My kids have an NTI day due to the flooding in our county. I left the room to go to the bathroom and now they’re ALL meowing ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

ALA is deeply concerned by reports that IMLS is sending notices to libraries claiming to cancel grants that are required by law. This harmful action will disrupt libraries' ability to serve their communities.

Sometimes I wonder what other families think when they sit next to my large very neurodivergent family at restaurants. Today we got into heated debate about what color each number is and what color folder should be used for each subject in school. Math is red fyi (my 15 year old insists it’s blue)

Someone is a big fan of the frog, while someone is still grumpy the frog was on their head. I love the nosy little roly polys ❤️

Do you still boop the frog’s nose even if your sister asked you to get it off???

I’ve started a series of illustrations with these characters, and I’m having lots of fun with them ❤️

I wanted to paint my Leonard! He turned 10 this month and we think we finally have a successful treatment plan for what has been making him sick!

Santino wanted to supervise my work today. He still isn’t happy the kids have gone back to school.
