The fish sometimes stack up like cordwood in their little Flintstones house.

This is Shamu. He spends a good amount of time just hanging out here.

my great-grandparents had it pretty rough, but I'm willing to bet they didn't have to find out about WWII on the toilet at 4 o'clock in the morning

King of Tokyo Board set up.

Game night with King of Tokyo. Needs a two player variation. Pawns and cards are extra fun
Appreciate sequence cards to help with steps of a turn. Would be extra fun with 4. #BoardGames

One of my favorite elements of Bluesky as a platform: Feeds, & the fact that my account remembers which feed I was last in. I exclusively hang in a couple library feeds.

I just can't handle news anymore; used to be a bit of a junky. But Bluesky protects my mental health!

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Students are trying out new choice time activities and magnetic chess is all the rage! I love games that can be taught in 60 seconds or less and played over and over because they are so short!

Test playing games for the library. This dexterity game will be a winner for sure. Similar to Jenga, Kabuto Sumo it involves a lot of push your luck risk and includes competitive and cooperative game play. I’m thinking 2 games would give you a bigger competitive team game. #SchoolLibrary #Games

My 5th graders have enjoyed reading Whale Fall by Melissa Stewart this week. They are learning about food webs and this book really helps them understand the role of scavengers and decomposers. #TLSky #EduSky

Going to work a little late this morning after another doctor appointment, so I decided to spend a little time getting ready for classes next week. We’re reading some fish themed books for March Book Madness, so some classes are making paper plate fish. #SchoolLibrary

This is a "maintenance" year. I purchased filler for these chairs because time has taken a toll on their squishiness. It's much more fun to buy new items than the items needed to maintain them. But, it must be done...

OMG!

I am so dumb.

I have been trying all week to figure out why I have been feeling so off & like a slug.

Stus who are fasting stay with me. I have been missing lunch or eating very late (I am fine with this).

I just realized my schedule is off & my body is reacting to it!

Duh, Rain!

Let me be crystal clear on something: were this law to be passed, every one of the 13 states with Freedom to Read laws would cease to have those laws to protect them anymore.

We have poured so much energy into those state laws–which matter, hear me–but they are not going to solve the big issue.
