Hey! Are you going to SRCD’s Biennial in Minneapolis? Let me know if you’re going, if you’re presenting, and what you’re hoping to get out of this year’s conference! @srcdorg.bsky.social @thephdplace.bsky.social #AcademicSky #AcademicChatter #ChildDevelopment

Imagine hating Black people so much you don't want clean milk or healthy kids.

NEW: PublicSquare, a website that lets you search for businesses in your community that explicitly want you to know they endorse Trump/MAGA values, is backfiring as people use it to boycott those businesses. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...

I’m sorry but if anyone believes they sent that letter to Harvard by mistake I have a bridge to sell you and what not. They sent it, hoped for complete capitulation, and when it didn’t work and they got a little egg on their face, the very trumpian internal blame game+public gaslight started

Nobody from Target can explain why they thought ending DEI programs and cutting ties with Black businesses would have no impact on Black consumers spending money in their stores. They knew we'd stop. They simply underestimated the impact of us cutting them off. That's why it's still "no" for me.

All great. I’ve read them all. Some more than 3 times. 4 were book club books with my kiddos.

2025, also know as the year when the administration that decried an unjust “Deep State” actively tried to construct a deeply unjust “Deep State.” www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

I’m glad YOU are here too. Just in case you needed to hear that. #AcademicSky #AcademicChatter

Libraries are the COOLEST.

It would be great if — now stay with me — businesses didn’t raise prices because of the tariffs… INSTEAD, they should add a separate tariff FEE at the end of receipts so people can see that it’s 👏🏾 a 👏🏾 tax👏🏾! Also, make it HUGE. A BIG BEAUTIFUL TAX. #TariffAreTaxes #FinancialStability #TariffTantrum

The stories we tell ourselves and each other, whether they be old or new, are the foundation of humanity. We are the culmination of generations of storytelling. Pass the brilliance of books and story on someone else by donating to your local library. #BookSky #StoriesWeTell #Libraries

This bill has been a topic of conversation in my MSW course. We’ve been discussing the potential implications for our aging population in terms of financial burdens to acquiring necessary documentation to potential physical & geographic barriers to registration. #AllVotesMatter #AllVotersMatter

Ok. I walked away from my desk! Woooo! Now, I’m rereading a book about ultra-processed food whilst eating Lemonheads.. Aaahhhhhh…. 🫣😬 I’m doing too much and too little at the same time. #BookSky #CognitiveDissonance #IAmOftenTheProblem

Right now @ 9:37 PM EST: I’m sitting at my desk, working. I really wish I was in bed asleep. ~~SEVERAL HOURS FROM NOW~~ One more chapter won’t hurt… 💔 📚 🔮 I’m not an oracle, but I can absolutely see the future and I’m not a fan. #NoBehaviorsWereChanged #SoTired #NeverTooTiredToRead #BookSky

A read-in before a school board meeting is more than a protest – it’s a powerful stand for a wide variety of books, student voices, and the freedom to read. Let’s show up and speak out. #ReadInForRights #FreedomToRead #ProtectOurLibraries

I know I’m new here, but the bot to human ratio seems WILD. #BotSky

Ever feel like you're outside THE ROOM where the intellectual thought partners & collaborators of your dreams are just happily thinking & discussing & collaborating, but you're stuck outside. Like, you're at the threshold but never invited in? Yeah, me too. #AcademicSky #EduSky #BlackSky #research

Let’s be real — a world without libraries would be pretty boring. No stories, no study spots, no free events, no quiet escapes, no community. Libraries make life better. ♥️

This article by @drchristyrogers.bsky.social & @derekmorgan.bsky.social really helped me jump back into a sibling paper I've been neglecting🫣: tinyurl.com/37edrphj Overview papers are esp helpful when trying to learn or get back to a literature. #ManuscriptMonday #AcademicSky #manythanks

Did you hear this NPR story about how people aspire to be read more books? www.npr.org/2025/04/07/n... As someone who regularly ignores her family to #readmorebooks, I'm curious about how many books you read each year? Do you have a fav I should add to my list? #NationalLibraryWeek #ALA #BookSky

I just remembered that I made plans to be social tomorrow. HOW am I going to finish today, work tomorrow, BE SOCIAL tomorrow evening, & finish out the week? Past me & future me are at odds. Current me is also unhelpful. #AlreadyTired #AcademicCommunity #AcademicChatter #ItWillBeGreat

Today, I hosted my 2 kid book clubs. It was 2 hours of laughing & gasps & “SETTLE DOWNS.” But it was also a 2 hours to reflect on the literal & figurative power of transformations — big & small. The power of stories told & stories still to come. It was lovely. #booksky #KidLit #stories #mgbooks

I hope other university alliances start pooling resources and engaging in the kinds of collective action Rutgers is proposing here for the Big Ten. senate.rutgers.edu/report/resol...

Did you know that this week is #NationalLibraryWeek? We are the product of the stories we tell ourselves & each other. Stories are the foundation of our humanity & access to a broad range of stories fuel our hope, imagination, & innovation. #FindANewStory #ALA #booksky #stories #books #libraries

Motivational Speech You Didn't Ask For: The world is a lot. Breathe. Remember. Your value is innate, not dictated by external noise. You are worthy of good & amazing things. You are worthy of the time & energy & rest required for personal growth. You matter. #AcademicChatter #AcademicSky

Near the end of my 1st yr as an Asst Prof & I still feel like I'm settling in. Luckily, my office is a space that sparks joy and calm. Framed illustrations of Coal from @traceybaptiste.bsky.social's Boy 2.0 & the Chinatown spread from Rainbow Shopping (#QingZhuang) always make me smile.

One of the best part of being on that other platform was connecting and becoming internet friends with people like @karunariazi.bsky.social and @alechiadow.bsky.social! AH! What took me so long! This is the community my heart has been missing! #kidlit #middlegrade #writingcommunity #booksky
