msamandaa.bsky.social @msamandaa.bsky.social · 10/01/2025It really rubs me the wrong way when the news talks about how this isn’t just any neighborhood on fire, it is a “very affluent” neighborhood that has now been decimated by the fire. The fire is a tragedy for anyone, and I’m not sure how it being in affluent neighborhood makes it worse 020 2

msamandaa.bsky.social @msamandaa.bsky.social · 11/12/2024As an AP lit teacher, I spend most my time reading classics preparing for class. I’d love some modern suggestions of books you just couldn’t put down. I need a modern Gatsby style read with vivid descriptions, rich characters development, and deeper thematic meaning. Anyone have suggestions??? 100 1
