Today a hate poster was posted around my kiddo’s school. Found about it through communication from admin. Found out my kiddo and a friend covered one that they passed. So proud to have this kiddo in my family.

Not on my bingo card for Winter Break:

Rolling over and immediately falling out of my bed while taking all of the sheets and blankets with me. Hysterical laughter while on the ground is one way to wake up.

Just read this powerful awards acceptance speech by @authorsabb.bsky.social. #DoWhatYouCan #EveryActionCounts www.prettyokmaggie.com/blog/2025/11...

After consistently showing up at my local school board meetings, I was invited to a one-on-one meeting w/ the Superintendent, am consistently greeted by some of the school board members at meetings, & board members & staff at the board meetings say hi to me when they see me at school events.

I returned to work last week, but this has been helping me unwind at night - and this past weekend. Only one more set of panels to complete.

The weekly Substack is up! I'd like to make sure @k8applebee.bsky.social knows she inspired some great new additions into our library that I mention! Excited for things to come! #librarian #library #books #tlsky #skybrarian #skybrarians #librarians

I had so much fun!

Great workshop by @k8applebee.bsky.social at @4csla.bsky.social on board games in your library! Great start to conference!

I genuinely love my in-laws. They are some of the best people and I would gladly hang out with them without my spouse.

But my mil is entering end-of-life care in the hospital and we said what might have been our goodbyes last night. And it is so hard.

I know I am late to the game, but oh boy, school board meetings be wild! After tonight, I feel compelled to attend/watch every meeting and then email the entire board after they adjourn!

But I am so thankful for community organizing groups that encourage involvement in local government.

Meet two of the four cats of the apocalypse named after two of our favorite goddesses - Morrigan and Ishtar. Ishtar is the new addition and of course Morrigan wishes death upon her.

As seen in the Las Vegas airport. Perfect for flying home from #sljsummit

When you get to the airport with @meepleslibrarian.bsky.social and she discovers that her flight has been changed and now she’s on your flight.

I know we all think “I’m really loud anyways, so I don’t need a mic” (especially if we work in schools) and you might be loud, but using a mic is a must for accessibility. So, do us all a favor, use the mic and stop saying “I’m a loud person” as a way to opt out of using the mic.

I am so glad that someone jotted down this beautiful quote. New goal for the library: do the daily work to create space and opportunities for anyone who enters to spread their wings.

There seem to be a number of Americans who don’t know what to do if they find a book they don’t like at the library.

For them, we wrote this handy step-by-step guide.
