A white teacher emailed me saying she liked a piece I wrote and the lesson I included and asked if I’d share more w her lessons without offering compensation.
Pls don’t ask teachers of color for free labor. It’s one thing when we offer (which I often do) but asking feels... off.

Do I write her back or just ignore the email?
(also lol if you're gonna parse grammar in a tweet that has "pls" in it, you are definitely missing the point. Yes, I switched some words around at 8AM w/o my glasses on after just waking up. It happens.
