Just Mercy is one of the most important books I have ever read. Truly an honor to hear Bryan Stevenson speak at #NCTE24 this morning. One of many gems important in this moment:
“We are denying the beauty of justice when we refuse to tell the truth.”

Kate McKinnon bringing the energy, laughs, and dance moves this morning at #NCTE24! (And Antero García was the perfect choice to facilitate)

Today the ELATE Executive Committee noted their dissatisfaction and disappointment that this group is allowed to remain in the exhibit hall. NCTE can and should do better.
Inclusion of this group at #NCTE24 is dangerous for Palestinian presenters and a lot of Black presenters and attendees whose valid criticisms of Israel are labeled hateful.
Yikes. Consider researching and signing. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The National Council for Teachers of English (NCTE) should not platform hateful, anti-Palestinian organizations that target educators!
Note: This petition is being put together by teachers and authors who are participating at the 2024 NCTE convention in Boston. We have tried unsuccessfully to persuade NCTE to revoke their platforming...

It was an honor to hear the history-making Justice Brown-Jackson at #NCTE24 (even if they started well before the longest line I’ve ever seen made it into the room 😡)

There are SO many great sessions tomorrow, but if you have a slot, we would love to see you, talk about centering joy, listen to great music, and draw! #NCTE24

A lot of people have shared this poem over the past week. It’s a sentiment I think about a lot, especially now.
I hope everyone is doing what they need to take care of themselves. One step at a time. One day at a time.

Keynote speakers at #NCTE2023 were a real highlight. So much encouragement to keep fighting ignorance and book bans from Tom Hanks and Angie Thomas

First time hearing Jacqueline Woodson speak in person—at #NCTE23. She is just as warm, brilliant, and amazing as I would have imagined from her writing. #fangirling
