Activist Mollie Davis unfurled a scroll of all the school shootings in the US
In 2019.
I deliberately showed the end of the scroll in this illustration, with the hope & belief that there will be an end someday.
How much longer until we act??

My heart is with the families who sent their children off to Brown this semester, full of hope and excitement about their future, and who have been counting down the days until they are reunited for the holidays. And with everyone who spent Saturday night in fear — many in a basement, without food 💔

Last night as I tried to wedge a container of leftover turkey into the fridge, it slipped from my hands and hit the ground corner first, popping the lid & splattering an arc of shredded meat across the kitchen like a bad horror film.

— The best part of the traditional Thanksgiving Dinner is the apps. The best T-Day meal I ever had was the All-Appetizer Friendsgiving I organized in grad school.
— The second-best part is fun cocktails/mocktails.
We’ve got a spiced sweet potato syrup this year - what should we make?

Tell me your Thanksgiving Dinner Hot Takes.
I’ll start:
— Sweet Potato Pie is VASTLY superior to Pumpkin Pie
— The best turkey in the world is not as good as an average roast chicken.
— Stuffing should not actually be stuffed inside the bird for several reasons but mostly: Ew

Thank you @heykellyjensen.bsky.social for the opportunity for @padmatv.bsky.social & myself to share what we learned working for Freedom to Read in Rhode Island. Our hope is to make things a little easier for the folks running the next leg of the race!
Three states have anti-book ban bills on deck coming into 2026. Here's what those bills look like, how to get involved, and what the advocates behind the recently-passed freedom to read bill in Rhode Island learned through the process.

Our middle school just presented us with an IEP with one goal for our kid: learning to raise her hand.
