Works for @IREXintl on @Beyond_Access project. Libraries, literacies, and community engagement take up 90% of my mental energy.

I’m always struck by how “nice” & “kind” are commonly conflated when they are very different.
Niceness is related to being agreeable, while kindness has to do with character—you can be “nice” without being kind.
It’s kindness that’s a fruit of the Spirit and a quality of love.

"Make a place to sit down.
Sit down. Be quiet.
You must depend upon
affection, reading, knowledge,
skill — more of each
than you have — inspiration,
work, growing older, patience,
for patience joins time
to eternity."

This piece is so, so good! You should take a listen.
Latest episode of @NPRItsBeenAMin is everything that Esquire piece is not. We go to East Oakland ahead of the anniversary of #Parkland, to talk about the everyday gun violence that plagues black and brown kids throughout the country.

Gmorning from the alto section
never front and center
but taking on the hardest, weirdest notes with a smile
filling out the chord
so you can sing the melody
take a solo, love

Don’t tell women how beautiful we are all the time.
Tell us that we are
Wise
Holy
Strong
Brave
Unique
Kind
Smart
Witty
Persistent
Honest
Faithful
And maybe our culture might begin to look a little different.
Absolutely today's mood.
My feeds are full of weary women with heavy hearts, but we also form a mighty chorus that sings to one another: You are heard. You are believed. You are the beloved.
I am unfuckwithable today. Who’s with me? ✊🏻(the strength and defiance of women is always enough to cover those who are tender and needing care...we take turns) #hedgeofprotection #Wolfpack
Me today....
I might have a problem...

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble

“[W]e sell ourselves short if we aim for anything less than providing universal access to high speed, affordable broadband,” Whitney Kimball Coe says. “To set the bar lower keeps rural America on the wrong side of the digital divide.”

Back in the day we used to encourage #libraries to keep their wifi turned on 24-7 so that anyone could access it in the parking lot. Back then that seemed crazy. Rural communities rely on it now. #librariesmatter kcur.org/post/what-netflix-a…
