My parents went to Hands-off Rally at their state capitol. My mom sent a photo wearing a MISS shirt. I was teaching kids science at an autism friendly science festival while my mom was fighting for our organization to be able to continue doing this inclusive science ed/research

For those that need to hear it: I am a Black. Woman. And neither of those are dirty words. I will still be those things even after you have removed them from all the websites and grant proposals. If you think I'm going to just go away and stop existing...you are mistaken

I'm sorry there was an adorable kids musical about sharks???? How did I miss this?

[LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻 @LongTimeHistory]

Trump cancels award winning children's musical on Day 1 as Chair of Kennedy Center.

Trump is afraid to let you see "Finn"—a shark's coming of age story—so I'm posting it here.

Here are the scary lyrics.👇
🎶If we learn how to live by the golden rule.
You and me we can swim with our chosen school.
Cause you know we are part of the same sea crew.
Yea, it's true! All ya gotta be is you!🎶

The musical was nominated just last week for Best New Play or Musical.

The show had been so successful that the Kennedy Center planned a two-year long national tour—something that had already been thought through, budgeted, and planned for.

From the creator of "Doc McStuffins" and "Vampirina," the children's musical " Finn" follows a young shark who dreams of following in his family's footsteps by joining the prestigious Shark Guard.

Friends and Colleagues, now is when we need you. We need you to hold the line. We need you to stand your ground. Work through the red tape. Cut through it. When you start to think 'my hands are tied' remember my ancestors came here in literal shackles and fought anyway.

OMG I'm so proud of @InkaCresswell !! If you came to the @MISS_Elasmo film screening a couple years back we showed two of her earlier works. She's such a rock star and an incredible filmmaker. Everyone should watch Our Oceans.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

A few weeks ago, I met with Girl Scouts on their trip to @MontereyAq. We talked about the magical world just beneath the surface of our oceans, and how our fates are inextricably linked. I hope you’ll check out Our Oceans from @HGMedia, which is streaming now on @Netflix.

@InkaCresswell You're so cool! I'm definitely going to watch this over my holiday vacation

Anyone else getting spammed with texts about white supremacists planning to attack? Is it just me? Is it because I have a SC phone number? SC isn't even a swing state like why y'all sending me these threatening messages? I already voted leave me alone
