Hey folks ...
Please, if you have a moment, read Alex Gino's note about Ann Clare LeZotte. She is an incredible person and has gifted us with some amazing children's literature.
She is in need. Please give if you can and amplify the call.
Aware????? They raped her for SEVEN hours with tranquilizer on their cocks and posted “FREE PUSSY” in a group fucking chat!
And all Cornell University did was basically make them write “we will not rape” on a chalkboard during detention?!!!
Investigate the fucking university NOW!!!

THE WHOLE CLASS NOVEL IS A MYTH.
Teens will spend more effort and creativity NOT reading classics and answering questions no one cares about than it would take to read the boring ass old book.
We - as a field - have got to change a failing system and stop blaming students!
Leaving @LRA_LitResearch 2025 disappointed w/ the board's decision to hold 2026 conference in Hawaii
Native Hawaiians have asked us to stop the tourism machine that is destroying their lands.
1/2

LRA is showing us - once again who the org is and what they care about.
Keep Hawaiian Lands in Hawaiian Hands
Claiming that Black people are unqualified to perform the same jobs as White people is racist. There is no wiggle room on this point. Your presumption makes you a racist.
*DJ Khaled voice* Another one!
For @HuffPost, I wrote about why certain folks hate VP Harris’s laugh. TL;DR: A Black woman’s laughter is a powerful display of freedom and joy that you can’t take away.

We have to talk about age: Donald Trump is too old to serve as President. He rambles. He keeps forgetting names. His vocabulary is in decline. He has trouble finishing sentences. Many experts think he's demented. Clearly unfit to serve as commander-in-chief.
I tried to warn y'all back in June that the "replace Biden" ramblefuckery was really about VP Harris. If something happens to Biden, some Democrats don't want VP Harris to become president.
ALT It’s possible Sticker Mule violated multiple federal and consumer protection laws by using customer data to fundraise for a political candidate.
I will explore whether a class action is in the best interest of affected customers. Any consumer protection lawyers with experience in class actions are welcome to chat ☕️
