Gather around for a buggy story time! 🐝🐛🐜📖

I had to draw @paulinedrawsbears.bsky.social adorable mole traveler for her #DTIYS challenge. It was fun to make this! I asked some friends what bug they would be (I am the inch worm!).

A digital illustration of a mole character wearing a red sweater reading a book. In front of him are: a bumble bee on a leaf, a millipede semi curled up, a pill bug, and inch worm. Behind the mole is a stick with an earthworm draped across it. At the end of the stick is a bright star shaped lantern.

An image with three little animal travellers: a wren in a blue cloak, a woodmouse in a green coat, and a mole in a red knitted sweater.
The writing on the image says: Draw* this in your style (arrows to the three travellers).

A surprise portrait of an Imperial dragon named mir from Flight Rising! I received a comment that mir is a descendant of one of my dragons (by about 12 generations).

My heart broke when a library patron told me she is a high school librarian and so many books were being pulled off the shelves for "review."

She checked out as many as she could thru the public library so she could read them herself and fight to keep the books available for students to check out.

If anyone has the energy to continue this legacy I think it's Mychal

HATS OFF, we need that specific energy now more than ever. Pick up a book if you haven't, don't be afraid to read YA, visit your local library, even if its just to hang out.

Value literature and third spaces. Love reading!

Mychal Threets @mychal3ts.bsky.social · 16d

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

Smiling Mychal with hands raised wears an outer space shirt in a library. It is a still from an episode of Reading Rainbow.

LeVar Burton smiles with hands behind his head as he lies down on a colorful pile of books. ENEMY PIE book rests on his chest.

I'm grumpy that Amtrak doesn't have a commuter train that operates between Phoenix and Tucson... the only available train this weekend is on Sunday, which does not help when I want to go to Tucson on Saturday! 😔

Does anyone care is almost never the right question. People care. The issue is that people don't know what to do.

I DID IT!!! I got my sewing machine set up today and made my sewing room semi-functional. It was tough to not get caught up in doing more decluttering and organizing but... I really have missed sewing, and can work more on organizing in the future.

Eventually I want to upgrade my sewing chair.

I have found a quilt pattern I am really excited to try, and it's really motivating me to get my sewing machine set back up this weekend (for realsies this time, I know I have said it before but for real for real this time)
