@sewistwrites Focus activity. Reading a book would be disrespectful as their attention is focused on something else. 🧶 is a fidget for talented people.

@nikkigrimes9 Beautifully written. So many of our kids go through these things as well, and they need to know they are not alone. Kids need these books.

After a British gunman killed 16 people in 1987, the country banned semiautomatic weapons like those he had used. It did the same with most handguns after a 1996 school shooting. It now has one of the lowest gun-related death rates in the developed world.
They have mental health issues there too.

In Australia, a 1996 massacre prompted mandatory gun buybacks The rate of mass shootings went from once every 18 months to only one in the 26 years since.
They have mental health issues there too.

Canada also tightened gun laws after a 1989 mass shooting.
So did Germany in 2002, New Zealand in 2019 and Norway in 2021.
They have mental health issues in all of those places too.

There have been 389 school shootings in the United States since Columbine.
Since Sandy Hook — mass shootings here have nearly tripled.

103 people have been killed and 281 people injured from school shootings since Parkland.

And there have been well over 100 incidents of gunfire at K-12 schools since the Uvalde school shooting.

This. Is. An. American. Problem.
Yes, we have mental health issues here at home, but the difference… is the guns.

There are more civilian owned guns in this country than there are civilians.

It’s the guns.

Know what happens to kids who grow up with unfettered access to books?

They read.

They think critically.

And when they have questions or feel uncomfortable, they turn to trusted adults & have conversations that help them grow.

Try being that adult instead of banning books.

This is one of the most profound videos I’ve filmed since the rise of Trump. I asked him why he was there. Tears rolled down his cheeks. His father who was a WWII veteran (like my dad) told him “We gotta stop this guy”. He was a squadron commander and he lost 110 men and he never got a scratch. And he lived his whole life trying to be worthy of their sacrifice. And he asked me to do the same. So this is a very small thing to do. But why everyone in the country isn’t doing this and trying to understand what this man is doing to our country. I don’t get it. But everybody needs to do something to stop this guy” Please listen to every single word and share. #TrumpArraignment #Truth

@dsantat I won’t buy anything without pockets anymore. I use to get locked out of my classroom every time I wore something without pockets, so I stopped buying those things years ago.

@haleshannon This looks like a friend of Strawberry Shortcake, but I don’t recognize her. 🤔 Maybe by the same company?
