“We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say, ‘It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.’ Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.” - Mister Rogers 💛 The human world, it’s a mess ❤️‍🩹💚🌎

🧵 The dog days of summer may be unavoidable. Dog books? For some readers, they're getting harder to find. Turns out the book banners who told you their only concern was "pornography" are also trying to restrict many students' right to read about... dogs.

"What did PBS shows teach you?" Mister Rogers taught us feelings are mentionable and manageable. Reading Rainbow taught us discovering books is joy. Sesame Street taught us learning through the kindness of community by way of our friends. Bill Nye taught us to observe wonder through science.
