I know it's human nature to be curious, but I can promise there is nothing that woman has to say that is worth giving her enough clicks and views to continue to happily live her best life. Don't fall for the okye doke y'all.🧵 (4/4)

Instead, we're going to turn her nonsense all the way off. Do not subscribe to her tiktok account. Do not subscribe to her substack. If your curiosity won't allow you to stay off her page, then watch the stitches and duets from other creators. But do NOT go to her page. 🧵 (3/4)

This is clearly a cash grab. The money from her docuseries has dried up and she's banking on the fact that we're going to flock to her page en masse and give her views and a platform. But we're not going to do that. 🧵 (2/4)

Because 2025 wasn't 2025ing enough, Casey Anthony is now on tiktok advocating on behalf of victims of violence. Unfortunately, legitimizing and platforming sociopaths is pretty on brand for America right now. But here's what we're not going to do...🧵 (1/4)

Malala Yousafzai is a powerhouse when it comes to fighting for girls' education. As a teen, she stood up to the Taliban & survived an assassination attempt. Instead of backing down, she became an even louder voice for change. She is the youngest Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. 🩷💪🏾 ♀️ #WomensHistoryMonth

If you don't want to participate in the economic blackout today, that's on you. But chill on the dissertation-length think pieces about how "it won't work." That's not what today is. Pls step aside so the rest of us can do the heavy lifting. I'm not arguing with folks Harriet would have left behind.

This is so sad. Michelle Trachtenberg was such a huge part of my childhood, Harriet the Spy, Dawn in Buffy, and of course, the one and only Georgina Sparks. Thank you for the memories, Michelle. Rest easy. 💔

I agree, it shouldn't have to be this way. But I think that consciously, they'd rather be unemployed than to help take part in what's currently happening. They may be unemployed, but they'll probably sleep better at night. I can't even imagine what that work environment is like.

People will look you dead in the eye and say they don't see the thing that all of us see when looking at the faces of all the anchors that have "exited" NBC this week. You are not crazy. You are not overreacting. Exactly what you think is happening, is happening.

I agree but she likely isn't legally able to do so. If that was me, I would make an effort to make as many mistakes as humanly possible and force them to fire me. I would literally be sitting there talking straight gibberish for my 60 minute segments until they carried me out.

I'm from Philly and even I didn't know this friend! I'm shocked. I don't recall seeing any historical markers about Cheney. I'm learning too 🩷

I had the same problem. Re-reading one of my favorite series is what's getting me out of the slump. Hugs friend 🩷

We just published a Graphic Novel about Robert Smalls! “Captain Robert Smalls: The Titan" (Abridged) by DaShan Thomas🚢. Great for older kids, teen & adult readers Unabridged version: “Captain Robert Smalls: The Greatest Civil War Hero” #edusky #booksky #blackbooksky #blacksky

A description of “Captain Robert Smalls: The Titan" by DaShan Thomas (Abridged) And “Captain Robert Smalls: The Greatest Civil War Hero” (Unabridged) by DaShan Thomas. An artistic depiction of Robert Smalls is on the left, and on the right are the words: "These Graphic Novels depict the true story of the life of Captain Robert Smalls. Robert Smalls, born and raised as an enslaved person, commandeered the steamer ship "Planter" with his crew and all of their families. They sailed to freedom, and then won several pivotal battles (both in the US Army and Navy) in the Civil War, which in turn won the freedom of all enslaved people in the United States. This is a great story of Black History and American History." Behind Robert Smalls and the words next to him are exciting explosions.

The book covers of “Captain Robert Smalls: The Titan" by DaShan Thomas 🚢 (Abridged) And “Captain Robert Smalls: The Greatest Civil War Hero” (Unabridged) by DaShan Thomas. Words next to the book covers say " This Graphic Novel depicts the true story of the life of Captain Robert Smalls"

Depiction of a poster that reads "Learn to Love to Learn:, and includes a visual representation of a young Robert Smalls on his way to Charleston. The image is a representation also of resources and Information for Schools About Captain Robert Smalls and the books “Captain Robert Smalls: The Titan; Book One of The Titan Abridged Series” by DaShan Thomas and “Captain Robert Smalls: The Greatest Civil War Hero; Book One of The Titan Unabridged Series” by DaShan Thomas. Words next to the poster say "Ideal for every curriculum or library"

Just finished my 8th book of the year. Definitely behind my usual pace. By February, I'm normally pushing 20-25 books. If you're in a reading slump, don't feel bad, it's not you. It's hard to enjoy a good book when the whole country is on fire. Give yourselves some grace. 📖 🩷 #BlackBookSky #BookSky

Book bans impact public libraries & bookstores, but it’s school libraries where they are rampant ❤️‍🩹 Many kids are unable to make it to the public library. They can’t drive, often times the library isn’t in walking distance. It’s not that their grown-ups don’t want them to be library kids. 🧵 1/11

I have two reading moods: 1. I’ll devour anything in sight. 2. None of the 2,000 books on my shelf feel right. And there is no in between. #Booksky

lol, so I see it's not just my kids. They have two completely different appetites when they're at school vs home 🥴

Not me spending the last 30 minutes making lunch for my kids for school tomorrow, and then remembering it's a federal holiday, so they don't have school tomorrow 😬😭🤣
