Just in case you are wondering if the kids are alright, may I present my 9 year olds letter to Santa.

Text of Letter:
Dear Santa… I’ve been naughty and I’ve been nice and I don’t care how much presents I get.

Guys if you haven’t watched the Canadian produced “Heated Rivalry”yet on @cravecanada.bsky.social or distributed by @hbomax.bsky.social may I suggest you get on that? Or you can give your eyes another treat and read the books by Rachel Reid. I know I’m doing both *millennial winky face*

When I accepted all these audio books on Libby I assumed I could finish them. I have 9 days and 53 hours to get through, plus the other books waiting to be listened at two day intervals after. My children don’t need my attention- right? My physical books don’t need me - right?

And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs

Today on National Indigenous Peoples Day, we celebrate the cultures and languages of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples.

Take time to learn whose land you’re on and listen to Indigenous voices - not just today, but every day.
