At SXSW EDU, Texas educators weigh voucher rollout amid public school strain Over 19,000 families in the San Antonio area filed an application, including around 4,100 families from Northside ISD, which serves around 97,000 students.

Public schools are the center of our communities. They build the habits of democracy and bring kids together across differences. No amount of billionaire-backed vouchers will change this: the promise of America starts in public schools. @texasaft.org www.expressnews.com/news/educati...

Life, death & the beautiful space in between. "Hope Springs Eternal" & "Beginning’s End,” two sides of the same coin. These pieces look at the cycles of growth and decay, patterns that are as organic as a bird's nest & as deeply human as our own rhythms.

A beautifully kept copy of the 1920-ish Grosset & Dunlap edition of "The Haunted Bookshop" by Christopher Morley. The jacket is freshly covered in a protective sleeve, and the book came professionally wrapped in brown paper and bubble wrap, with a free (and very striking) bookmark. This was a very well packaged book!

Just want to give a shout out to our neighbors Source Bookstore in Davenport, Iowa, who sent this surprise package to us.

This is so thoughtful! I love that my colleagues are so kind πŸ“šβ€οΈ

I’ve started saying β€œit’s hard to be a cat in the city” and I’m worried I might accidentally say it to a human person at some point if I’m not careful

I lived for 50 years before being diagnosed with ADHD. I was repeatedly diagnosed with depression and given antidepressants which did absolutely nothing for me. It never occurred to anyone that maybe living with undiagnosed, untreated ADHD is a pretty damned depressing way to go through life.

It makes my heart hurt. I’m from the Midwest; he’s the real deal and reminds me so much of my dad and many others I grew up looking up to. We’re Midwest Nice for a reason. I hate what this has done to him.

Such a kind, decent man. He looks so very tired. His state has been under siege from the regime for months. He does not deserve this. His "crime"? Treating his constituents like worthwhile human beings and hoping to spread that sentiment nationwide.
