Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Amazing talk from @biblioracle.bsky.social #NCTE25 3 pages of notes and counting. . . This book is a necessary read for all ELA teachers!

Shenanigans and smiles last night. We met Judd (author/cartoonist/Real World SF) and it great. Judd was friendly and warm and a wonderful conversationalist. Thank you @thewritewerther.bsky.social #NCTE25

Spectacular and the action was spot on.

Tonight, @tienpham.bsky.social and I saw The Hunger Games On Stage in London. It was phenomenal—the opening night/days critiques must have all been addressed because we had a glorious night in the theatre! #HungerGames

- i found you skipping stones at dawn your laughter tangled in the cattails you promised nothing but trouble your libertine heart would never be contained i just smiled watching ripples ebb and fade - #vss365 #poetry #read

My lesson for today.

I really enjoyed your session. It was packed with so much writing gems 😃

Wow, what a morning ! @literarycleveland.bsky.social , Inkubator where have you been all of my life 🥰.

Can’t wait

Panicking about math, reading, and science scores while diverting resources to "AI in schools" is nonsensical, but here we are. The declines in scores began a decade ago with the influx of devices and edtech software into K-12 schools. It's not the only factor, but it is important.

TAPPER: Hepatitis A, whooping cough, & chickenpox cases are rising in Florida. Before you made this decision to lift vaccine mandates, did your dept do any analysis of how many new cases there will be? LADAPO: Absolutely not T: You didn't even do a projection? L: It's an issue of right & wrong

Sometimes we found some really big icebergs while sailing in Greenland… Beautiful soft moment during endless sunset.

Hey @shkrajewski.bsky.social and @thewritewerther.bsky.social !!! Very excited for November .

Yes 🙌🏻!!! One of my favorite days of the year - @ncte.org Conference schedule! Look at this fab presentation 😊. Please join us 🤟🏼

This is not Graham Abbey's first foray into The Winter's Tale — he first performed as Florizel in the Festival's 1998 production and directed two other productions. This season, he is portraying the central figure of Leontes. Read more in this interview: ow.ly/vUeX50Wl7aG #SFWintersTale

This was such a powerful experience. If you need a non fiction AP Lang book for your class, I think this would make a powerful addition.

We have some time yet until @ncte.org's #NCTE25, but the Conference on English Leadership is offering two sessions for administrators, supervisors, department chairs, state leads, and all literacy/ELA leaders! Join our roundtables or social hour to reconnect or see what CEL has to offer! #CEL25

My own private Idaho is a masterpiece. Love this movie .

What are the top books assigned in U.S. high schools? Turns out they're mostly the same as thirty years ago. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

We’re told we need to think critically, to not fall for misinformation. Thankfully, it’s a skill we can practise and become better at.

Starting this one soon. I’m hesitant and excited at the same time.

So, I just started this book a few minutes ago and the second page alone got me. WOW. Such beautiful writing and the impact of these words.

Love this , ohhhh the possible narratives

Starting Tuesday: #PoemADayJuly with myself, @heymrsbond.com and @thevogelman.bsky.social 😎 The first seven poems listed here—we'll discuss one each day, and everyone is welcome! Building community by talking about poetry is a pretty cool thing, so let's do it! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Maggie Smith’s words.This past year,I learned that two things can be true.Two truths can both exist at the same time.There are wicked & selfish people in the world, but there are also good & bright souls in the world as well.You exist.So, for that, I’m thankful. Please keep doing what you are doing.

In 1885, white rioters murdered dozens of Chinese residents of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The story of the atrocity is still being unearthed 140 years later.

Such a relevant piece . Watch it. 😊 #pride

If you need a good read, check out Ocean Vuong’s new book. It is poetry in motion. His prose is laced with his signature poetic style, his attention to detail, humanity, and nuance — astounding.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited No matter now much I want to scream, “I told you so” in order to vindicate our warnings, I know we must do whatever we can to get those “others” to join us. Not really talking about the cult members, but the independents & those who are starting to see the light.

Final stop in this crazy, nine-cities-in-nine-days sprint across the country and back for the launch of “Strangers in the Land!” Please come out Boston! www.americanancestors.org/events/micha...

Love this podcast

My copy of @michaelluo.bsky.social’s book Strangers in the Land arrived yesterday. I can’t wait to dive into this book with sticky notes and color pens 🖊️

Pub day for Strangers in the Land! Woke up to this lovely @nytimes.com review. "In an evenhanded style that yields neither a woke polemic nor a sanitized past, he traces the lives of immigrants to a country that actively drew them in and then tried to push them out." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/b...
