I teach toddlers, and I'd love to have some help with my list! #clearthelists

If you feel like doing a small good thing today, you could do worse than getting something off a teacher's list. Like mine! #clearthelist

Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.
His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #BrownIsBeautiful
If you think sparrows are boring, you simply haven’t seen their fine feathers.
Its feathers are like city architecture in nature’s palette, subtle, yet perfectly composed.

"Removing bovino doesn't solve the problem"
I dunno, dude, it seems to entirely solve the problem of having bovino around. Bitch is a first town boss in a jrpg. He's not the end, but beating him allows you to progress and feel good about it.

A win!

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

Believe me, Americans KNOW what is happening. A general strike in the US is not feasible when employment is at-will in many states and a majority of people’s health insurance is tied to employment. The US is also ENORMOUS with a very spread-out populace. It’s not so simple.

Once known for its trees and community, Altadena is now a test of who — and what — gets to come back after disaster.
A year after the Eaton Fire, permit delays keep Black families from returning - High Country News
The Eaton Fire stripped Altadena of its trees, and for some Black families, of their place in it.

I need people who were wrong about everything to actually look back and recognize that there was a reason they were wrong and maybe they need to update their understanding of the world.
Otherwise they don't really think they were wrong.

these right wing clowns continuing to express absolute shock over the organizing of the left also reflects a deeply sexist ignorance of the fact that EXPERIENCED, INCREDIBLY EFFICIENT AND HARDWORKING VOLUNTEERS, PRIMARILY WOMEN, RUN THE FUCKING SHOW WITH ALMOST EVERYTHING GOOD IN THIS COUNTRY
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.
