How to Read Now by Elaine Castillo
Has a book ever changed your life? As in, the person you are after you read it is now different from the person you were before? Doesn't matter what age you were, what genre, just that this book sent you down a different course altogether? (I can personally think of three books that did this to me.)

TikTok has become so insufferable. Full of misdirected frustration and outright lies and misinformation. I never thought I’d say it but I think I’m glad they’re taking the app away from Americans because whew… we don’t need it

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Remember those who have been killed, injured, abused, tortured for being who they are.

Remember those who have taken their own lives because they could not live in a world where they could not be themselves.

Remember them. And make the world remember them.

There are 40 people currently on the federal death row, and a new Trump administration certainly will try to carry out executions.

Biden must consider that and accept that he would be, indirectly, allowing Trump to act if he does not.

Biden must clear death row. www.lawdork.com/p/joe-biden-...
Joe Biden has a moral, ethical responsibility to clear the federal death row
The Biden administration must do all it can to unwind the federal death penalty. Also: News on Texas's death penalty. And, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.

Omg omg it’s been 1 year since Outdrawn by Deanna Grey was released. This is one of my fav romances. It’s sapphic, rivals to lovers, hilarious banter, with a hottie on a motorcycle.. need I say more? #booksky #blackbooksky #sapphicbooks

I was a reading tutor at an elementary school doing small group support for students who were behind where they needed to be. I noticed all the students I was working with were disproportionately Black. It enraged me so I figured I needed to do something & that something was become a teacher
I’m reading up on teacher recruitment, but I don’t see clear patterns about what first brought people into teaching.

For me, it felt familiar - I thought I’d like it (especially reading) & I wasn’t sure about what career I wanted. I gave it a go to see.

How about other teachers, past & present?
