The cover for Ramadan For Everyone: A Muslim Community Story by Aya Khalil, Illustrated by Rashin Kheiriyeh which features a cartoon illustration of two brown-skinned figures. One is taller with a dark blue polka-dotted headscaft carrying a lantern. The other is shorter with a red and white striped headscarf with a black braid poking out the back. The shorter figure carries a bowl full of stars on their head and holds the hand of the taller figure. A black cat reaches for for one of the stars that's scattered around the cover. Yellow clouds are in the top corners and white, wavey lines are beneath the figures' feet. Both figures are smiling.
Happy publication day to RAMADAN FOR EVERYONE: A MUSLIM COMMUNITY STORY by @ayakhalilauthor.bsky.social! #TeamTriada #BookSky

My reported story about the mental health impacts of book bans has been archived since Verywell Mind reneged on their 2020 Anti-Racism Pledge, but insights from @ayakhalilauthor.bsky.social and @becalzada.bsky.social @freadomfighters.bsky.social still remain valid! 📚 web.archive.org/web/20231218...

Educators, you have to resist AI. That includes LLMs for "research" as well as AI classroom assistants. Advocate for admin to spend that money on your classrooms, not by handing it over to some weird tech bro who wants to buy another yacht.
