"Bullying is one of those things I think almost all of us can agree needs to stop, but for some reason it won’t. OBaaT is something every school needs - every person needs. This is definitely a book I will be keeping on my shelf for my nieces / nephews / littles of my own".
“Sad would come later, right after angry. But for now I was happy. I’d stayed true. That’s who I am. The people who love me will be proud. The rest - I won’t care.”

One Bully at a Time by Alice Vachss.
Ever since Rubiales' nationally televised sexual assault, women footballers have been teaching the world how to fight back.
"One of the best books on bullying I have ever read. Takes you behind the scenes so you can see all the indirect ways bullying can erode self confidence at a critical time in the life of a young child."

Even the music that is most quintessentially ours has been at risk of appropriation. Willie Mae Thornton, delivered. Elvis, not so much.
"One of my favourite books in a long time. I just love this book so much."

Of course, Billie Jean King refused to be blackmailed and extorted. And of course, she supports transgender athletes. Her defining strength is refusing to be bullied or to be a bystander to bullying.

"OBaaT is not a mysterious acronym, it's explained in the first 5 pages, so have no fear.
Illuminating in many ways and something the young adults (and the adults who love them) should read."

Dawn Hochsprung, Mary Sherlach, Vicki Soto, Lauren Rousseau, Rachel D'Avino, and Anne Marie Murphy are regrettably only a few of the teachers who have died shielding children from a school shooter. Each of them ... her own reason to honor Women’s History.
What makes someone a hero is never giving up.
What makes the reaction to the SAVE America Act notable is how personal it feels. Millions of women suddenly have seen themselves in a policy. And when a group of people can picture their own voting rights being affected, they can be moved to act.
The latest from @errinhaines.bsky.social:
Red danger,
black terror,
yellow caution,
blue sadness ...
what are the colors of kindness and courage?
