They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

When you let your kids work David Bowie into the next year's yearbook and all of a sudden you've got the best of nerds vibing in your classroom, and the poor kiddos who are about to get dragged down the rabbit hole by their friends! #bowie #yearbookadvisor #teacherlife

I really like this concept! It's hard for me as an audhd individual who is so focused on 5 million steps ahead, but I'm going to try sticking to this!
One of the best pieces of advice I received when I started a law firm in 2021 was to focus on “the shark closest to the boat.” When you feel overwhelmed, step back and focus on the threats that pose the most immediate risk. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

I am sitting here, crying, my heart breaking into pieces over an Oscar Speech given in broken English, with a message of hope to the people in a country I have never been to, but still feel homesick for. #oscars

Me: damages myself by accident this week, so decides to stay home Saturday to relax and heal.
Body: Here’s the crud you've been on the edge of for 3 weeks! Have fun not breathing out of your nose!

Just a heads up that the DOGE caucus has put up a tip line. It would be real terrible if what happened to the ICE tipline happened to this...

I spent the weekend chaperoning a theater field trip and I'm pretty sure theater kids are going to save the world. Creativity, love, supporting kids from different troupes and schools, learning and helping each other... #thekidsarealright

A Black spy saved George Washington’s life, helped win the Revolutionary War, and still had to buy his freedom.
If America really loved Black history, James Armistead Lafayette would have his own blockbuster spy movie by now. Instead, we get another reboot of Batman.

Your #cutemoment of the day- my mom is Persian, been a citizen for over 30 years, but there's still some sayings and idioms she mixes up just a tad- last night she was trying to explain someone roasting someone and instead told me someone fried someone 😆 I thought it was adorable!

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Her classification efforts sought to highlight and celebrate the roles of Black people in all subject areas (like art, education, history, medicine, music & literature).
She is a librarian, she is a pioneer. She had an extraordinary 43-year library career.
