So folks have been comparing the weird @GMB morning show interview with the climate activist in the UK with *that* scene from #DontLookUp.
So we at the @MehdiHasanShow put them side by side & the results are.. astounding. Reality mirroring art!

We recognize how important it is that families are heard in the process of making decisions for this unique school year. Based on survey results, #VSB39 will develop a learn from home transition option & will share it with families next week: vsb.bc.ca/News/_layouts/15/c…

"Books where ‘race is a factor’ are almost all inevitably about people of color. To cite the race of characters in those books and no others posits whiteness as ‘normal,’ with every other race seen as a deviation."
Must-read on mentioning race in professional book reviews. 🔥

A provocation. This is a graph of my followers on Instagram this week. Green = follow Red = unfollow. Thursday I talked about reconciliation. Wednesday I talked about anti racism. The irony that my Instagram is about inclusion doesn’t escape me. #inclusionisnotjustforwhitepeople – at Bowen Island, British Columbia

Today, a student returned Pashmina by @nidhiart and said, "This book was so good! It had my culture in it! They ate the same food we eat!" Another reminder of the importance of books where readers can recognize themselves. #mirrorsandwindows

We asked a number of notable children’s and YA authors to write short essays on “writing and reading in the Trump era.” In this first op-ed in the series, @halseanderson discusses anti-racism.
