I miss that here-it’s still a million times better than what Xitter became.
#CleartheAir #Ohedchat and #TheBookChat were the bomb.
Reading Martyr by Kaveh Akbar has made me miss my #TheBookChat family @lyricalswordz.bsky.social @joelrgarza.bsky.social
Martyr would have made for a great chat ☺️
And I need to express gratitude for @joelrgarza.bsky.social and @lyricalswordz.bsky.social for leading a discussion of Water & Salt. I vividly remember everything i learned. #THEBOOKCHAT
A4: I have colleagues who are also very close friends. I know I can count on them.
Online communities that "fill my cup": #THEBOOKCHAT, #DisruptTexts, @sheathescholar.bsky.social & Jess Lifshitz's Rainbow Summer, #TeachLivingPoets, and Lorena & Roberto German's Multicultural Classroom #theedcollab
A4 - A few friends at work help keep me centered in the day-to-day.
I’m hopeful that this will be a space where I can reconnect w/folx I met via educhats like #ClearTheAir & #TheBookChat. Shoutouts to @valeriabrownedu.bsky.social @joelrgarza.bsky.social & @lyricalswordz.bsky.social! #TheEdCollab
Just here to say hey to #DisruptTexts #CleartheAir #TeachLivingPoets & #THEBOOKCHAT. It’s good to be reunited or to meet you if you’re new to me!
Things I adore:
1. Flint, MI.
2. Literacy edu.
3. Disrupting white supremacy
4. Survivor
5. Tacos
Free Palestine! Free Congo! Free Sudan! Free Haiti!
Puhleease tell me that y’all are rebuilding #TheBookChat or something equally rad! @joelrgarza.bsky.social
I’d love to do #theBookChat again, but I imagine @joelrgarza.bsky.social and @lyricalswordz.bsky.social may be too sick at heart to have another go at it.
In 2020 #THEBOOKCHAT & #TeachLivingPoets led a chat on Lena Khalaf Tuffaha’s collection Water & Salt
For those seeking a voice telling a story grounded in Palestine, you'll find a brave & complex personal & political guide in LKT's poems

Excited for this NCTE presentation I’ve been invited to: me, my #TeachLivingPoets friend Melissa Alter Smith, & my brother in #THEBOOKCHAT Scott Bayer, all celebrating the certified genius of Hanif Abdurraqib
🤠📝🫶🏽
I heard Dr. @ClintSmithIII answer some questions I’ll be able to take back to my students as we dive into ‘Above Ground.’ Thank you @JoelRGarza and @Lyricalswordz. You’re both so gracious and handsome and lovely!
My Twitter friends are beautiful. 💛

Reading Hell of a Book by @JasonMott for #THEBOOKCHAT and this line really hurt my feelings 😩😅
Thankful to @AnjiWillNBCT and the fellas at #THEBOOKCHAT (@JoelRGarza + @Lyricalswordz) for this beautiful rumination on life from THE Ross Gay 💛 I’m excited!
