Ay, the turtles are out:
🐢 Stop to move them only if you can SAFELY PULL ENTIRELY OFF THE ROAD.
🐢 Grasp the shell firmly.
DO NOT fumble the turtle.
🐢 Move the turtle off the road in the direction it was already heading.
🐢 Then go back to minding your own business.

An absolutely life-changing poem about mothers by @adalimon:
ALT (excerpt) ... My mom would tell me to sing songs to her the whole forty-five minute drive to Middle Two Rock Road and forty- five minutes back from physical therapy. She’d say, even my voice sounded unfettered by my spine afterward. So I sang and sang, because I thought she liked it. I never asked her what she gave up to drive me, or how her day was before this chore. Today, at her age, I was driving myself home from yet another spine appointment, singing along to some maudlin but solid song on the radio, and I saw a mom take her raincoat off and give it to her young daughter when a storm took over the afternoon. My god, I thought, my whole life I’ve been under her raincoat thinking it was somehow a marvel that I never got wet. —Ada Limón

Day : 128 : Universities
Brave women in Taliban’s Afghanistan are continuing to protest the ban on girls’ education. Only in Afghanistan are girls not allowed to attend school, this cannot become a norm.

This is it!!!
Educators can take a note from this exchange. This brother is schooling the reporter. We have to reframe failure as learning opportunity. What did we do or not do. We need to help Ss use errors as information and learn to "fail fast". Thanks @selmekki for sharing this.

An estimated 1500 students from Staley High School in Kansas City, Missouri took part in a march today for their schoolmate, Ralph Yarl, the 16-year-old who was shot after ringing the doorbell at the home of 84-year-old Andrew Lester.

As migrant children were exploited for cheap labor in the US, the people who were supposed to protect these kids looked the other way.
Whistleblowers warned the White House for two years, but were dismissed as thousands of children took on dangerous jobs. nytimes.com/2023/04/17/us/po…

When you get off the plane with the legendary Joan Baez you know it’s a movement of the spirit. She stands with us in our struggle in Tennessee and said she’s hopeful to see young voices leading.
“WE SHALL OVERCOME…”
Serendipitous, indeed.

A VERY long shot…but if anyone was on flight BA177 from Heathrow to JFK yesterday (Tues 4 April) at 1.10pm and landing at 3.30pm and found this little fella, there’s a distraught little boy who would love to be reunited with him. Get in touch if you can help. Thanks

JUST NOW: @DanPatrick shuts down Sen. @RolandForTexas, who represents Uvalde, from discussing gun violence during a Senate bill debate.
If Texas Republicans wanted to really "protect children" then they would ban AR-15s, not drag queens. #txlege

This reminds me of Taliban’s ban on girls’ education in Swat valley. After the ban was lifted the school bell became the most beautiful music to my ears. I can feel the pain of 5 Million Afghan girls listening to the ringing bell but unable to go to schools. Taliban must release all education activists and #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

“School bell rings BUT not for GIRLS in secondary schools.
Afghan women and girls are still waiting for access to schools and universities.” -@TOLOnews
