@luckey_twitt @ehanford Abstract symbols like the alphabet are not the same as pictographs. We can agree on that, I hope. I assume a strong connection between sounds (arbitrary and patterned) and words. Sounds are not meaning. Meaning is dependent on context, history of use, and etymology.

[David Bowles (has left this place) @DavidOBowles]

This cowardly stance is indefensible.

@Scholastic is facilitating the silencing of Latino and other BIPOC voices when they are needed most.

Where is the literary dignity in placating religious fascists?

So @Scholastic has a No Diversity Option and Librarians have to Opt In to get diverse books now. Talk to me, folks. Other Options for Book Fairs? Happy to retweet.

A school book ban is any action taken against a book that leaves access to a book restricted or diminished. This decision of moving my book from its original place, taken after one parent complained, diminishes the access elementary schoolers would have previously had to my poem. Glad @FLFreedomRead and I could help clarify that for @MDCPS to ensure accurate information.

Hey @Scholastic we need to talk…

I need you to be brave.

Love,

The bipartisan @January6thCmte has extensively covered how Trump’s use of Twitter played a critical role in the violence of that day.

Review their extensive work & ask yourself why a billionaire is toying w/ bringing back the person responsible for this:

We believe there is much to learn from moments of struggle to stay on course. We want to cultivate a space where those stories can be shared and become teachable moments for our community of educators.

Just over 2 weeks to share your struggles for the May issue!

How do themes of fugitivity, fantasy, futurity, and freedom show up in award-winning children’s literature that feature Black children? @GlobalBHG analyzes the richness of depictions of Black culture through these themes in our latest issue: https://t.co/gD7tG3EqbZ

Wrote this poem several months ago and it echoed inside me today. Sometimes we have no words. And sometimes words are all we have.

School boards, even ones with well-intentioned folks, can get disoriented in the face of these dramatic performances, especially when they are repeated for weeks on end. They start confusing the very small, very vocal, very agitated minority for "the community."

[Ashley Hope Pérez @ashleyhopeperez]

Hey, @samsanders! This just in, from your home state (and mine)... These wild challenges are multiplying like fruit flies on a rotting melon.

Stand up for kids' access to the stories that will broaden their world, y'all.

Geez. When you put it like that...

Please read this thread.

I don't know if "report abuse" matters on Amazon, but it'd be great never to see this "review" again. Or to douse it in authentic responses.

Also wanted: tool to erase the rest of the hate flowing into my every inbox.

[Ashley Hope Pérez @ashleyhopeperez]

And while you're digesting what @andrewkarre says about getting authors & books and teens out of the gnashing teeth of the book-banning gears, here's this video ICYMI, & I hope (although don't expect) that I'm the last author who has to respond like this. https://t.co/83G1iDn8ia

[Ashley Hope Pérez @ashleyhopeperez]

I don't think I have much more left to give today, but yesterday I had a whole lot to say about this experience--not just the banning but the broader attack on education.

The thread is long, but maybe worth it. I had some new words to help hold the feelings & thoughts about now.
