My quest to become a librarian is progressingβ¦ to date Iβve completed the first half of the year one courses for the LIT program at SAIT through Open Studies, and I JUST finished on-boarding to be a support substitute Learning Commons Facilitator (School Librarian!) and Receptionist with RVS. π

Soup tastes better when you are eating it out of your most beloved bowl. Coffee or tea taste better when you are drinking them from your most cherished mug. A book is more captivating when youβre reading it in your preferred chair.
Denying these facts is akin to denying science itself.

Dear white evangelicals, I was wrong β Baptist News Global
This use of force by the government against Christians is exactly what youβve warned us about for years, Rick Pidcock says.
I have a new article out tonight where I offer an apology to white evangelicals. I was wrong. You were right. I'm sorry I didn't believe you. And I offer no excuses.

The one place I noticed the most physical difference? I can sing again without losing my breath or my throat closing up if I actually put myself into it. Itβs been almost three years, pre-covid, since Iβve been able to really do that.
O sing, my soul, indeed.

Recovery is not about handling sh*t perfectly. You won't, I won't. It's about being willing & able to course correct, again & again.
Don't get me wrong, we'll absolutely get better at handling stuff as we get further into recovery-- but the core of recovery is bouncing back.

The level of chaos to even start to implement these guidelines on the level of learning commons facilitators will be literally traumatic and heartbreaking. This will leave school libraries almost empty, and take the heart out of them and replace it with fear.

The level of absolute hypocrisy and idiocy here, especially when excluding certain books like the Bible for no reason other than they are protecting narrow ideology (and I say this as a Christian myself), is infuriating. 1/2

It's so important to support your local theatre, cafΓ©, bookstore, bakery, and library. They are little corners of magic in a world full of chaos. Without them, a town loses a piece of its soul. Keeping them around not only saves them, but in many ways, also saves us.
