You have the #fREADom to #readwhatyouwant to #read. #mypoemsarenotpoems That was a #haiku! Go back, #countthesyllables. It's #fivesevenfive. -Stevie #scribesandvibes • ・・・ #vibewise: if #artisactivism... when ye speak on #bannedbooks and the #freedomtoread, be sure to impart fascism and the racist beliefs that proceed. for nothing changes your life greater than the people you meet and #thebooksthatread, they'd rather keep your mind preoccupied on a nine-to-five or sports and entertainment. why you think they force feed the myth of #BLACKPEOPLEDONTREAD?! why is the letter of the law loosely interpreted when the defendants are pigment deficient at arraignments? why's the white male patriarchy in constant fear of the #BLACKLITERATI? @cicelythegreat said #ReadWoke then they enact the stop woke act. @editortracy said #blackoutthebestsellerlist and a 75 year old white male exclaimed "white writers face a form of racism" within an industry where white males comprise 75% controlling majority. if ye #readbetweenthelines, all he did was sound off a dog whistle to take the bestsellers list back; sort of like when the maga hats invoked "take our country back." if ye #listentowhatsnotbeingsaid, their judges throw the book at us but look at us... we developed science and math and put #thewritingonthewall. @onyxeditions and #blackauthorsandillustrators got us in #blackownedbookstores purchasing #booksthatlooklikeus and that loss of #theblackdollar got these white-collar criminals utterly appalled; nevertheless i possess the gall to state "i don't care about your socioeconomic status, pronoun, or #tbrpile. no cap, if you're Black the spirit guides you to #readtheroom and for that i got love for all of y'all." -Stevie #protectblacknerdhood • #thewritingonthewall https://www.instagram.com/p/CfCGVZ2gDYy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is my student. Today, she checked out a book for the first time since Kindergarten. She is in the 9th grade. She lost a book in kindergarten and was told she could not check out a book. When she arrived at middle school, she was told the same thing. She came to me... pic.twitter.com/TGgTclF4Wx
