This book had a lot of heart. I thought it might play into the typical “Florida is so wild” trope, but instead, I encountered a compassionate take on family, culture, and identity. 📚💙 #booksky

“When we said safer borders, I thought he was thinking ‘let’s stop the drugs from coming into the country,’” Trump voter Staci White said. “I didn’t know he was going to start raiding places. Now I’m like: ‘Dang, why didn’t I just pick Kamala?’”

This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.

It was a good day to register folks to vote and to remind Floridians that ALL vote by mail requests expired after the last election. Even if you voted by mail a few months ago, you MUST renew your vote by mail request to receive ballots in 2025! #florida #democracy #gotv #dems

It’s just madness that Congress threw an absolute fit about potential security risks for individual citizens on TikTok yet Elon Musk is out here just casually accessing all of our data & monies, so far untouched & unbothered. Wild.

Children see so clearly. My little guy (6.5) saw this blue heron tiptoeing through Biscayne Bay, stopped in his tracks, and whispered, “Mommy, we’re so lucky to see this!” #nature #birds #bluesky

Wow. Bernie just nailed RFK Jr. over his newly-found belief in vaccines RFK founded an organisation called Children’s Health Defence. Today, it is selling onesies for babies with anti-vax messages. One says “Unvaxxed, unafraid”. Another says “No vax. No problem”. RFK should be done. (🎥 CNN)

RFK Jr. today: "I support the polio vaccine.” And I will “do nothing as HHS secretary that makes it difficult or discourages people from taking” the vaccine RFK Jr in 2023: the Polio vaccine “killed many, many more people" than polio ever did He lies to get the job

“Mr. President, do the people she mentioned need not be afraid? If so, just answer her that no one needs to worry and defuse the criticism. You have all the power, not this woman preaching. But you didn’t. You used it to make your followers angry again.” #politics #religion #bishopbudde

Just one week ago, I was visiting the Miccosukee Reservation to tour the Everglades, also known as the River of Grass. (And, yes, there were gators!) Not sure this counts as a #nationalpark visit, but the Miccosukee are certainly the original caretakers of this ecosystem.

Just thinking about ways we can keep equity alive: 1. Rejecting elitism. The best candidate might not be from the most prestigious university. 2. De-emphasizing “fit.” We’re not hiring friends. We’re hiring scholars. What skills/perspectives does this person bring? Add yours! #academicsky

Philosophy of Higher Ed is off to a strong start thanks to @jennifermmorton.bsky.social’s Moving Up Without Losing Your way. In a room full of doctoral students who immigrated to the U.S. or whose parents did, this book resonantes so deeply. Thanks, Jen! #philosophy #highered #teaching
