David Byrne not only understands the assignment, he’s the student you throw out the prompt for so they can shine.

A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!
Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

Barack Obama and Zohran Mamdani sing ‘Wheels on the Bus’ to kids in NYC

Extreme close-up of a white and black dog mid yawn, so it looks like she’s smiling

Good morning, sunshine ☀️

Cover of George Takei's autobiographical graphic novel They Called Us Enemy showing a line of people entering an internment camp as a young George looks back, breaking the fourth wall.

Friends of the Sacramento Library is offering these free for AAPI month

I have read so much work like this, but this might be the single most painful one because, well, everything is local.

I drive through Florin often (It's now South Sacramento), SF is where my mom lives, his dad was my age when

I struggle to find new music also, so I usually ask my students what they’re listening to before we leave for break 😆

Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes in 2025, despite making $5.7 billion.

This Tax Day, remember that you have paid more in taxes than a multi-billion dollar company—all thanks to corporate tax breaks from Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.

Winona Ryder as Veronica Sawyer in Heathers after they blow up the school. Her hair is a mess and there’s soot and blood on her face and a cigarette is dangling out of her mouth. She looks very very done.

It’s beyond cruel to make mandatory training #AIslop

Also, Auntie Shrew sure gets a lot of flack given that she stops a whole damn tractor by herself.

As it should be!

Ida B. Wells side eye.

I don’t think we talk enough about how delightfully terrifying the cats are in Don Bluth films.

In Springsteen’s words: everybody has a Hungary heart

Liquor cabinet with several varieties of Hendrix Gin.

Clearly, my liquor shelf and I agree with the love Hendrix is getting in this thread (splurged in duty-free last year). For a cheap gin, I prefer Beefeaters.

The world needs some levity. We need a Rescuers 3 with a storyline that enables Disney to make Bernard/Bob Newhart a #disneyprincess

Less war and more otters, please.

If I remember correctly, Jaws 2 starts with sharks fighting in the womb. That was a cool setup.

I read Jaws for the first time in 4th grade, but wasn’t allowed to read Stephen King or about “evil” topics). I need to reread it as an adult, but I remember thinking the affair was dumb and the ending was anti-climactic (a rare example of a film being better than the book)

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back

Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Overheard a group of (usually) Trump-loving vets complaining about him yesterday in Marietta (north of ATL). They’re pissed about another war, but also wish he would’ve waited until after midterms. They’re scared of what’s coming.

I’m used to coming home after a long day of work only to read heinous news, but I wasn’t expecting anything quite this heinous today. #trumpthreats

Our babies and pets don't deserve this shit.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

Not a lot of people know that the lunar mission ground crew is entirely made up of French women in pastel short shorts.

ATL Barbie! Good news from the #WNBA for Dream fans!

Whodunit vintage board game spread out, with clue sheets, pencils, and the box cover, which has a dark 1960s vibe.
