Name a picture book that can give us hope during this time.

Moot point, but it would be nice if certain faculty in the humanities, arts, and sciences saw those of us in schools and colleges of education as actual colleagues... because before they came for your departments, they started coming for PK-12 education way back in the late 20th century.

Why not?

Snow day in Ohio!!! My southern heart is so happy 😊

Everytime!!!

This book is so powerful and beautiful.

Glad to have shared space with this legend. Forever in my heart ❤️ 🥹

Let today’s Capitol Hill bathroom sit-in spark an era of radical defiance. Trans folks refuse to bow to hate and bigotry. We demand dignity and respect. We will fight like our ancestors. We are building with our elders and peers. And trans youth will inherit a better world. 📸: Alexa Wilkinson

Loved being a part of NCBLA!! A beautiful group of people all around. ❤️

Feeding your students writing through generative AI for feedback without students' permission is unethical. AI is infamous for stealing other artists' work, especially writing. We should value our young writers enough to give them a choice in whether their precious work is used to train the platform

So grateful for time with my family and friends!

Full bellies and rummikub for the win!!

Happy Thanksgiving. Grateful, as always, for community and gourmet delicacies.

The efforts taken to find students over the summer and put together felony charges against them is deplorable.

Does anyone still do this?

@jamesmcbride.bsky.social never disappoints, so I'm excited to start my holiday reading with the heaven and earth grocery store.

I'm so grateful for @ruthlowery and her mentorship. #childrensliteratureassembly #ncte24

I am still learning about everything and everyone I missed seeing at #ncte24. Yall, that rain and wind shook me right back to my bed on more than one occasion 😂

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #literacy #libraries #librarians

I had such a wonderful time at #ncte24 with so many. I'm not a big picture taker, but just know these are a small fraction of the people I am grateful to have shared space with.
