As the school year starts, let’s remember that kids are NOT entering school equally prepared. A lack of access to quality child care, preschool and a host of other factors (read: inequality) mean many kids will enter kindergarten already behind. 1/ omny.fm/shows/kqed-seg…

I got IDd last night, but as I was rummaging around in my purse for my ID, the dude saw my checkbook and said "nevermind" 😭😒🤣 FIRST OF ALL

@emmaruthless 🤢

fuuuuuuuuck this

@emmaruthless Same!

feel like I should be able to put on my resume that nearly every news org I've worked at has forgotten to remove me as a social media admin when I left and I have never once abused it

@samsanders Wow. So sorry to hear this.

Some news

Some personal news: I am stepping in as NPR’s new Immigration Correspondent. Also: NPR is hiring a second immigration correspondent to join our team. Link to that application below.

@samsanders Same.

This makes me sad

@theferocity I want to unknow this.

The flooding in NYC got me curious about the rats. These photos are my real-time reaction to my friends explaining that rats are natural swimmers.

@bigbaby1301 @rgay Love this!

@rgay I have two nieces, 8 and 11 years old. The older one gave out gift coupons she made, redeemable for fashion advice. She slays. I adore them and love being an auntie.

@idamoj @sfstandard Wishing you a restful break Ida! I've appreciated your reporting the fast few years.

today is my last day at @sfstandard. it's an extraordinary newsroom filled with colleagues i'll miss dearly and whose reporting i'll be cheering on

There are lots of things parents can do to prepare their children for kindergarten, even if child care and preschool are not viable options. This guide can connect you to school readiness resources. @pemberly kqed.org/news/11959904/…

America’s child care shortage makes the first few years even trickier for parents to navigate. Finding child care could get even harder when stabilization funding from the federal American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) ends Sept. 30. kqed.org/news/11959904/…

@rgay I feel you. Have you tried ThredUp and Poshmark? I was surprised at how much came up when I searched "sequin" and "silver." Not sure what the thrift scene is where you live, but I scored a fantastic sequin top for $10 at a used clothing store.

@bmluse Wait. How late did Sunday go? I stayed out til 9 on a Sunday recently and was completely dead on Monday. More tired than I’ve been in years. But maybe that’s a 45 year old, thing not a 35 year old thing.

yesterday i did something wild for a 35 year old and had two friend plans on a SUNDAY (after having date day on Sat!) including a morning physical activity and later DINNER OUT in a neighborhood that is a 40 min drive from me and it was so refreshing

@daisynguyen @CAPsonoma @CaliforniaDDS I couldn’t fit this into the radio story, but it’s worth noting that in CA there’s no statewide requirement to track kindergarten readiness. Of the places that do track, a variety of assessment methodologies are used. cc @First5Center 5/5 library.first5center.org/wp-content/upl…

@daisynguyen @CAPsonoma A resource many parents aren’t aware of is @CaliforniaDDS's Early Start and its Regional Centers. They offer assessments & services for kids who may be at risk of developmental delays or disabilities. Services are free/low cost for most: 4/ dds.ca.gov/rc/

@jackcorrbit Well-deserved! 👏

@lmillernpr I listen to all of my podcasts when I'm either sewing, cleaning or driving.

If you listen to Radiolab, when do you tend to listen to it? Not day of the week, but what are you doing. Commuting. Dishes. Running. Pipetting. Trying to fall asleep. Etc. Tryna see sumpin
