HELL IS EMPTY...

Many people are asking, so here’s my “why.”

Thank you, Kansas Democrats, for an inspiring Friday evening together.

"Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love?"

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

Every school should have a library, fresh and up to date on what our children need to learn.

I'm not calling him a book banner, but he definitely shares THAT trait with book banners...

True, and I think so because my colleague/compatriot will keep up the fight and there are some people waiting in the wings to apply who are not the silent type.

I know there are many school librarians who have it worse than me.

But it still hurts.

4/4

And there have been many new full-time intervention, tech, instructional coaching positions (and more) added each year.

It's demoralizing. And I am retiring at the end of 26-27, so I will not attain my goal of those positions being restored. And I can't help but wonder if my job will be filled. 3/

We were full-time at one building (each) but the cuts meant splitting time between two schools. Every year we explain what has been lost/could be gained. And every year leadership assures us that we are doing excellent work and we are valued BUT still they have chosen to double administrators. 2/

It's school library month, and I'm finding it hard to celebrate. Yes, I'm proud of what I do, and I believe my profession has a positive effect on kids in so many ways. But it's now been twelve years that my colleague and I have been lobbying our district to restore two cut positions. 1/

So many of us out here are inspired by you and professionally (and personally) benefit from your expertise. We understand that reaching readers is a team effort, and we NEED team captains like you. It's astounding that you regularly encounter people who would rather you make less of an impact.

And then, they should make a book display with copies of your book in the center and books from alllll the contributors circling it. Think of how much they could sell! And this is also makes-itself display for libraries, too. It's not that hard, folks!

His show is SO BAD! If I want to watch people sit around awkwardly waiting to poorly segue into a joke, I'll...well, tune in, I guess....
