@C__Vaughn is still out there doing important work. I'm glad that even though our PMG team lost her, Portland didn't. 📰 Go give her stories a read.

Earlier today, middle schoolers walked out of class after 2 Black educators were recently placed on leave. Families already had concerns over admin, one of which is a white man who "identified as Black" in college and is now the subject of a complaint.

I remember reading "The Bermudez Triangle" as a teen and finding it somehow comforting. I didn't know why until I was about 25. 🌈

I’ve had the privilege of writing YA for 15 years. In that time, I’ve seen readers grow up. Some of my beautiful queer kids who found themselves and are now beautiful queer adults. I’m so proud of you. I know it wasn’t easy for a lot of you...

Is it just me, or does it seem like republicans spend 100% of their time and our money subverting elections, oppressing the vote, and plotting how to cheat to hold power INSTEAD of solving the problems of the people?

There's some good info in the comments for my college grad friends who owe. 🧑‍🎓💸

One of the few perks of having an S.O. on graveyard shift is you can binge all of the trash reality TV they hate while they sleep. #oppositesattract

@chriskeizur Oh no. First you talked about this show so much at work that I had to check it out, and now you're reminding me there's MORE? What a terrible influence.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

I just think we really need to be more careful with each other.

We handle each other so violently…verbally, physically, psychologically.

Looking at houses on Zillow that you definitely won't be able to afford possibly ever and thinking: "Oh, only one bathroom. That might be a deal breaker." is the most confident about homeownership I think most Millennials will ever be. 🏡

@danahaynes I'd think for an editor on the go like you it'd be innovative. 😂
