Me carrying the fall issue of @RethinkSchools with me for the foreseeable future— Me, to anyone in my vicinity: “OMG, have you seen this?! Pages 1-37 and 39-58 are stellar, but for some reason I’m drawn to page 38?!” rethinkingschools.org/articles/teach… #TeachTruth

Taking my Vanessa-sized and shaped presence on over to Bluesky ✨ v.williams@bsky.social

every day is the process of seeing something that really unravels my brain & then taking time to get my brain back to a useful place, and I gotta say, took a bit longer to do the latter today, when one of the latest sentences is “we used the wrong bombs on that refugee camp”

My nigga, how do you find joy?

The Tampa airport is not beating the exhibiting Aggressively Florida Behavior allegations, I fear 🤣 📸: the homie

Brought this Black nutcracker to continue my tradition of bringing a Black ornament for the family tree (last year was Santa 💅🏾). Auntie started calling him Soulja Boy and yes of course we cranked dat in recognition 🤣

I don’t advocate for an end to oppression bc of some far-off possibility tht my kids will ask me one day “what did you do?” I do it for my own soul that shakes me awake every day demanding a response to my own beating heart’s query: what, in the end, is the purpose of this heart?

📣 We are excited to announce that our friends at the @answercoalition have joined the March on Washington for Gaza as a national partner. Don’t forget to mark your calendars for Jan 13th! More details to come for buses from your cities...

I learned this in a few minutes, but rumor has it there’s going to be a request for the Tamia line dance so just know I’m spending my waking hours today getting ready to nail that one tomorrow lolol

It came a bit early this year, but the “go ‘head and show everybody that lil dance” *request did not disappoint! 🤣🤣🤣 *demand

The ✨best✨ things about this: 1. Speaking about their child pre-revelation in gender neutral language. 2. Not pressuring their child to ‘come out’, yet preparing for in case they do. 3. Accepting new info AND then not misgendering their child. 4. Presence. Presence. Presence.

I’m always sooo deeply moved by kindness. I don’t forget it. it stays with me & I often come back to it.

Thank you to everyone who supported @RethinkSchools this year. I'm honored to do this work and look forward to all that's to come in 2024 ✊🏽 Please support our continued efforts to amplify stories of hope, justice, & radical possibility in the classroom: classy.org/give/538946/#!…
