if you can see this {motions to any portion to my Twitter}, go ahead and assume that *I know* Especially if you don’t request to follow me. Read what I choose to share with you 👀 until it makes sense ESPECIALLY if ur any of the following: white, cisgender, straight,🧠-typical✨

I love being “Teacher Sam”☺️ My no.1 advice I share with all new/student teachers is to think about your ‘teacher name’ before you introduce yourself— you’ll hear it all day long so use whatever honorific & name you like best & is most comfortable for YOU!

@msreid65857288 https://t.co/TsRQIkeFBa is my FAVE (especially when I’m teaching students who are able to read text!!) It has features helpful for all students & teachers though, Kinder/Preschool-age too: timers, images, volume detector, etc. Helps me proactively “manage” my class & myself!

@JeffBezos Imagine how people will react when it’s your turn.

This is an excellent day to talk about how damaging the cleansing of history is.

A lot of historic context would make today more understandable without just assuming people are being mean to Queen Elizabeth.

That colonial past is right there.

Cards Against Humanity is donating 100% of their profits to the National Network of Abortion Funds if the order comes from a state restricting abortion access.

If someone selects “I didn’t agree to this” an additional $5 donation is added to their cart. 😂

BREAKING: US District Judge Reed O’Connor in Texas rules that requiring employers to provide coverage for PrEP drugs (preventing the transmission of HIV) violates the religious rights of employers under federal law (RFRA).

I wrote about how public libraries are facing a surge in challenges to their collections and threats to their funding.

“Censorship is not new,” one librarian told me. “But we haven’t seen this volume of censorship efforts in 30 or more years.”

Real question for the “now is not the appropriate time to talk about the negative impact of colonialism” crowd:

When is the appropriate time to talk about the negative impact of colonialism?

Okay!!!! This expectation that oppressed ppl cry tears over “complex historical figures” is interesting. But anyway RIP

It’s okay–essential, even–to speak the truth about people who caused great harm. Even after their death.

It’s my book’s 1st birthday! What a ride it’s been bringing it from an idea to being out in the world. I’m committed to continuing to educate, advocate & push toward a more accessible world—& most importantly, to learn, grow & try to do better just as I ask others to do the same.
