just caught MTM S7E5 "Ted's Change of Heart". I found you, MTM, and Gavin MacLeod watching the sunset so poignant <3

If Texas tested the ability of @ERCOT_ISO as much as they test public school children, I doubt we would be in this situation. #texaspoweroutage

I am puzzled. If Congress and the Administration can agree to give trillions to corporations, big banks, airlines, and 600,000 others, why can’t they agree to appropriate $500 billion to open schools safely, in accordance with science? What about the children? and their teachers?

Three universal truths:
1. Teachers are not babysitters.
2. Teachers can’t wait to be back in the classroom once it’s safe.
3. Everyone needs to wear a mask.

If DeVos forces schools to reopen without resources to protect students and staff, stay home.

Using YA Novels to Make Sense of #MeToo nyti.ms/2N8ZIbE “It finally dawned on me that adults have a responsibility to be honest with kids about what they are facing every day,” (LH Anderson) said. I'm lucky to have an ARC of Shout - outstanding 5/5 stars
Heartbreaking yet hopeful; riveting and inspiring; essential reading for all humans. Thank you @Abdi_Iftin for sharing your story! @penguinrandom

“women are ruining sci-fi!!!” first of all, your genre was *invented* by a 17-year-old girl, she made love on her mother’s grave and kept her late husband’s calcified heart on her desk but sure, your wizard-space-fantasy is so badass,
Let's stand together to show library greatness & crush those naysayers. #APLambassador #librarylove
