Today @MisterMinor broke down using skill based instrction in teaching kids how to do social justice work.

Mind was blown.

Gonna try to break that down here if you aren’t lucky enough to be at #TCRWP

[Ashleigh Rose @betweenmargins]

@mpfix1 This one is awful. But allegedly for artistic purpose to make it seem like blood?

“I didn’t wanna be weird, I wanted to be like the characters I so admired.”

“Stories saved my life.”

@TonyWeaverJr has us deep in our feels thinking about the urgency of helping all kids love themselves.

We can all now say - “I have a book for you.”💛

[NY Public Library @nypl]

SO BASICALLY PUBLIC LIBRARIES ARE JUST 0.4% OF THE NEW YORK CITY BUDGET, BUT THE MAYOR IS TRYING TO CUT THE LIBRARY'S BUDGET WAY BACK. I’M TALKING $58.3 MILLION! LIBRARIES ARE ALREADY CLOSED ON SUNDAYS BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS CUTS AND MOST BRANCHES WILL BE OPEN FOR JUST FIVE DAYS A WEEK IF THESE CUTS GO THROUGH!! WE ONLY HAVE UNTIL THE END OF JUNE TO TELL @NYCMAYOR #NOCUTSTOLIBRARIES AND SAVE THE LIBRARY.

The OATHBOUND cover is here! 😈

Bree is back and the Legendborn Cycle continues March 4, 2025. Endless thanks to illustrator Hillary D. Wilson and designer Laura Eckes, the dream team who has been knocking it out of the park since LEGENDBORN!

[Kathy Zeisel @kathyzindc]

This is a recurring problem in DCPS schools & a real accessibility issues for disabled students and staff. @DCDGS needs to do better than weeks & months to repair school elevators.

[Ashleigh Rose @betweenmargins]

No urgency from @DCDGS to fix the EHMS elevator that has been broken for 3 weeks despite everyone in our building doing their due diligence. Please help ensure we are all in a safe & thriving bldg for ALL of our community

The only elevator at Eliot-Hine Middle School has been broken for 3 weeks. A thread on how hard this makes it to keep things accessible, operate a school building, and provide a quality experience for all:

[Ashleigh Rose @betweenmargins]

4. I spent all year collecting 100s of lbs of books for a free book fair at field day Monday. I have no way to get down 4 floors to give kids FREE BOOKS for summer

The only elevator @ EHMS has been broken for 3 wks
