The opportunity of a lifetime to meet @WilliamShatner in Austin last night! It was an inspiration to see his joy in living life. He is having fun! And a special screening of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan! Thanks everyone who made it possible including the @longcenter.

We continue to fight for every student's right to read and against #censorship. WE NEED YOUR HELP. This bill takes any book off the shelf for 30 days after a complaint and criminalizes educators. Please contact these senators and tell them to vote NO on #SB1944 a.s.a.p.
