She/her. Librarian for youth in California. Parent. Pandemic Player (Shakespeare, y’all). Constantly fumbling, occasionally on to something. Views my own.
Working a Saturday shift at the ol’ library, but nipped out during my lunch break to quickly join the No Kings protest happening on the Main Street in the suburb where I work

Happy 4th of July to the 17 million Americans who will lose their healthcare over the next decade! 🎉🇺🇸💰
XOXO, the heinous 218 congressional reps, 50 senators, vice president, and president who are totally looking out for your best interests (🙃)

Went to my Congressman’s first town hall 2025 last night. I like Mullin. He knows state & local issues well and knows the stakes federally. But my dude needs to listen to his constituents who literally pleaded for a little less decorum & a little more rabble rousing (also, #Veep fans read alt text)

Sometimes on #WalksInMyTown I just have to marvel at the sheer weirdness of the tree varieties in this place (redwood, palm, and cherry here). All photographed in same little place

Getting ready to present at our town’s Teen Wellness Retreat later this month. Will be leading an art therapy session to craft your own mini calm space. My sample is a tiny library, of course 📚 Excited to chat with kids, share resources, & remind them the library is a safe space for them

A local school lets some of their seniors paint the parking spots. I particularly like this one

Took this shot of an artistic landscape photo propped against the glass of an outbuilding’s window. The window has a big hole smashed right in the center 🤔

If you're mentally drained from the news but still want to be an informed person, it helps to look sideways and see what workers in our federal government actually do. I highly recommend the Netflix show The G Word with @adamconover.net.

Very fun distraction of late is playing #CultOfTheLamb on Switch. A weird, cute, creepy little fight & farming game. The funniest detail is when one of your followers grows old and dies, the others gather around the body and say "hmm" in conversational tones like they're discussing the weather

What a library worker’s to-read pile looks like. I’m rotating about 6 of these at the moment. Titles in alt text for the curious. If you don’t have a #librarycard, what are you waiting for?
