✅ Did my early voting today! If you live in Texas there are a bunch of propositions to vote on, so please get out there! I recommend looking them up in advance (lots of big words I didn't understand 😆)

The cuts affected teams across the NBC News operation and came as the network no longer needed to support two different news operations. MSNBC has begun growing its own newsroom, hiring swaths of tale...

Wild to see that entire school libraries are being temporarily closed. Further reminder of how wonderful and necessary public libraries are.

The New Braunfels school board voted Monday evening to “temporarily suspend student access to all secondary libraries and all secondary library materials effective immediately while the district ensures compliance with Senate Bill 13.”

I just finished She's Always Hungry by Eliza Clark, a book of short horror stories. I cannot recommend it enough, so creepy and wonderful. A great read for the spooky time of year.

Banned Books - Gator Days
Banned Books - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Olivia and Gustopher are at the library. The Library is having a special event for books that have been banned in the past. Dora the librarian is stacking books with titles like "BOOK", "Boogers", "Tales", "Can you", "read this" and "Word". Olivia has a great interest in forbidden knowledge and has been browsing what's available. She's found a book called "Salt Box" and has an important question for the librarian. Olivia: Miss Librarian! Why was this book banned? Dora: Vulgar Language. Panel 2 Dora makes a shocked expression and holds her hands to her face. This is the only way she can express how depraved the book is. Dora: The word "butt" is used.... FIFTEEN TIMES! Panel 3 Dora looks down to the children to gather their reaction. Internally, Gustopher is wondering if Dora meant "but" with one "t" or "butt" with two. Olivia immediately assumes it's the latter. Behind them is a poster promoting banned books week. There is a cartoon book that's smiling and saying "I'm forbidden!" He's booky the banned book. He was specifically banned for being made using the darkest of magic. He's also kind of rude. Panel 4 Olivia is excited about the book. This leads Gustopher to assume that "butt" was indeed spelled with an extra "t". Olivia: Now I have to read it. Dora: Oh noooo... I'll help you check it out.

The story of #Flight93 gives me an important reminder that good, brave people exist, not just in movies and books, but in real life. I want to remember that courage.

No tears over the death of a man who brought such vitriol into the world.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Religion doesn't belong in public schools. This Senate Bill is outrageous and unconstitutional. It's un-American in my opinion.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

It was 35 years ago this month that the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law. Across the U.S., it's being marked with festivals and parades — and concern due to recent Medicaid cuts.

The House and Senate have approved the rescission package pushed by the Trump administration. It includes clawing back funds allocated for the CPB. This negatively impacts San Antonio’s public broadcasters; however, it won’t take local stations off the air.

The Senate voted by a razor-thin margin late Tuesday to advance debate on a package of funding cuts requested by President Trump that would claw back $1.1 billion previously allocated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Texas can't adequately warn people about deadly floods, but it can immediately let me know that a cop got hurt 250 miles away from me.
