We so rarely see literary scholarship that brings in scholars of education, including Applebee and Rosenblatt, as this piece does. This article is really interesting to me--still thinking it through. There's a lot going on. Somehow, it still leads with Holden Caufield. 😜😭
I have never been great at being crafty or creating an atmosphere as a host but suddenly my son (almost 8) wants to have a birthday party (1st time he has wanted one) with a space theme and I'm obsessed with plates that look like planets and astronaut balloons.
Is there an #NCTE25 app?!
Bereavement leave acknowledges someone’s loss of a baby. When only sick leave is accessible, we ignore the grief people experience. Glad to see some local change.
We have to do a better job supporting teachers at work following a miscarriage. For more on the layered pressures they face, see this article in AERA Open, "The Influence of Policies and Professional Expectations on Teachers' Leave Decisions and Well-Being ..."

Despite the limitations of the term 'bereavement leave', I'm so pleased the #EmploymentRightsAct at the very end of 2025 means #pregnancy ending before 24-week viability for any reason now entitles people to leave from work. #pregnancyloss #miscarriage #abortion #TOPFA #TFMR

Hey! Scholars! If you're using someone's work in your class, sometimes it's nice to email them and tell them, because then they might feel good about their research instead of entirely crushed by the academic humanities' ongoing descent into the grave
There is a significant gap between the needs of those who experience the loss of a pregnancy and the supports available in workplaces
