“Each time I stand up to speak at a school board meeting, my knees shake, my voice catches... It isn’t that I’m more afraid of public speaking than death; it is that public speaking feels like it could cause my death.” And she does it anyway. Kudos, Kalyn Gensic. 👏

Anyone else watch WAR MACHINE on Netflix? Based on this article (deadline.com/2026/03/war-...) some of you must have. It was bad. Like really bad. We watched the end only to laugh at how bad it was. Now, Netflix is going to think it's a good idea to make more. 😭 #MovieSky

I love my job. Recently it included getting to introduce hundreds of 6th graders in Plano, Texas to Celtic mythology! Is it just me or do we need more books incorporating Matriarchal mythologies? #Edusky

Am I #Apple blinded? I thought their CEO was a man to look up to. At every turn the company is bowing to this administration. Not fighting for what's right, only what's easier for them to keep making money. What phone should I switch to? Computer? www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Memories I'll be taking home from YA By the Bay! Creative fun with Tampa HS students. R.L. Stine's 😂 jokes. The kindness of Tiffany D Jackson. So many new talented author and dedicated educator friends. #YAbooks #bookfestival #tampa

After watching Jimmy Kimmel last night, it made me wonder about why we let CBS off the hook. Why didn't we fight for Colbert? Was it that we needed it to be hit over the head by this administration more than once to take their silencing attempts seriously? What can we do to stand up for Colbert?

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social! He's doing what every House and Senate member should be doing! He's standing up, not only for his own district in New York, but for us all! This bill is going to do so much damage.

This op-ed explains how to start an ICE Watch neighborhood program in your community. Read the step-by-step guide here ⤵️

My son just called me on his way back from the gym. He's in college, and got up early (not his usual modus operandi) at the behest of a roommate. And he doesn't know it, but that call made my day. Hug your kids. They grow up too fast.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Happy World Otter Day! www.earth.com/news/world-o...

We should all be eating more Ben & Jerry's! Thank you Mr. Cohen for standing up and keeping what's happening in Gaza on the front page of every news outlet. Don't know what I'm talking about? Read this: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... @benandjerrys.bsky.social

Should this happen, the event would be countered by a massive turnout of citizens protesting his birth.

Meta used all of my books. How are we not consulted and, at the very least, paid? How do we join the lawsuit?

Needed to get some of my detangler hair spray that I usually get on Amazon. And since we're not shopping on Amazon this week, I did a search online and found it for MUCH cheaper on the brand's site--even with shipping! Lesson learned.

@peterbradshaw1.bsky.social Read your review in The Guardian of The Electric State. I was surprised to see, "I even wondered if Millie Bobby Brown’s hairstyle was supposed to make her look like Chewbacca." Even in context of what you wrote, it's mean. Do better. #MillieBobbyBrown

KELCIE MURPHY book 3, THE RACE FOR THE REAPER'S KEY is only $1.99 for the entire month of March! If you've been waiting to grab an ebook copy, now would be the time! Thank you @torteen and @macmillanusa for making this happen! #BookSky #kidlit #readers

🚨GA Librarians & Library Supporters, ACT NOW! Senate Bill 74 heads to floor vote Monday, & your senators need to hear from you first! Should SB 74 pass, librarians could face prosecution for high and aggravated misdemeanors should library materials be deemed “harmful to minors.” #Booksky #SOS

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

That asshole in the White House will NEVER speak for me. Smash that 💙 if you stand with President Zelensky.

📌💡🔥📚 Speak up!🗣️ "only 8% of Americans are in favor of banning books...less than 1% of parents restrict their child’s reading when given the chance...if the 92% of Americans who are against banning books do not speak up, we will live under a very small minority rule" #booksky #bookbans #politics
