At a time when so many feel discouraged, I’m doubling down on something simple and powerful: helping families share stories and build trust through reading together. You can too. At @BookSpringATX, we’re making sure children in Texas have books at home. bookspring.org

#Texas government wants mandatory reading lists for K-12. This does not bode well for intrinsic motivation to #read, which improves lifelong #reading habits: ksat.com/news/local/202…

This is why I can't leave Twitter yet.

Ah #Twitter I don't know what to do about you. I remember #SXSW when you blasted out, so sassy, so open...so much hope and excitement, and interesting connections. Looking back at my feed is like going back in time. Now, so much meanness and lies. Is it the platform or is it us?

@thetexaserin @cbsaustin So sad, these beautiful giants, to hear their limbs crack and the shattering of ice...

I’ve never seen anything quite like this split tree in Round Rock today. Thanks to Nancy Schmidt for sharing with @cbsaustin, glad she’s ok. #ATXWX
