Being Heumann couldn’t have a better title. @RobbinsLib If we all follow her advice on p.23 to “slow down enough to listen and truly see each other. Ask questions. Connect. Find a way to have fun. Learn,” the world will be a vastly improved place for all. RIP @JudyHeumann

Always use the microphone. I don't care how loud your voice is. It's good accessibility practice - Dr. Martin Garnar, @amherstlibrary at #MSLA2023 YESSSS! I have been saying this for years! And I'm wicked loud!

Sorry, Margaret.

Florida bill would ban young girls from discussing periods in school washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/… Here's Ron DeSantis Universe, with GOP lawmakers nosing into your children's most private matters. Welcome to "free" Florida, right? What a farce.

Florida bill would ban young girls from discussing periods in school

The bill could be amended, Republican state Rep. Stan McClain said, after he acknowledged that it would prohibit talk of menstrual cycles until sixth grade.
