Call Congress for our libraries. Show up for our libraries. American library association.

ALA is deeply concerned by reports that IMLS is sending notices to libraries claiming to cancel grants that are required by law. This harmful action will disrupt libraries' ability to serve their communities.

Book covers for: Hollow Fires by Samira Ahmed, The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo, The Many Half-Lived Lives of Sam Sylvester by Maya MacGregor, Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson, Monster by Walter Dean Myers, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

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.

A tree - possibly an ent - with legs, arms and an unusually large bellybutton.

Had to clamber over a barbed wire fence, rip my coat and trespass to get a photo of this folkloric monster pretending half-successfully to be a tree. I have no regrets.

I haven’t lived through the collapse of a civilisation before

I study history so I have read the guidebooks, but they don’t quite capture the experience of being there

As the EOs and orders keep coming, I keep thinking of the exhibit in the Berlin Jewish Museum that displays the 962 anti-Jewish laws and policies in order as they came down. These kinds of drumbeats are designed not just to oppress but to normalize oppression. www.jmberlin.de/en/jmb-journ...

A human man who has somehow morphed into a tree and transformed his hands into branches.

A tree with an unusually large bellybutton which, when you pass through it, leads you to 'Dark Narnia'.

Don't forget: trees are people too.

My washing machine is almost 50 years old and still working (knocks on wood)! Kenmore. Really we never buy anything new except for a handmade item splurge and most other things we get at a thrift store.
