Back to school season shouldn’t be the start of school shooting season. Literally no other developed country has anywhere near the level of gun violence we have in this country and it’s fucking unacceptable we act like there’s nothing we can do.

[Elaine Schwing Cook @schwingaling]

I’m tired of people acting like school shootings are because we send our kids to school and not because we allow guns to be accessible.

If you are scared about “the world we live in,” use your vote to do something about it. This isn’t out of our collective control…

Just saw a video of a foam party at a WVU blue lot tailgate. I bet @mp_campbell was there. 😎 #iykyk

I haven’t been following/caring about WVU football since I moved from Morgantown in 2020 but dang watching the Pat McAfee Show and thinking about the game today, I am so in my feels. Is this the influence of a boy in my belly?!
LETS GO!

@Mr_Oldfield @WVEducation With the new executive order banning cell phones in school, Virginia teaching is looking better every day 😅

@Adam_Riazi Watch your words. When you send 500 cards a year, you need the price down!

@john_seelke @cluzniak Who pays for childcare on the 6th and 7th day that we don’t have school already?

[Elaine Schwing Cook @schwingaling]

@Adam_Riazi You buy those on ebay too?

[Elaine Schwing Cook @schwingaling]

Ahh the last night of spring break. When you realize you did none of the productive things you said you’d do over spring break… 😅

[Elaine Schwing Cook @schwingaling]

Not a month into fostering and I already feel like I could write a novel about the woes of navigating the systems… and then we get a call that our foster agency is closing in a month. Cool cool. #wv #fostercare

[Elaine Schwing Cook @schwingaling]

So I guess if we finally return to school tomorrow, I become a working mother? 🤨 #FosterMom #ALotChangedIn5Days

@Mr_Oldfield Do you have a pizza oven too?! We’ll have to share the best pizza dough recipie. 🤗

If you don’t post about how many books you read in a year, can you even read?

The only book I loved this yr was the breathtaking Demon Copperhead. I will hold Demon in my ❤️ for a lifetime.

Here’s to not taking recommendations from others & only reading books *I* want in ‘24!

[West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy @WVCBP]

Regardless of expansions of the Hope Scholarship, the vast majority of school-age children will continue to be educated in our public school system, which will have fewer resources as a result. Read the full report here: https://t.co/dBma9gKYLM

[ACLU of WV @ACLU_WV]

Public money should never be used to fund discrimination. Period.

Read the damning report from our friends at West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy on the HOPE Scholarship, which funnels millions of WV tax dollars into private, unaccredited schools.
