If you haven’t already READ THIS BOOK NOW! If you already have, you might want to pick up this 30th anniversary edition with a new foreward by yours truly… #bydhttmwfi
In 1998, Octavia Butler warned that the US would enter into a 30 year period of chaos, starting around 2015, during which America would elect a christofascist president named “Donner” who uses the slogan “make America great again.” And that’s why you read small press books!!

I just received a package with these books from my classroom wishlist. There was nothing to indicate who sent them, so I'll express my deep gratitude in the hopes that they see it! This means so much to me! To whoever sent these, thank you!

We should never lose sight of the fact that high school is hard. It is one of the hardest things many of us ever have to do. 7-8 hours of required focus, all of our movements (eating, going to bathroom etc) policed at all times, constant work we may or may not have interest in.
In college, I took 2-3 classes a day. Why do we assume high school students need 8 hours of classes each day?

#TheSealeyChallenge Day 31: Native Guard by Natasha Trethewey Because I was pressed for time, I needed to find something that would be short, brilliant, and riveting. This collection was a good way to end @thesealeychallenge.

#TheSealeyChallenge Day 30: The Twenty-Ninth Year by Hala Alyan My ability to keep reading during the first week of school always impresses me. It could just be that poetry is a necessity in life.
