New Yorkers, the law is clear: if you have an EBT balance, a store that accepts SNAP must allow you to use your card.

It fosters creativity by enabling a reader to become completely immersed in other imaginary worlds and by giving them the ability to experience different perspectives outside of their own. It also acts as a universal space for all to see themselves reflected in characters that they identify with.

As a Texas teacher in 2025, exposing students to stories of folks who made sacrifices that will impact generations of their family feels especially important.

I feel like I’ve been drowning lately; there are fewer and fewer pockets of air.
So when @msespo.bsky.social asked if she could send me this book, I was touched and grateful. Both Christine and Nikki Giovanni are pockets of air. 💛

In the feedback on my most recent grad school assignment, my professor said, “your voice is clear; I hear your heart and passion,” and referred to me as an “emerging doctoral scholar.”
Nobody can tell me anything for the next 7-10 business days.

The first times I read this poem, I paid little attention to the description of Ferguson. The last few years; I’ve been thinking about planting seeds and what grows when you do. Ferguson is a space that cultivates life & growth, & also death + violence.
It’s the juxtaposition, man.
