Thank you @15andMahomies, @PatrickMahomes & @LeadtoReadKC for today's @MinskysPizza 🍕for RED/READ Friday! Go @Chiefs! We are excited to READ for 15.
I loved watching the excitement of our @afiakc1 students as they picked out books to take home! Thank you @KSHB41 & @ScrippsHowardFd !
It's a great day when we can give free books to local students! Your donations for our "Give a Child a Book" campaign were huge. Children @afiakc1 picked out books of their very own! #GiveaChildaBook @ScrippsHowardFd @Scholastic
@leahmmcopeland @DeAirraTrent24 @WinnwoodRocks @NKCSchools Woo hoo, @DeAirraTrent24! Congratulations!
Be sure to tune in at 6pm tomorrow for @41actionnews one hour special about implicit bias and hear from some local teachers, including two AFIA teachers. After the 6PM special, stay tuned for this interactive special about hidden bias: facebook.com/kshbtv/photos/… @RAEtheReporter
The state of Missouri’s mass vaccination plan would require someone who lives in my neighborhood on the east side of KC to drive an hour & 15 mins to a church in a town of 9,000 people (95.1% white according to wikipedia) on a weekday between 8:30-5. No issues there, right??

This violence is on Josh Hawley’s shoulders. He chose incitement and grandstanding over this country. He disgraced himself and disregarded our Constitution. He should resign—as should Donald Trump.
Insightful and important tweet by @TamorahLewisMD
After seeing multiple medical professionals down-play the role racism played in the death of #DrSusanMoore, I have been thinking of how to describe the logistics of how racism manifests in medicine. One way is what I will, in this thread, call "cumulative de-prioritization." 1/
We started studying cloth masks in March. Preprint now at medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Take-home: Cloth masks are not an N95, but they work reasonably well for aerosols 1-2 microns and larger, which is the size that we think mostly mediates transmission. See thread. /1
I will never understand why this didn’t happen over the summer. Was the quickest way out the pandemic. Still is.
"If we act today, widespread and frequent rapid antigen testing could allow us to see our loved ones, go back to school and work, and travel — all before Christmas," writes Michael Mina (@michaelmina_lab) ti.me/3kEGOoM
Field experts visited our PK/kinder classes yesterday to share what a meteorologist does. Thanks to Sarah and Brad from @NWSKansasCity for visiting with our students over Zoom! Check out some of the student writing that resulted from this visit.
I think we might become a two dog family.
Eliza's been begging for another dog. I told her she needed to convince me she was serious. So she made a presentation. There were a lot of slides.
@Straittalkinyo @fasterchad Indeed. You know him so well. And by him I mean Jason, not the dog.
Voter registration is happening at @afiakc1 today!
As a reminder, anybody with children (ages 1 - 18) can pick up food boxes today at AFIA. Each box includes ten meals (5 breakfasts and 5 lunches). You can also register to vote from 10am-1pm. Voter registration will happen every Wednesday in July.
Check out this article on #PauliMurray from Toiya, one of @Beloved_US Fellows 👸🏾She connects the dots about the different roles we play in movement work and which names/stories get recorded. #stoperasingBlackwomen #timetoupdateyourcurriculum *everybody Googles Pauli Murray 🧐😳*

Unsure whether Eliza and I are meant to be Scrabble teammates.
Thank you.
