Hey #BookSky, here’s what I read in January. (Heavy on #TournamentOfBooks selections.)

The Wedding People was my favorite.

Orbital felt like meditation.

World of Wonders was full of delightful metaphors.

A few days after the election, I decided my family needed a puppy.

Now, as I wake up and read the news, this is at my feet.

Have to take a long walk later.

Tug on a rope and release aggression.

I’m not saying everyone should go get a puppy, but I am not NOT saying that, either.

Bayo the #bernedoodle has doubled in size in less than three weeks. 😬

Gonna need to adjust the dog food budget!

#DogsOfBluesky

Delightfully stumbled upon my favorite treat (Sugarwitch) at the grocery store while stressfully running errands. Slowed down and savored.

#STL #JoyIsResistance

Enjoying a slow start to the day and finishing up reading Olivetti for next month’s Tween Book Club!

#Books #SecularHomeschool

Starting the day off with some adorable violence.

#Cats

Thinking a lot about enclaves ("safe spaces") today and reading an article from Karma R. Cha ́vez. As we think about social media, "echo chambers," and activist goals, this seems important.

Would love some thoughts on how educators are balancing AI-generated content pros/cons and how families (especially #secularhomeschool families) are responding to classes/materials with AI-generated content.

If your feed is just cats and more cats, Sassafras would like to contribute.
