I'm used to seeing maps of California elections with a more narrow blue area on the coast and the rest by and large red. The Proposition 50 map looks quite different. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202... #proposition50 #onemillionrising #indivisible

New York, California, there's still time to vote if you haven't. Thanks to all who have already exercised their civic duty. Here's a great article by our friend and colleague @wwilloww.bsky.social Please consider sharing it! www.inclusionstrategy.com/blog_post/wh...

My husband created this music video, an anthem for the movement we need right now. Check it out and please share!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNQk...

The Chris Wark P-Pod has become a key part of our seedling production process for the Reach and Teach Garden Project. Contact @chris-mas.bsky.social if you are interested in investing in his patented technologies for growing food. #smartfarming #agtech #sustainablefood #urbangardening

This about captures it. #comeyindictment #trumpjustice #nokings

@thedanrather.bsky.social Is spot on: Follow the $ (and, I would add, the racism/sexism) "Even more troubling is the case of Washington Post opinion editor Karen Attiah. She was fired on Monday because of a series of social media posts highlighting Kirk’s own comments about gun control and race."

🚨WHOA!!! What a powerful moment. "I'm your host, Stephen Colbert, but tonight we are all Jimmy Kimmel."

A lettuce seedling that I grew from seed in the Reach and Teach Garden Project (upper left) produced this lettuce growth when transplanted in Click and Grow system that we sell in our shop. What do you think? #urbangardening #kitchengarden #cityofgoodliving #gardenproject

Nice #independenceday #july4 reflection by @wwilloww.bsky.social today... www.inclusionstrategy.com/blog_post/in...

The tightest detailed summary of the budget in the International Press goes to the Helsenki Times... #usbudget #internationalpress #budgetsummary www.helsinkitimes.fi/world-int/27...

Detailed analysis of immigration related items in the budget.... nevadacurrent.com/2025/07/04/r...

I think Dean Withers did a great job of summarizing the "Big Beautiful Bill" that passed in the Senate in a very short amount of time. And I agree with him that all Americans should check out the video. www.tiktok.com/@itsdeaann/v...

We are thinking of adding Drinkmate soda machine products to our store. This would offer an alternative to Sodastream. Drinkmate is a U.S. company based in Michigan and manufactured in Taiwan. What do you think? #sodamachine #drinkmate #idrink #notsodastream

One month experiment to see if I can use our Click and Grow for hydroponic growing. I would call the experiment a success. From left to right, marjoram, mint, and basil. Growing media is Root Riot cubes in net pots. Nutrient solution is Master Blend. #hydroponics #indoorgarden #cityofgoodliving

Go ahead and say "AWWW..."! These are not Jellycats but adorable and cuddly animals from WUAMAN made from hypoallergenic Alpaca. Fair trade from a small family owned business in Peru. Check them out in our shop! #notjellycats #indiebookstore #cityofgoodliving #fairtrade #cuddly

The "book brigade" viral story re: how customers/friends of an indie bookshop gathered together to help move the bookstore reminds me of how many folks took time to help Reach and Teach move 2 years ago. I'm most grateful! #indiebookstore #bookbrigade #cityofsancarlos abcnews.go.com/GMA/Living/b...

35 years ago, I got to marry the love of my life Craig Wiesner. I'm so grateful to First Presbyterian Church Palo Alto, Rev. Diana Gibson and Rev. Dick Symes who boldly performed our marriage ceremony and the many friends who were there then and ever since to strengthen and affirm us as a couple.

Join us Saturday, 3/29 for a joyful celebration of diversity, inclusion, and storytelling! Drag Story Hour hosted by First Presbyterian Church Palo Alto features uplifting stories, crafts, and snacks. shop.reachandteach.com/event/2025-0... #dragstoryhour #lgbtq #safespace #cityofpaloalto

Really great live stream, "Save Our Services" re: response to DOGE action dismantalling critical federal agencies and services and robbing good qualified workers of their jobs serving us. Clear call to action... register at savepublicservices.com #saveourservices #savepublicservices

We're closing the doors to TheLastingSupper tonight so this is my last call to join us at the buffet table where we learn to actually enjoy our deconstruction with one others who finally get us. See you there!

Reach and Teach supports the 2/28 Economic Blackout this Friday but encourages folks to come to our shop at 4pm for a National Day of Reading event as we create a welcoming and affirming space for #transgender and #non-binary youth through readings of inclusive literature tinyurl.com/SMCPCNDOR2025

I'm really enjoying reading Chris Hayes's The Sirens' Call. Like what I said at one time about The Power of Habit, this book is an owner's manual for your brain that wasn't shipped with the product. shop.reachandteach.com/book/9780593...

Freckleface Strawberry, No Truth Without Ruth (RBG), and Hillbilly Elegy, among books Hegseth has removed from military base K-1 2 schools. pen.org/julianne-moo...

By customers' request, Reach and Teach is on bookshop.org/shop/reachan... where you can get books, ebooks, and audio books while supporting independent bookstores across the nation. But you can still order directly at reachandteach.com to get our books, toys, Fair Trade gifts. #indiebookstore

We were thrilled to be the guests on the Zoom program "How to Make the World a Better Place". Our topic was "Creating and Tending to Hopeful Spaces". You can view a Zoom recording at: bit.ly/hopeful-spaces

We are thrilled to be hosting this event on February 28th here in San Carlos California! We will focus on creating welcoming and affirming spaces for transgender and non-binary youth through the reading of inclusive literature, such as My Maddy, Kapaemahu, I Am Jazz, and Felix Ever After.

Incredibly thrilled to have the amazing Sharon Levin joining our team at reachandteach.com shop.reachandteach.com/welcome-shar...

People often ask my husband about how / why we created reachandteach.com Here's an opportunity to learn!

The entire sermon is really worthwhile. Trump was still fuming about it in the middle of the night.

Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage. — Maya Angelou
