Kicked off the year by foster failing. Welcome to the family, Peanut! #fosterbunny #bunny #rabbit

Really proud of myself. I haven’t read this much since I was in library school.

So many #pollinators on my #nativeplants

#Caturday will never be the same. Rest easy, sweet boy. 🌈

“Remember that summer you were seven and I had to teach you about fascism? And activism? And how families are being separated? And how we can help others who don’t have a voice? And what ‘love thy neighbor’ means. And that I fought for our future. And that I fought for you.” #nokings #impeachtrump

Baptisia. #nativeplants #ILnativeplants

Today the likelihood went up that in the next few years you will have friends or colleagues or people in your community or members of your family picked up by the government and sent to a prison or out of the country or otherwise punished for unjust reasons without regard for the rule of law.

To anyone living in a state that doesn't respect you for who you love or who you are: Illinois has a place for you.

You are seen, you are celebrated, you are protected, and you are welcome here in our state.

All I feel is rage. Call your reps. Support libraries. #ilovemylibrary

Thank you for being our hero

Showed my 4H Cloverbud 🍀 She was quite impressed! Congrats! 🎉

This is my all time fav book! Sometimes I pretend it was a birthday present to me because it was published on my birthday. 😆 One day I’ll be able to afford a signed copy 🤩

Me adding more to my library holds knowing damn well they’ll all become available at the same time 🫠 #Booksky #Booktok #SupportPublicLibraries

Much needed break for fresh air and earth beneath my feet before I suffocated on conference center air 🌵☀️ #LibLearnX25

@goraina.bsky.social and @scottmccloud.bsky.social inspiring me to get more comics in the hands of my seven year old. What a great way to kick off a full Saturday at #LibLearnX25 in Phoenix!

I’m reading Weyward/Hart. The story is enticing but I struggle with nonlinear. My palate cleanser is Truth or Beard/Reid on audio. Conclusion: I no longer have a tolerance for books over 300 pages. Get an editor, people.

Arresting Librarians Has NEVER Led to More Liberty and Freedom.  History has shown that prosecuting librarians or educators is one of the hallmarks of an oppressive regime.

Prosecuting librarians/educators is one of the hallmarks of a fascist regime... This is not imaginary. This is not a drill. The old girl scout motto "Be prepared" has never been more relevant. bit.ly/3WtYPMs via @everylibrary.bsky.social
