Gus Walz’s reaction last night doesn’t need justification. It doesn’t matter if he’s neurodivergent.
Men can cry. Men can show emotion.
His reaction to his father’s speech was absolutely beautiful. 💙

Great @washingtonpost interview by Deborah Taylor (@shackle52) with @JasonReynolds83 on his new picture book, “There Was a Party for Langston.”
A #library is a “place for movement, for communication and camaraderie, for fun and laughter.” -Jason Reynolds

As strange as it feels to post about something as simple as books in these chaotic and violent times, I truly believe that stories are where we access each other’s humanity in times of darkness—to censor them is to lose more than everything: it’s to lose ourselves, which is to say, one another.
Stunned that @Scholastic Book Fairs is self-censoring the books in its “Share Every Story, Celebrate Every Voice,” which are predominantly by queer, disabled, & Black & brown authors. This is not sharing our stories--it's treating them as separate but equal.

Settle in for more absurdity coming out of @kellerisd: Outrageous complaints received about books on our library preview purchase list. These titles have all been scratched from purchase for further review using our district bookbanning rubric. Here are the laughable complaints/1

Sad to miss this — @adcfanboy is reliably a must read!
