What a shot!!!

I'm of an age when we knew bald eagles were endangered. I never saw one in the wild until I was an adult. I still get a little choked up when I see one IRL.

Last month our #LEGO display cases were full of fabulously fictional LEGO models for our #OrkneyLibraryLego WORLD BOOK DAY theme! 📚🦸‍♂️🤖

All made by library users using our #Lego collection. Thank you to everyone who made us a model! ❤️

Our next theme is AN EGG-STRAVAGANZA! 🥚

I'm not a Panican... I'm a Panican't.

Thanks for posting this. I hadn't even noticed that part of Vids. I just used it to record something for a sub. I miss EdChats. That's where I used to find out this stuff.

pushed them,then punched them,when they were down.

The one personal thing that I hold against Trump most of all is that he's forced me to feel this way about another human being.

I know he does far worse on a daily basis, but this degradation is the most personal and I cannot forgive him.

I do not like Island of the Blue Dolphin.

When will Republicans, veterans organizations, & retired military officers speak up about this? No president in the history of the Republic has done this. Yet Trump, Vance, & Hegseth do it constantly. It betrays the most important core value of our military-no partisan politics.

When I want a s to try again I tell them to,"6 7 the heck out of this and get some aura points".

Difficult to express how #edchat changed my practice. Low bar entry,sidebar convos, no bar to the sharing and encouragement. Best pd in PJ's around.
Hopefully pod can be a reminder of how we lifted each other.
Looking forward to having too many tabs open. #satchat

A vivid example of "mission creep" and "libraries aren't essential services except when they're told to be" that are creating a mental health hellscape for library workers.

another year of us not running a super bowl ad

An educator affirmation from Rebecka Peterson, 2023 National Teacher of the Year 🧡

I've got a bunch of uncles who are no longer with us but we're mild mannered about being anitfa. Even the one held as a POW. It was a no brainer for them and for almost all of The Greatest Generation. I know where they would stand today.

People are not listening to hear,rather listening to know when other sound stops so they can talk.

Too many people doubt themselves. And we are the worse for it.

Consider this, Billionaires right now are throwing trillions of dollars trying to recreate an average brain (AI). The average person is born with that tool in their head. But we still think poorly of ourselves.

Stand up. Speak.
