Although 50% of Mobile, AL was black, this was the only library they could use (one of five) during the Jim Crow era. It is reopening as a cultural center.

No one should use @JustFlyGlobal I am have been working for almost 2 months to rebook a flight. Unhelpful and unfriendly to customers. They prob got a gov't bailout and I can't get the credit for flights I've already paid for. Tax $$ at work!

Here I am on MSNBC! The sync is bad because of my rural broadband 😐 and I only had two minutes and was a little nervous but I hope I made the most of it. Thanks to @YasminMSNBC for having me on, all national coverage of this issue is in important!
"You have total right to decide what your child reads, [but] not what other people's children read." Librarian @misskubelik spoke to @yasminv this weekend about fighting back against parents' efforts to ban books by Black and LGBTQ+ authors.

Jason Reynolds in the Guardian: "I’m looking forward to the day that I read a newspaper, and someone says: ‘I grew up reading Jason Reynolds and that’s why I knew I could do this.’ Then I’ll know, I’ve done my job.” https://t.co/WEn4uOVtqS

Dear educators, Let's normalize this Thanksgiving story as a lie. Teach the kids the truth. Trust me, Kindergarten students can handle it.
Started my day by getting blocked by the woman who is selling this “reading comprehension activity” for kindergartners. 🗑 🗑 🗑 🗑 🗑 🗑 🗑 🗑

Today's vibe: When you do what you're supposed to do and get a virtual slap in the face. Profound regret for trying to participate.

Yes!!
Telling children who love graphic novels that "graphic novels do not help you grow as a reader," is not true and diminishes the children right along with the books. Reading doesn't belong to school. It belongs to readers. Value them!
