Reading Rainbow emphasis is encouraging kids to read. The focus is not on teaching them to read. The mission is reading should be fun!

We are all readers, worthy of literacy. LeVar Burton said “but you don’t have to take my word for it” because he wanted us to look to the books. That’s the beauty 💚

Can you do me a favor and send Andrew some good energy? Just knowing he's in people's thoughts will do him a world of good.

SouzaGM @asouzagm.bsky.social · 8d

I need all the good energy today. I will give it back I promise. I’m going to court again and I have yet to find a place. I just need them to grant me time to figure it all out. So much of my life is sideways and I don’t know how to handle it all. So, I need this to go well.

Check out Indya’s post on IG, it is extremely moving and powerful, and about so much more than calling out Ryan Murphy. It is a raw and beautiful reaction to the increasing terror trans people are put through every day in this country under this administration. Everyone should hear it.

One is dressed in white and blue with a blond wig, standing in front of the other one dressed in red and black with blonde hair.

The one in red and black has both hands resting on the shoulder of the other one, looking lovingly at them, while the white and blue is looking back at them lovingly, both hands resting on the hands of the other.
