In my never-ending quest to hook friends on Twitter, here& #39;s a thread of people I admire, enjoy & learn from #onhere. Follow them if you& #39;re interested in education, abolition, child welfare, racial justice, poetry, humor, &/or interesting conversation. #FollowFriday (1/many)
I made a similar thread in 2018; you might want to follow those folks too. BTW, my faves tend to tweet about their intellectual & professional lives, hobbies, families, music, politics, pop culture, families, joys & sorrows. Twitter can humanize heroes. https://twitter.com/andrewhume/status/1025497383470280704?s=20">https://twitter.com/andrewhum...
