New Yorkers, the law is clear: if you have an EBT balance, a store that accepts SNAP must allow you to use your card. Follow these instructions and file a complaint with my office if you are denied: ag.ny.gov/consumer-complaint
It fosters creativity by enabling a reader to become completely immersed in other imaginary worlds and by giving them the ability to experience different perspectives outside of their own. It also acts as a universal space for all to see themselves reflected in characters that they identify with.

Grateful to @poetrichardblanco.bsky.social for “My Father in English.” As a Texas teacher in 2025, exposing students to stories of folks who made sacrifices that will impact generations of their family feels especially important. (Shared with permission from the student)
I feel like I’ve been drowning lately; there are fewer and fewer pockets of air. So when @msespo.bsky.social asked if she could send me this book, I was touched and grateful. Both Christine and Nikki Giovanni are pockets of air. 💛

In the feedback on my most recent grad school assignment, my professor said, “your voice is clear; I hear your heart and passion,” and referred to me as an “emerging doctoral scholar.” Nobody can tell me anything for the next 7-10 business days. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The first times I read this poem, I paid little attention to the description of Ferguson. The last few years; I’ve been thinking about planting seeds and what grows when you do. Ferguson is a space that cultivates life & growth, & also death + violence. It’s the juxtaposition, man. #PoemADayJuly
When I teach this poem, it’s always really visceral, the juxtaposition between innocence, rural ease, and carefree life and death and destruction. My students talk about how they feel like they’re always once second away from the end of their childhood. #PoemADayJuly
Marcus Luther@marcusluther.bsky.social · last yr."we did our homework in Ferguson, thinking life was fair." Our #PoemADayJuly poem for today is drenched in history but also urgent relevance in this moment: "To Jamyla Bolden of Ferguson, Missouri" by Naomi Shihab Nye Let's discuss. @heymrsbond.com @thevogelman.bsky.social
