El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this.

Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

Book 7/35: A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

I swear I don’t give every book five stars, I’ve just read some great ones this year. Fell in love w this grump. Was sobbing so hard at the end, I had to turn my volume up so I could hear the audiobook.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

People who didn’t understand Kendrick Lamar‘s halftime show also don’t understand how tariffs work.

Quotes from the book Weyward by Emilia Hart. The background of the image has florals and bugs with the following text in the foreground: Weyward by Emilia Hart Fiction became a friend as well as a safe harbor; a cocoon to protect her from the outside world and its dangers. The physician spoke with confidence. He was a man, after all. He had no reason to think he would not be believed. “But what could Reverend Goode be afraid of?” My mother smiled. “Us,” she said. “Women.” A great many things look different from a distance. Truth is like ugliness: you need to be close to see it. Perhaps one day, she said, there would be a safer time. When women could walk the earth, shining bright with power, and yet live.

Book 6/35: Weyward by Emilia Hart

I could not put this book down. I love books that follow characters in different time periods and tie them all together. There were so many quotes that resonated with me. Will definitely return to this one!

Celebrated 31 days of @yogawithnico.bsky.social yesterday! Started the M.A.D. series tonight and I am feeling grateful!

Also, yoga + George is v cute when doing downward dog and he goes under me. Less cute when I’m focusing on my breathing and he whacks me in the face with his tail... #yoga #dogmom

This makes me happy! I’m a third of the way through and really enjoying it so far!

I love this so so much. 🩷

This is Duvalín. She is proud of her Mexican heritage and immigrant roots. And like the rest of her community, our country is better because she is in it. 13/10

That’s so stinking sweet 🥹

George chased a tennis ball and returned with a stick.

I say 11/10, very good boy, I appreciate the enthusiasm. What say you @weratedogs.com ?

Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros

God, that woman loves a cliffhanger. I’m now doing all the deep dives for theories. Send memes to comfort me considering it will be YEARS before I get the answers I need. 😭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Will read this series again.

Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Aaaaand gender affirming healthcare is suicide prevention. 🩷

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

I’m in chapter 58 and feel like the last 30 or so chapters have flown by! Hang in there. I really think it’s worth it.

Finished book 2/35 last week!

What My Bones Know by Stephanie Foo

I appreciated the insights she shared about her journey coming to peace with her CPTSD diagnosis & healing from her experiences. It profoundly shifted my perspective on generational trauma.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Highly recommend!

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

I LOVED this book! Viola Davis is such an incredible human.

Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi! I read it several years ago and still think about it.

I LOVE the Libby app. I tagged Onyx Storm so I would get a notification when it was in the app and available to place a hold, placed the hold MONTHS ago, and got the notification that it’s available when I woke up! So excited to read! #booksky
