Hello 🔵 It’s official. Signed at 2:55 PM. It was even on TV. Mine really turned blue. Don't forget that tomorrow starts the new Facebook rule (aka... new name, META) where they can use your photos. Don't forget the deadline is today!!!
I do not authorize META, Facebook or any entity associated with Facebook to use my photos, information, messages or posts, past or future.
With this statement, I notify Facebook that
it is strictly prohibited to disclose, copy, distribute or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents. Violation of privacy may be punishable by law.
Here's how to do If you are thinking of getting off FB because of the volume of sales ads and trash stuff. So hold your finger anywhere in this post and click ′copy’. Go to your page where it says ‘What's on your mind?’ Tap your finger anywhere in the blank field. Click paste. This upgrades the system.
Hello new and old friends!
IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!! 👍👊🙏
Hold your finger anywhere in this message and “copy” will appear. Click “copy”. Then go to your page, create a new post and place your finger anywhere in the empty field. “Paste” will appear and click Paste.
This will bypass the system….
He who does nothing consents.

"When you don't read for pleasure, it's like not exercising."

"That any child, let alone the majority of children, goes to school without being taught to read is deeply concerning — and also completely preventable."

Literacy is one of the major civil rights issues of our time. Our children’s future—and our nation’s democracy—depends on us addressing this crisis now.

"Reading effectively is hard nowadays.

We found ourselves struggling to focus on a subject or a book that we read. Social media scrolling has made us lack focus. We are not losing our focus; we are just not practicing our focus.

To sum it up:
Find a topic that you really want, and start small.

Read it consistently.

Practice your focus by staring at a wall or a black dot on a wall.

Doing something as simple as reading five minutes per day can help us gain focus and read more effectively."

I see that a lot of people, especially in my college, do not enjoy reading.

Sharing an important message:

"Knowledge is important. It’s a significant predictor of success. But all the things that go into reading are important. We must ensure we’re spending enough time building knowledge, building word recognition, and activating things like verbal reasoning to get students to process their thinking through the text." - Dr. D. Fisher
