Burning Red: Taylor Swift Tribute @burningredband.bsky.social · Jan 26

I mean honestly, just let them burn the world down. I think that’s the only possible way to break the white supremacist fever. He’s causing suffering to everyone who voted for him. Maybe they’ll fucking figure it out now.

If we care about the future of our children - we need a library & a librarian in every single school, to help every single child find the books that will make them lifelong readers! Libraries & librarians create the readers of the future! #libraries #librarians #literacy

Finished listening to The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer. What a beautifully written reflection on what it means to be a consumer, a community member, and a participant in our economy. Very thought provoking and timely. #ecologicaleconomics #abundanceandreciprocity

Agree completely! I myself love tracking my reads as an adult, but it is optional, not required. I’m so grateful my school has an incredible librarian who cultivates a love of reading and not just AR scores and reading levels.

Just finished Huda Fahmy’s book That Can Be Arranged: A Muslim Love Story. She is by far one of my favorite authors I’ve been introduced to this year. Every single book I’m laughing out loud and I love seeing life from her perspective. Such great graphic novels. #hudafahmy #graphicnovels

My sixth grade STEAM students put on a Thanksgiving parade for the younger students at our school yesterday. The awakening of their engagement and motivation to do something was incredible to watch. So many skills were grown in their creativity, too. #steameducation #schooljoy

I will die on the hill that reading logs, making kids choose leveled books from sorted tubs and the cutting of library time in schools is what has been most detrimental to love of reading. Bring back reading joy.

Tired Librarian @gnora.bsky.social · Nov 27

I’ve seen librarian and educators just as guilty of this as parents. Graphic novels, picture books, difficult subjects, audiobooks; all. Reading. Is. Valid. 👏

There's a #Kidlitchat at 9PM Eastern/6PM Pacific tomorrow right here on Bluesky. You might wonder, is 24 hours really enough lead time for you to get into the mood for the chat? And the answer is, you were BORN for this chat. (Also, no lead time is really needed. But shhhhh.). See ya there!

So brilliant. I love how the town was even a character in the story. Definitely one of my all time favorites!

I know! Kemi’s perspective on life and death really helped me sort through the way I feel about life and death. Just a fantastically written story.
