Yep, Mychal Threets is the new host of Reading Rainbow!

And he’s also the official residential librarian for PBS Kids.

I got to meet him in Kansas City, and he was just as kind and gentle in real life, maybe even moreso, as he is in his posts

No, seriously! If Nickelodeon wasn’t gonna grant Hillenberg’s wish to have SpongeBob end after the 2004 movie (and really, they didn’t care about that, they’re Nickelodeon), they should have ended it when he passed.

They could have done one last big hurrah special in memorium of him, but then that’s it.

And besides, Tim Kenny, I love the guy, but he is even saying it’s getting harder for him to voice SpongeBob.

I don’t know if I’m a good person to ask this but I still play Subway Surfers to this day

This is in the United States, during segregation.

The little girl in the picture is Ruby Bridges. In 1960, she was one of the first Black kids to integrate a school. In this picture, she is walking to an all-Whites school and the guards are protecting her because the racist white adults wanted to harm her just for wanting to go to school.

Ruby Bridges is still alive today.

6-year old Ruby Bridges walking to school.

This picture was always so powerful to me. I think I had that one famous illustrated storybook about Ruby Bridges.

Well, one time a bunch of kids hit me and beat me with sticks like i was a piñata then they pushed me into the street whilst a truck was driving towards me. And the teachers didn’t do jack squat about it because they didn’t see it happen.

So no, Middle School was awful
