This week's Monday Melody video is a "classic" go-to song in my performance repertoire. My daughter, Evalyn, is the guest performer. She chose the song because she wants to use it with kids in her new job starting this month as children's librarian in Wichita, Kansas. Congratulations, Evalyn!

Here's a very punny song for you about what happens to baby ducks when they disappear from the brood.

BEHOLD! One of Earth's greatest lineages of life: the lil wiggle arm guys, Meteora.
These single-celled critters, originally found in deep-sea sediments, are SO DIFFERENT from other lifeforms on Earth that they're likely in their own kingdom (as in, the Animal Kingdom, the Plant Kingdom etc). 🧪🌿

Today's Supreme Court decision, though couched in the language of freedom and inclusivity, is a tragic failure for both the right to read and the rights of LGBTQIA+ people. Authors Against Book Bans stands firmly and fiercely against the decision and its rationale. To allow parents to "object" to the presence of positive books about the lives and rights of LGBTQIA+ people is to allow them to "object" to the existence of LGBTQIA+ students, parents, educators, and others in the wider community. You cannot “opt out” of reality, no matter what today’s majority opinion states. These books belong on shelves and these stories belong in classrooms and curricula.

Wish me luck, I'm about to go perform my "Reading Readiness" program for the first time in front of 4 and 5 year olds and a bunch of grad students. Nervous and excited!

I didn't see anything at first. Easier to see with glasses off. Also the image has to be in motion for the portrait to show up. Interestingly, I can see it quite well in the tiny version that shows up while typing this reply. How is this done?
