This just reminded me of Hanif and Jason Reynolds riffing on the Bullets at the DC release event and I am laughing all over again. Okay this concludes my basketball tweets for tonight but get this book, it’s incredible even for a basketball-only-via-Twitter “fan” like me

It’s incredibly upsetting but moving to hear Reggie talk about this himself. If you’d like to learn more about the cost of integrating sports, I can’t recommend _We Will Win the Day_ by profloumoore enough! kentuckypress.com/9780813153803/…

A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE. Today -- and every day -- we remember our beloved brothers and sisters at the Capital Gazette who we lost in 2018.

VP: Donald. I do hope you'll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage. Because as the saying goes, if you got something to say, say it to my face

This was the first time I ever heard of Gov Walz. Listening to people like Valerie Castile caught my attention. Thankful for all the meals these kids have eaten since and optimistic about what’s to come!

First Day of School, 21 years into teaching. I am honestly just so thankful that I still love it this much. The kids are just so much fun. I had an incredible summer, and I didn’t think I was ready to be back, but once they hit the doors, I was ready. 💚

Mary Hunter Austin wrote a whole book about this in 1920 (No. 26 Jayne Street) soooo it would seem we will be collectively standing here for a while yet.

I have my students write physical gratitude notecards before big tests. My colleagues love it AND research says that activating that part of the brain can improve the kids’ performance. Plus, then I get to see them posted up in colleague classrooms later. 💚

Roberts’s work literally changed my whole life for the better, and _Killing the Black Body_ rerouted me onto a path that has changed the lives of many others. Thrilled to see her work supported in this way!!
