Updated display name for spooky season! Also here have my favorite villain look. She’s about to go on a mission to @geekgirlcon.bsky.social and get her butt kicked by the sunshiniest Padawan ever.

A Sith woman in red and burgundy leans casually against a wooden pillar. Her drawn red lightsabers and her controlled stare suggest maybe you should not engage today.

#LatinaEqualPayDay isn’t just a reminder of today’s wage gap—it’s a warning for the future. At the current pace, Latinas won’t reach pay equity with White men until 2160 for full-time, year-round workers—and not until 2178 for all Latinas with earnings.

The time for change is now! #EqualPayDay

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

Smiling Mychal with hands raised wears an outer space shirt in a library. It is a still from an episode of Reading Rainbow.

LeVar Burton smiles with hands behind his head as he lies down on a colorful pile of books. ENEMY PIE book rests on his chest.
