It can be hard to NOT to compare yourself w/others, esp when browsing social media. To avoid getting sucked into that self-destructive rabbit hole, I try hard to focus on enjoying my own journey at my own pace. My advice? Find your own joy. You may be luckier than you think. #DebbieOhiComics #KidLit

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

This also lets you comment, vigorously and at length, on the accuracy of, and motivations behind, Google's choices.
A quick resistance task:
1. Google Gulf of Mexico
2. “Gulf of America" is the top
3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it
4. Select "Send Feedback"
5. Click on "Gulf Of America"
6. Select "Inaccurate content"
7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"
