@jimbenton.bsky.social gave me a dopamine hit with his hilarious roundtable today at @michiganmasl.bsky.social! Didn’t know he is a Michigander and is behind Happy Bunny!

My almost-3-year-old calls umbrellas “rainbrellas” and trampolines “jumpolines” and I don’t know why we don’t all do this tbh.
Republicans’ tax cut bill is one step closer to passing. It’s entirely built on a lie.

While ILMS funding supports many programs, poor rural communities will likely feel these cuts first and most deeply. Rural libraries, which serve as lifelines to communities w/o reliable access to broadband, rely heavily on this funding for survival. This is criminal.

Trump just announced tariffs so wide-reaching, they now cover a sub-Antarctic island group populated mostly by penguins and a Norwegian Arctic archipelago best known for its polar bears.
This is what happens when people speak up.
Senator Booker just made history. Now it’s our turn.

BREAKING: IMLS staff were just placed on admin leave!
IMLS is responsible for distributing Federal Funding for libraries.
This action will interrupt IMLS's vital, congressionally funded work.
Take action today!

They’re coming for libraries. Let your reps know how you feel about this.
This was quite possibly the best event I have ever and will ever host. @mrschureads.bsky.social is a gift.
In honor of 🏳️⚧️ Day of Visibility & my Birthday (and @kcboyd.bsky.social's Birthday & @christyjames331.bsky.social's Birthday!) I want to give away a book by one of my favorite trans creators: @kylelukoff.bsky.social! To win a copy of Kyle’s latest book, A World Worth Saving, you gotta do 2 things...
I print these every month. Thank you!
Actual conversation with my 2 year old, rocking her before nap time today:
Bb: *Sits up suddenly* “I need a candy cane!”
Me: “You just had lunch, let’s wait until after nap.”
Bb: “Okay. I have one after nap?”
Me: “Yes.”
Bb: “But I don’t like candy canes!”

A quote graphic with a beige background and bold black and orange text. The quote reads: "What happens today is modern loneliness masks as hyper connectivity. You can have a thousand virtual friends and no one to feed your cat." — Esther Perel, The Oprah Podcast.
Yes and… loneliness often leads to fear, further isolation and the urge to trust conspiracies, b/c conspiracies offer us enemies who are easy to blame for our pain. I'm convinced that how capitalism weaponizes emotion is the key to our #medialit unraveling AND to any chance we have for success.
Michigan is RIGHT there. Please take us. I know this is satire but I’m not joking. 😅
Democratic leadership is pissed…at us?
I’m a librarian, I like my sources to be accurate

Dang, missed it! Hope there's another round.
Two of my library heroes! Happy birthday!
My new favorite quote: "Let who you were be the fertilizer for who you're going to be." - @weirddana.bsky.social
A winter storm is approaching. Michigan Storm Chasers said to start finishing preparations, whether that is going to the store tonight after work, or to fill up your car tomorrow morning. So, I stopped at the library for the next #fourthwing book because #priorities.
My students are going to lose their minds!
I LOVED this book! Watching Fern/Frankie learn what healthy relationships look like (and don't) should be required reading for middle grade. Plus, chosen family! 10/10.
Will you have a blog post about how you made those earrings? :D
Making valentines with my 2.5 year old.
Me: “Who is this one for?”
Her: “Mommy.”
Me: “And this one?”
Her: “For me.”
May you always love yourself enough to make yourself a valentine, little one. Wisdom for us all.

#TLSkyChat A8. School librarians are not archivists. Our job is to connect readers w/the very best resources available. If a book that once shined bright is now dulled by language and/or stereotypes that cause harm, it's time for it to go. That's called weeding (not erasure).

I love to see it.

The HHS protects our lives with programs that depend on scientific research and proven health solutions. RFK Jr. can't be trusted to lead an agency so vital to our health and safety. Make sure your senators hear from you. app.sosha.ai/s/xEg1xL6R
