Loved connecting with so many amazing #librarians & creators at the @slj.com Summit, and hearing folks plan to use the Humble Brag Board (developed by Rain Smith + me and featured in my keynote).

Grateful for every conversation and for a @ljsljevents.bsky.social Summit full of joy and advocacy. 💛

Honored to give the opening keynote at the @slj.com Summit. Grateful for the chance to bring humor + hope to a tough moment for school librarians. Hearing panelists reference the keynote throughout the Summit & learning that so many attendees found it both hilarious & uplifting made my week! #TLSky

Not to be pedantic, but shouldn't it be Franken Berry's Monster?

Victor Franken Berry would be the doctor, right?

It's my great honor to announce that I'll be co-presenting with @librarianjones.com at #AASL25.

If you know either of us, you know we believe joy, wit, & a little mischief belong right alongside literacy & advocacy.

Congratulations! You found Waldo!

(I'd been waiting for the perfect opportunity to wear this outfit, but I decided today being field day would be the perfect time. A lot of people found me.)

So I went to get my haircut today and I said, “Give me the Tim Jones.”

How do you think they did? 💇🏻‍♂️✂️

I'm now a South Park character, mmmkay.

#LibrariesAreForEveryone #EvenKenny #LibraryLife #SouthParkSky #EduSky #TLSky #AI #CartoonLibrarian #BlameAINotCanada #AISky #WhatWouldBrianBoitanoRead
A South Park-style cartoon character stands in a snowy landscape. The character is a middle-aged man with light skin, a round face, short dark brown hair, and a reddish-brown beard. He wears a bright orange winter coat with black gloves and pants. The coat has bold black text on the front that reads, “Libraries Are For Everyone!” The background features soft white snowdrifts and a clear blue sky, rendered in a flat, 2D cutout animation style.

I'm not a People, but I am a librarian and a future author, so I can pretend.

If you Google Image search "School Library Journal Librarian of the Year" with no names, I come up second. But YOU come up first. So I still bow down to you, Queen Julia. 👸🏰

It's just science! 😉

They scrub out facts from every site—
History, science—gone overnight.
You guard each story they try to erase,
A quiet rebel in a silenced space.

The photoshoot for this fake magazine cover took a long time. But it was such a beautiful day outside, I didn't even mind.

What an honor to appear in this very special issue, not altered by #AI at all.

#SportsIllustrated #AISky
A digitally manipulated parody cover of Sports Illustrated titled "Timsuit Issue." The image features a man with an exaggerated facial expression and six fingers on each hand, wearing a sequined hat that says "SEXY," a neon yellow long-sleeve swim shirt, and inflatable armbands with American flag designs. The background is a tropical beach scene. A caption at the bottom reads: "Definitely not digit-ally manipulated like other SI swimsuit covers." The composition humorously mimics the iconic Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition with an intentionally absurd and exaggerated touch.

(The very real hat pulls all the fake together, I think.)

"What are you looking at?"

ME!! - on the cover of another fake magazine!!

(hey, don't be MAD you're not ONNA fake cover too)

#RayOfLibraryLight #WhatItFeelsLikeForAReader #CrazyForBooks
A parody of a "Vogue" magazine cover featuring a black-and-white image of a man with a surprised expression. The man's head has been edited onto Madonna's famous fashion pose with curly hair and hands framing their face. The "VOGUE" logo is displayed at the top in large, light blue letters. Several bold, black-and-white text boxes contain library and literacy-themed headlines, including: "EXPRESS YOUR SHELF: Bold Library Displays That Make a Statement" "JUSTIFY MY LOVE OF READING: A Book for Every Reader, A Reader for Every Book" "LA ISLA BANNED-A: Why Every Book Matters" "THE POWER OF GOOD-BYE: How Weeding Increases Circulation" "RESCUE ME FROM MISINFORMATION: Teaching Students to Think Critically" The overall design mimics a high-fashion magazine cover with a humorous and advocacy-driven focus on libraries and literacy.

Look, I'm on the cover of a fake magazine!!

#MediaLit #FakeNews
A digitally altered GQ magazine cover featuring a man with an excited, open-mouthed expression superimposed onto the body of a male model. The magazine headline reads 'Tim Jones Can Do It All,' with humorous subheadings including references to singing, dancing, acting, and getting punched in the face by Harrison Ford. Other visible headlines mention workplace drug habits and fashion tips. The background features the iconic GQ logo in orange and blue.
