorite part of the books! Shadow and flame!!! 😈 🔥 💕

[Zizzy (she/her/hers) @ZizzyBrinko]

Pretty much. 😅

Telling children who love graphic novels that "graphic novels do not help you grow as a reader," is not true and diminishes the children right along with the books. Reading doesn't belong to school. It belongs to readers. Value them!

@thehill That’s going to be hard to do while sitting in prison for tax evasion. 🤔

I’ve been saying this for years! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Zizzy (she/her/hers) @ZizzyBrinko]

Silence on matters that affect the people you love and the issues you care about is a betrayal to all. I’ve lost friends because of my hard stances—and so be it. They were never really friends to begin with because, if they were, they would stand up for ME.

One of the many reasons I voted for you Joe! Let’s INVEST in public education again!!! 👩‍🎓👨‍🎓

For America’s educators, this is a great day: You’re going to have one of your own in the White House, and Jill is going to make a great First Lady.

always be critical about who is extended the privilege of empathy. empathy can be weaponized as a tool of oppression and violence like everything else. when those in power make calls for empathy, ask empathy *for whom* and take note of who is not afforded that privilege.
