However, I almost exclusively read Black authors and largely steer away from white authors as a whole at this point. So idk.

MORE IMPORTANTLY — F. Scott Fitzgerald was racist and that doesn’t sit well in my spirit.

With that being said — The Great Mann which is a reimagined Black Great Gatsby is 🔥

So I bought a few copies of this book for my school. My principal read and loved it. He then asked if I could possibly arrange an author visit. I had to explain that she's a bit out of our budget lol.
Research project time.

God this is a good children’s book. Great message and absolutely gorgeous artwork

Rangappa: Do you believe that Ghislaine Maxwell is guilty?

Ferguson: Yes

Rangappa: She denied her guilt the interview.

Ferguson: Most criminals lie, newsflash. That's, like, not shocking.

Rangappa: Then why on Earth would you believe anything she said?

What has to happen before the GOP impeach and remove this lunatic? Does he have to have a press conference in the nude? Or nude on the roof of the White House? How much more humiliation is USA going to endure? Don’t forget he has nuclear codes.

Black people are not a societal problem. Racism against Black people is.

Integrating STEM doesn’t mean you need expensive kits or extra class periods. It can start small, by using everyday items and creating quick STEM challenges that develop future-ready skills. 💫

@rdene915.bsky.social explains how.

“Small children from poor or middle-class families who watch ‘Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

Keeping up with the cutting edge of CSS, I often forget that a lot of people don't know (or remember about) some of the more useful things that I take for granted at this point.

Just made a Short on `object-fit` and `aspect-ratio`, and it's doing a lot better than expected 😅
