Well, people on Bluesky paid attention. I ain’t sure about others on other apps. 👀

One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey.

Check out my students Beelzebub arts project for Lord of the Flies. It’s amazing.

Visit the library makes me feel so refreshed! We checked out books, movies, and perused the genealogy section for a while. While we were there they also had an event where they were fixing people’s electronics for free! #supportyourlocallibraries #libraries #libraryvisit

I'd like to remind Donald Trump that the United States became the most powerful, most prosperous nation on earth not in spite of immigrants, but because of them.

Proud to stand with my Congressional Hispanic Caucus colleagues this week in defense of immigrant families.

They quake in their books as we part ways. #teacherhumor #teachersky

As I make plans teach my students Lord of the Flies, I’m thinking about just telling them to watch the news and that’ll ‘bout sum it up.

back and white art of Gandalf the Grey with the quote "I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

been thinking about this a lot this week 😪

I haven’t read the second one. So even if I did have it, I’d have to read it next. 🙃

Same. I made a commitment to read the books I’ve already bought. So it’s probably going to be a WHILE until I get to it. 🥲

Anyone else. 👀 #booksky

These are classics and can never be recommended enough.

I’m very intrigued so far. I’ve only hear good reviews.

About 20% of the way through Babel. I thought I’d finish it this weekend, but between the news and three kids, it’s taking me longer. Hoping to block off some time tonight to get in several pages.

Wondering how the Jewish community feels about Elon’s “salute” especially since the right seem to be mostly pro Israel.

What a cutie! 🥰

One of my favorite dedications. Can you name the book?

Happy MLK Day.

Ah! She’s beautiful. She reminds me of my pet cat Elizabeth I had when I was a little girl. 🥰

I’m a little sad about, you know, EVERYTHING. I don’t have a pet, so can you either show me some pictures of your pet or your plant or something that makes you happy? *rocks in corner*

Here are my bookshelves. Hoping to turn my dining room into a library with dark academic vibes throughout. But, for now, this will do.

Here is my library. It’s not at all what I envision it to look like, but nevertheless it is mine. One day I hope to have built-ins and paint the room an academic green color. What does your library look like?

Whatever happens, never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So always make time to share books with kids, and help them find books to love. Make reading central to everything you do. It will change their lives forever!

How many tax dollars do you suppose were put into all of this TikTok legislation just for it to be banned for 12ish hours?

No need to be sorry! I’m happy to listen.

You aren’t doing anything wrong.

Prophet? 🥹

I’m always intrigued as to why they think name calling would be viewed as an appropriate mating call.
