I helped a student with a piece that won our org's annual writing contest. It's a beautiful and vulnerable narrative about how running helped her find joy again after a loss in her family. She wins a $2,500 scholarship, iPad, and public reading:

@el_tragon_de_LA Looooove South LA Cafe

Put in the work to get 12 of my student-editors to the National Scholastic Press Association convention in San Francisco.

I know their work is good, as good as at any well-resourced private or suburban school, and the kids were very excited to be recognized as "Best in Show."

I contributed a piece to Shondaland about the importance of Friendsgiving and the impact of my late friend Patricia Wu. I hope you'll give it a read:

Uh, I’m mainly on Twitter to follow @nihilist_arbys, but also thanks to all the cool writers and journalists I’ve been fortunate to interact with.

I wrote for @Chalkbeat about the things I learned from teaching at a failed school that could help us all as we reset now:

@adrianachavira @SPLC Ugh. Keep fighting the good fight. CA law is plenty clear on this one. Where does your board member @ScottAtLAUSD stand on this?

@StarbucksCare: Fri. at Store #1009663 (28th + Fig in LA), saw two cops get a huge (70%) discount. Asked if it applies to #teachers too. They said no -only cops.

Standard practice? Why special treatment just for police?

Just saw two cops get a huge discount at the @Starbucks across from USC (north side) on Fig I asked if it applies to teachers too. They said no. Only cops.

@Starbucks: No love for #teachers? Why special treatment just for law enforcement?

@PeterAbraham I recognized that green PDX carpet right away. Enjoy the best airport food in the country :-)

For @ThePublicSquare, I write on what I learned during a year of teaching remotely: "The challenges we all still face as the pandemic continues are immense. But fortunately, one of the most impactful tools we have to cope with those challenges is simple."

@jelani9 Leaving accountability to "history" is the same as leaving it to "thoughts and prayers."

This means letting the next round of fascist leaders thrive

[Beth Huang 🌹 @bphuang12]

I want Trump to be removed so that every 5th grader who asks “why was Mike Pence President for 2 days” hears a story about why white supremacy & fascism are threats to democracy. Millions of students in the next decades will ask this question and will know to reject fascism.

@DoranyPineda90 Love this! As an SRLA coach, an annual tradition is the pre-Thanksgiving "pie run" - 5 mile circuit, kids must get to the bakery before it closes, retrieve a mini-pie from me and then run back to school with it. We always have kids who've never had pie before!
