#AASL25 was a blast! It always renews me as a librarian. Seeing national friends, going to fabulous sessions, and having amazing keynotes really raises the PD bar for me. Oh, and @mamagilbs.bsky.social and I presented two well-received sessions, too! Feeling like a rockstar heading home. 🥰

#AASL25 was over too fast! So many new ideas and great connections with the library community from all over the country. Do I really have to go back to the real world? 😫

I get it. Libraries are expensive, and librarians are expensive. Our students & future leaders need all of the information literacy, media literacy, and opportunities to read deeply and widely they can get. Curriculum won't save us, testing won't, & AI sure as Hell won't. Fund libraries. #TLSkyChat
Students need school libraries - in an age if mis and disinformation, AI summaries and declining literacy - why would you get rid of your specialised staff in these areas? www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bbc....
Librarians set to be removed from every Glasgow secondary school - BBC News
A principal librarian and a team of assistants would cover Glasgow's 30 secondary schools if council budget cuts are approved.

My byline is back for the first time in many moons. I wrote about teenagers, conspiracy theories and what it was like when social media rumors became personal and painful at an Oklahoma high school.

TREVOR PROJECT HOTLINE - UPDATE
I deleted my post about the Trevor Project's hotline—see: @emceebois.bsky.social's clarification ⬇️. Please share the clarification far & wide.
And if you need to talk:
Hotline: 1-866-488-7386
Text: Text ‘START’ to 678-678

CLARIFICATION :
The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.
They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY
So spread this around
They can be texted. They can be called.
