@tanzinavega Same!

@jpatrickwise @LGAairport @JFKairport @AmericanAir Right, huge inconvenience + minimal support. I I filed a complaint online, awaiting their reply @AmericanAir

[JFer @jen_fernandez]

Started off @LGAairport at 2:30pm today for a 5:30pm flight & here I am at 7:45pm, at a different airport @JFKairport & still not on my flight to LAX. 5 hours later & @AmericanAir airport staff are unable to make proper accommodations/compensation. A meal voucher will not suffice

I understand the sentiment behind the phrase “learn to rest not quit”

But you gotta quit sometimes. To quit well you gotta discern when an effort is misaligned with your long-term goals + self-worth.

Learn to rest, yes, but learn how everything you do ladders up to your vision.

@Roldanjjr @nytimes Agreed! I like the flashing idea. I don’t need to know its exact placement but let me know the letter repeats. Or something! @nytimes

bell hooks was an extraordinary writer, thinker, and scholar who gave us new language with which to make sense of the world around us. Her work was imbued with a deep commitment to truth-telling, but also with a profound sense of care and love for community. She was a treasure.

Some groups have been questioning the importance of social-emotional learning for partisan aims. As I write in my newest op-ed for the Daily News, we should stick with the evidence if we want to do right by our kids.

Expressing doubt doesn't always mean you lack confidence. It might be that you see nuance.

The presence of certainty can signal the absence of complexity. Conviction can crowd out careful consideration.

The person who talks tentatively has often done the deepest reflection.

I am grateful for and overwhelmed by everyone who signed this letter and the N&O ad. This fight is not about me: "We call on all people of conscience to decry this growing wave of repression and to encourage a recommitment to the free exchange of ideas." https://t.co/Cw5jmwyMBl

Shoutout to all the teachers. Credentialed or not. Licensed or not. Graduate degree or not. The ones who makes souls sing and help us to pursue the best versions of ourselves. You are deeply appreciated #HipHopEd #TeacherAppreciationWeek
