I woke up from nightmares where people were screaming: debris debris debris debris debris and looking up at the ceiling but there was no ceiling and no ground, only screaming. Please God deliver Rafah. Please God, intervene.

May I continue to live a life that pleases God and honors the name of Dr. Dorothy Height. Thank you NYU Steinhardt for creating this leagacy-shaping moment for me💜.

Just finished reading this. It is a wonderful book. I teach 4th and 5th graders and think they all should read this. Fun story with so many great points made about how to figure out what it means to be a good human.
Thank you Maysoon #shinymisfits

The reading is over now, but the recording will stay up at the link if you missed it or want to share with folks you know.

If you watch, if you share, if you play for groups (& I hope you do, if you are moved), make sure to give with liberatory abandon to بلدية غزة - Municipality of Gaza & Gaza Funds

📸 #Kweli24 #TBT So glad you were able to join us, Phoebe Sinclair!

“Rejecting the propaganda of empire is creative. Every time we write the word ‘Palestine’, that is creativity. It is creative to look at intentional erasure & confront it. How can I write poetry to be useful - to my people, to the movement?…” -Safia Elhillo #kweli24 Kweli Journal

We love seeing these photos. Thank you, Traci Huahn ✨MAMIE TAPE FIGHTS TO GO TO SCHOOL✨ for sharing your powerful work and wisdom with us at #Kweli24 ! #TBT

Do not stop protesting, we need your voices.

The main maternity hospital in Rafah has stopped admitting patients.

IT IS REALLY BAD IN RAFAH

I ONLY SEE KIDS BEING KILLED!

I ordered this for each of my nieces for their birthdays. This book highlights the resilience of refugee children and shows how they can be a beacon of hope - which they are if we act to save them. Support this amazing Palestinian author, and those in occupied Palestine

It is clear when you’re in the presence of an expert teacher. Not because of the way they show off what they know. But because of the way they demonstrate a deep regard and love for their students; the way they delight in their students brilliance; 1/3

Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek to my mom, my first teacher! The one who homeschooled me at the local library. The one who taught me the joys of being a book dragon. The one who taught me it’s okay to not be okay.

Thank you is not enough, but thank you for everything, teachers 💛
