A great 'windows and mirrors' book by @CaelaCarter that shares the experience of a neurodivergent girl who learns that how she thinks is not 'wrong' but different and wonderfully unique. @HarperChildrens #kidlit #WeNeedDiverseBooks bit.ly/READ_IT_NOW

Late-night fans: don't forget tonight's episode of "The Story of Late Night" on CNN at 9. It covers the reign of Carson, w an array of great clips+fantastic interviews. A section abt stand-ups+the terror they felt in their 1st shot w Johnny is truly can't miss.

It was so great to speak to the middle school students at this warm and close community last week! They had such great questions and observations...despite being on Day 14 of their quarantine! So impressed!
Today, #MiddleSchool students had a wonderful opportunity to meet and young adult author, Caela Carter 📕. @CaelaCarter shared about her journey to become an author, read an excerpt from her book, and led students in #writersworkshop activities. 🔗caelacarter.com

My day: @Apple repaired my broken computer. Then @FedEx lost it. And after a day spent talking to multiple people and analyzing a crazy tracking history I’m no closer to finding it. Seems pretty clearly lost or stolen. And neither seem to care.

I mean look at this. Then tell me how it can happen and yet no one can give me the non-recipient address where it was supposedly delivered.

Between tracking, texts and customer service reps @FedEx has now given me 4 different stories. @apple says I’ll hear more...next week? But @fedex wouldn’t even promise I’d hear anything this year.

It’s an #Olympics year again! And an awesome middle schooler gave #Tumbling a fresh new look with this homemade #booktrailer! How cool!
I’m just blown away by my students. They are reading book club books & were given a choice board to show their understanding of the book. One of my students created a book trailer with iMovie on her phone. Simply amazing! @salyardsms #wearesalyards Tumbling by @CaelaCarter

Stacey Abrams is the most prominent example of how important, how crucial the black women of America were in the outcome of this election. Maybe not “never,” but certainly “rarely” in our history have so many owed so much to so few.

Hey @StopandShop, I got a delivery of groceries last night and almost half were missing. I've spent too much time today trying to find an email address to ask you to fix it. This is ridiculous.

I’m behind #KamalaHarrisVP.She was awesome.But I can’t watch a man interrupt a woman & interrupt her & interrupt w/o an emotional reaction.

Interrupting is different for men & women.We are interrupted more often from birth.We get ridiculed if we do.This debate needs a mute button
