And remember, the Christian Right only took up abortion as a topic after they lost school segregation for good when the IRS went after Bob Jones’ U status, & needed a new issue to rally the troops. 1/x all our issues are intertwined. 🧵

The United States has always been a democracy for some and a brutal authoritarian regime for others, and the effort to expand it to democracy for all has led to a 70+ year backlash culminating in SCOTUS claiming that kings are totes cool and also judges are the ones to coronate them

anyone need a timeline cleanse?

Self-promotion incoming! This client testimonial means so much to me because it speaks to my approach as well as the results—process, not just product. Thank you, Ashley Cheyemi McNeil, for letting me be a small part of the inspiring work you do at Full Spectrum Features.

After months of public outcry and pressure from the City Council, New York City’s libraries are poised to have their budgets fully restored so that branches may resume seven-day-a-week service, including Sundays. gothamist.com/news/nyc-lib...

I went to the this evaluation discussion—it was really astonishing to hear all the good news, not just in terms of integration but also academic outcomes and student/familiy stress levels. EVERY district should follow suit. Proud to be on this district's Community Education Council 💛

Actual good news! "Middle schools in a section of northwest Brooklyn that stretches from Sunset Park to Cobble Hill went from being the second most socioeconomically segregated to 19th out of the city’s 32 local districts. Teachers and students say friendships are emerging across income lines."

What Happened When Brooklyn Tried to Integrate Its Middle Schoolswww.nytimes.com A new report found that many schools enrolled more racially and socioeconomically diverse groups of students without sparking a major exodus of families from public schools.

yesssss I love sharing in celebrations!! seriously the best part of this work 📚

Update on this - I sent the book proposal out! 😱 So many shouts to @katinalynn.bsky.social for her help workshopping my work through the process. It really helped take an idea and a frustration and turn it into something that felt fleshed out and fulfilling to think about.

Tfw you finish your book proposal course with @katinalynn.bsky.social. Highly recommend working with her! Gave me a real jumpstart and now I’m excited to get this thing done.

I haaaate asking for help, especially when I can't offer any compensation for someone's work—and yet time and time again I'm reminded that asking for help is part of how we form deeper ties, that letting people support us is sometimes a gift, that interconnectedness is the whole point. 💛

(Also, one of the reasons we set it up this was is so that the editing work is more likely to be eligible for institutional professional development support—in other words, no out-of-pocket cost. If your institution has funds available for you, make sure you use them!!)

This was SUCH a fun way to work! If you're working on a book proposal, manuscript, or grant, consider working with me through one of these highly personalized packages: katinarogers.com/courses (and Brandon's proposal is EXCELLENT, no surprise there!)
