Dolly Parton has never been in a cage fight, but she *has* gifted over 200 million books to children through her Imagination Library. In a world full of Zuckerbergs and Musks, be a Dolly.

Maybe if the New York Public Library tells the mayor they have rats, he'll fund them. 🤔

Okay whoever is on @WoolfEcologies: you have succeeded in giving me serious FOMO in all of the twitter goodness in the lead up, during, and aftermath of the conference. Like whoa. THE YEARNING.

I was so proud and happy when Sonita Sarker and @JenniferNesbit8 proposed this cluster on "The Whiteness Problem" for @MModernity @msatweet & I'm glad that now you can read it for yourself. Addressing racism in our field is not a one-and-done, and this cluster is a contribution.

Jonathan Gibbs's son, Thomas Van Renssaler Gibbs, is a founder of #FAMU which, we can only imagine, will be directly hit by Florida's HB999 and WOKE acts. He served in the Florida legislature; like his father, he advocated for Black educational justice. famu.edu/about-famu/history/…

😂 Yes! I’m a big quitter. I quit reading books I don’t like, quit doing things that make me unhappy…I left a tedious ceremony early just yesterday. Quit. Quit all the things that crush your soul. Quit relationships that deplete you. Quit. Life’s short, friends.
Emotionally healthy people are quitters. They quit things all the time. They keep moving, trying, and doing until they find things they don’t want to quit. Quitting comes from self awareness.
