“Are you hurling panicked conjecture into the void to crash into other ppl? Are you sure that’ll get you to where you yourself want to go? Just remember this:
Voicing our fears can lead us to connection and courage.
Spewing our ruminations fire hose style keeps us in our activated states that we’ve grown so accustomed to living in and richochets us off others in activated states.
What happens in our bodies when we get a little quieter?

Dr. King spread a message of justice and persisted in the face of hatred.
His legacy calls us to serve each other and to continue striving towards a more inclusive and united Minnesota.

One thing before tomorrow:
Use your local libraries.
Get your card.
Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.
Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).
Attend promoted activities.
Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.
Tell your kids that libraries are good.
They are.

Anyone looking to ban a book from a school should have to prove they read it by presenting a book report to the school committee.

All of my history teachers were football or basketball coaches.
As a history teacher who is not a football coach…. There is some truth to this meme

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

Public libraries are the best!!
Proof your public library loves you: they leave you alone while you read, they don’t mind when you bring your kids over, and they’ll let you borrow any of their books, even the hardcovers

I can never understand why children's books get left out of "great book" lists. The books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes no-one. They are books for EVERYONE - and if you exclude them, you miss the most important books of all!

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like
