ON LEARNING TO DISSECT FETAL PIGS
By Renee Nicole Macklin Good

i want back my rocking chairs,

solipsist sunsets,

& coastal jungle sounds that are tercets from cicadas and pentameter from the hairy legs of

cockroaches.

i’ve donated bibles to thrift stores

I'm dreaming of a plaid Christmas, completely unlike the ones I used to know.

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild:
Deer
Raccoon
Rabbit
Turtle
Vulture
Fox
Boar
Wolf
Mouse
Deer

(I didn't see the wolf in Europe. It was in a US national park and it was on the trail behind me. At least it wasn't a bear! Though mind you the scariest was the boar, because she had her piglets with her and you don't WANNA piss a boar mom off)
Deer.
Fox.
Seal. (Unless only land animals count?)
Probably otter (too small to be a seal, distant in a tidal river).
Hedgehog.

And just in case some of those don't count:
Water rat.
Moorish wall gecko. (I didn't name it.)

Charlie Brown and Snoopy at Tanagra
So... I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all... I think I can live with it, Charlie Brown.
Faster Charlie Brown! Kill! Kill!

this is one of the most frustrating aspects of keeping my library's juvenile nonfiction up-to-date. books that are otherwise still useful & relevant are full of dead URLs because the author/publisher was understandably trying to make the book appeal to the Online Youth with cool multimedia resources
The book came out in 2021! In less than five years, a huge percentage of my book's citations were made irrelevant by paywalls and content migrations!!

Astounding to me that my brothers and sisters in the Republican Party seem ready to let people starve and shut down the airlines rather than keep healthcare relatively accessible and affordable.

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.
Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like.
love you all 🤍

Here’s your first look at our new baby armadillo! 🧪

Backpack is a screaming hairy armadillo, one of only four born in human care since 2020. Born right here at the Museum of Science in Boston, they started out tiny, with a soft shell and a look that resembled a pink gummy bear.

This is the take, folks:
I imagine that it gave Charlie Kirk great pleasure to die as a martyr to the god of death he worshipped. I wish instead he could have died another way: of old age, peacefully, in a country where all his work had come to nothing, and he himself completely forgotten.

Mr. Baldwin, world history. I remember him playing "devil's advocate," and I see the value of that technique when one's audience is 9th graders. he made room for questions and discussion in his classroom, and as a result I felt respected, which in turn motivated me to think and learn.
Let's do this

Gratitude to history teachers who taught us to love history

I'll start.

Mrs. Paul.
8th grade history teacher
Made us write re: Hamilton & child labor.
Got my attention!
MANY years later I got to thank her for helping me learn to love history
Getting to thank your teachers?
The best!

The equation I use is (length of trip in days) + 1, because what if I read a whole book every day, years of experience say that I won't, but we must not risk running out of books.

i didn't realize limiting dependent minors' access to art and information was a "first amendment right" 🤔
🚨In its fourth decision, the Supreme Court holds that parents who object to LGBTQ books in the classroom have a First Amendment right to "opt out" their children from seeing those books. Alito writes for the 6-3 majority, with all three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
