Yes, CL said she distinctly remembered that day in your group chat. 😄

@lindsayfickas.bsky.social you relatable wordsmith.

My quest to become a librarian is progressing… to date I’ve completed the first half of the year one courses for the LIT program at SAIT through Open Studies, and I JUST finished on-boarding to be a support substitute Learning Commons Facilitator (School Librarian!) and Receptionist with RVS. 🎉

Soup tastes better when you are eating it out of your most beloved bowl. Coffee or tea taste better when you are drinking them from your most cherished mug. A book is more captivating when you’re reading it in your preferred chair.

Denying these facts is akin to denying science itself.

I just went to hear her talk in Calgary a few weeks ago, she is A DELIGHT.

@georgetakei.bsky.social They Called Us Enemy was sobering but really good! Not a comedy, but bio.

I’m so relieved, I thought for sure he was toast.

Canada en masse at the end of the 10th inning…. Now I need emotional support poutine.

MY FAAAAVE he put his whole being into it.

Dear white evangelicals, I was wrong – Baptist News Global This use of force by the government against Christians is exactly what you’ve warned us about for years, Rick Pidcock says.

I have a new article out tonight where I offer an apology to white evangelicals. I was wrong. You were right. I'm sorry I didn't believe you. And I offer no excuses.

Entirely possible, I haven’t seen it in a few years. 😅

The one place I noticed the most physical difference? I can sing again without losing my breath or my throat closing up if I actually put myself into it. It’s been almost three years, pre-covid, since I’ve been able to really do that.

O sing, my soul, indeed.

I turned a corner this past week. Nothing practically changed, but knowledge changed. My autonomy and value were affirmed. I felt less wary than I have in a few years…

Unprecedent-hoot

Your kindness and softness towards your people is defiant in the face of trauma that would have turned lesser women to stone.

Is someone GROOMING this moose?! It looks like it just spent a day being pampered like a Kentucky Derby hopeful, it’s SHINY. The ones that show up in my yard look like they lost multiple battles with a sappy pine that was also blindly wielding clippers.

@thisone0verhere.bsky.social I am trying to get my friends to read this with me, so far no takers… trying the squirrel later.

There’s one groupie who will be allowed backstage and it’s Betty White.

Was NOT expecting Kpop Demon Hunters to be fantastic representation of therapy parts work AND make me cry, but here we are.

Right up there with Inside Out 1 & 2, and Turning Red for FANTASTIC movies about emotional health and understanding. AND SO FUN.

Recovery is not about handling sh*t perfectly. You won't, I won't. It's about being willing & able to course correct, again & again.

Don't get me wrong, we'll absolutely get better at handling stuff as we get further into recovery-- but the core of recovery is bouncing back.

I literally had to stop touching my face as I read this. 🤦🏻‍♀️

A robin’s broken eggshell sits on pine needles in sunlight.

A yellow and black butterfly sits on horsetail ferns.

It’s been a rough week, personally and provincially and, well, everywhere else.
Wrestling my own mind to keep moving and to notice beauty, especially in the small places.

I started and have to get it again from library and restart it… it’s so good but I am low on energy for epic tomes at the moment… @clhowley.bsky.social and Jake Lee keep bugging me to finish it :)

The level of chaos to even start to implement these guidelines on the level of learning commons facilitators will be literally traumatic and heartbreaking. This will leave school libraries almost empty, and take the heart out of them and replace it with fear.

The level of absolute hypocrisy and idiocy here, especially when excluding certain books like the Bible for no reason other than they are protecting narrow ideology (and I say this as a Christian myself), is infuriating. 1/2

I still can’t reach up under shades to turn on lamps.

They know exactly what they’re doing, of course. The sheer stupidity of doing it on purpose as if wielding oppression isn’t going to kill everything good left of their souls…

Tis. Also I read this typo as fester and honestly that also works?

The unfathomable cruelty and stupidity of this…
