I love this. It reminds me that all the things we do and have in life come out of beautiful, collaborative love.

Thank you, @jonnysun, for your beautiful book and your wisdom and love that you shared with all of us.

Rest in peace to one of the goats. I have amazing stories about her that I’ll keep close for the rest of my days. Cheers to Nikki Giovanni. A giant.

@VDOOZER Love the show, and the @jasonsegel parts with Alice are absolutely beautiful. I fear the language around the adoption parts are not aligned with the rest of the show. Seems flippant about the actual birth mom and baby. (Respectfully)

Your JOY can turn into just a Job when you lose your "Y".

Always love learning from @michaelharriot - this thread also gave me old school Paul Harvey vibes - and THAT is the rest of the story!

To lead is to provide a replicable example that intentionally involves a diverse community & engages staff and students to use their strengths, resources and talents to provide engaging, innovative experiences for all learners.

Yes. ❤️ This. I love this move, too.

[Tyler Rablin @Mr_Rablin]

One of my most-used teacher moves is that when I notice a student not working on whatever we're doing, I'll just wait until I catch their eye and then just give them a thumbs up with a face that says, "You okay?"

Often times the student nods and gets to it. Other times...

This quote by Arundhati Roy lives rent-free in my head: “There's really no such thing as the 'voiceless'. There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.”

[Tabitha Brown @IamTabithaBrown]

I know it doesn’t feel like it, but it’s going to be ok❤️. You’re doing better than you realize! I’m proud of you for not giving up! Hang on in there, it’s going to pay off! I love you!!

A Baltimore prosecutor stumbles upon two handwritten notes in Adnan’s case file. They change everything. A new episode from season one, out now. https://t.co/0O60tPrtxS

I keep thinking about this Fred Rogers quote: “I believe that appreciation is a holy thing, that when we look for what’s best in the person, we’re doing what God does; so in appreciating our neighbor, we’re participating in something truly sacred.”

"If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person."
