Because 2025 wasn't 2025ing enough, Casey Anthony is now on tiktok advocating on behalf of victims of violence. Unfortunately, legitimizing and platforming sociopaths is pretty on brand for America right now. But here's what we're not going to do...🧵 (1/4)

Malala Yousafzai is a powerhouse when it comes to fighting for girls' education. As a teen, she stood up to the Taliban & survived an assassination attempt. Instead of backing down, she became an even louder voice for change. She is the youngest Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. 🩷💪🏾 ♀️ #WomensHistoryMonth

If you don't want to participate in the economic blackout today, that's on you. But chill on the dissertation-length think pieces about how "it won't work." That's not what today is. Pls step aside so the rest of us can do the heavy lifting. I'm not arguing with folks Harriet would have left behind.

This is so sad. Michelle Trachtenberg was such a huge part of my childhood, Harriet the Spy, Dawn in Buffy, and of course, the one and only Georgina Sparks. Thank you for the memories, Michelle. Rest easy. 💔

People will look you dead in the eye and say they don't see the thing that all of us see when looking at the faces of all the anchors that have "exited" NBC this week.
You are not crazy. You are not overreacting. Exactly what you think is happening, is happening.

Just finished my 8th book of the year. Definitely behind my usual pace. By February, I'm normally pushing 20-25 books. If you're in a reading slump, don't feel bad, it's not you. It's hard to enjoy a good book when the whole country is on fire. Give yourselves some grace. 📖 🩷 #BlackBookSky #BookSky

Book bans impact public libraries & bookstores, but it’s school libraries where they are rampant ❤️🩹
Many kids are unable to make it to the public library. They can’t drive, often times the library isn’t in walking distance. It’s not that their grown-ups don’t want them to be library kids.

I have two reading moods:
1. I’ll devour anything in sight.
2. None of the 2,000 books on my shelf feel right.
And there is no in between. #Booksky

Not me spending the last 30 minutes making lunch for my kids for school tomorrow, and then remembering it's a federal holiday, so they don't have school tomorrow 😬😭🤣
