Very important puppy pictures! Meet our new furry family member. We're still finding the right name for her, but she is just too cute to not share these with the world. 😊

My first opinion piece was just published! As a @BaltCoPS teacher I have a lot of mixed emotions: excited I'm published in @baltimoresun, anger that I had occasion to write it in the first place, and cautious optimism as we prep to resume class tomorrow.

“When I'm sometimes asked, when will there be enough women on the Supreme Court, and I say, 'When there are nine,' people are shocked. But there'd been nine men, and nobody's ever raised a question about that.” ― Ruth Bader Ginsburg Our debt to her is beyond words.

Chadwick Boseman was an extraordinary talent and an icon in his own right who brought to life legends like Jackie Robinson, Thurgood Marshall, and James Brown, as well as Black Panther. I hope his family can take some comfort knowing he is loved by so many. #ripchadwickboseman

Excited for my girl!
.@JoeBiden can unify the American people because he's spent his life fighting for us. And as president, he'll build an America that lives up to our ideals. I'm honored to join him as our party's nominee for Vice President, and do what it takes to make him our Commander-in-Chief.

Just saw that John Lewis has died. It hurts in a way it's hard to put words to. I was just telling my mom an hour ago I'd like to teach the March trilogy. All I can say is he truly lived; he changed this world for the better.

I'm so shocked and saddened by this news. For as long as I can remember, Elijah Cummings has represented the best of what a politician can be. As he put it, "Each morning, I wake up, and I go and fight for my neighbors." May we all strive to do the same.

Week of 10/13 in Taurus: The past is a purple sky. What about the times you didn’t want to know. Feel the soft air. It’s happening.

The big thing that's going to help me come to terms with Toni Morrison's passing is that she has so many "children" and "grandchildren" who are carrying on her legacy of rigorously loving Black people in this country and engaging the world critically in order to free us all.
