Truth, honesty, and above all respect for readers are inherent in quality literature for children.
It can empower them, particularly in frightening times, and is the best means for taming Wild Things.

As we all get back into the swing of things, let’s keep remembering to breathe. To take moments to take it all in, the good or bad, & everything in between. Let’s stop rushing around, rushing to judge, rushing the moments. Slow down. Take it in. And breathe! #wildlyauthenticlife

Average list price for a unit of insulin:
Australia: $6.94
UK: $7.52
France: $9.08
Germany: $11
Canada: $12
Japan: $14.40
US: $98.70
Yesterday, a majority of Senate Republicans voted against a cap on insulin prices for millions of Americans.
Remember this in November.

“It is not well to be reticent in describing that past. Our histories tend to discuss American slavery so impartially, that in the end nobody seems to have done wrong and everybody was right. Slavery appears to have been thrust upon unwilling helpless America”
—WEB Du Bois, 1935
Public schools in Texas would describe slavery to second graders as "involuntary relocation" under new social studies standards proposed to the state's education board, according to @TexasTribune. apnews.com/article/texas-edu…

Liz Cheney today:
"Our nation is preserved by those who abide by their oaths to our Constitution, our nation is preserved by those who know the fundamental difference between right and wrong."

An extremist minority is imposing their unpopular views on the rest of America. We need to fight back by strengthening our democracy—including fixing the Electoral College. Five justices who ended the right to abortion were appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote.

My recovery has taught me that it’s not the setback that defines us, but how we respond to it.
It's ok to be angry, sad, and terrified. I know I am. But we will emerge from this stronger and we will fight back harder.

As heartbroken as I am, as pissed off as I am, I refuse to be silent. I refuse to give up. Women across this country are going to rise up like you’ve never seen. If you thought we were a lot before, just wait.
