I have the best job. Sometimes it involves helping someone navigate a complicated government website, locate just the right book, or get in touch with a social service. And sometimes it involves sitting in a quiet space with anxious kids who just want to be kids.

The anime character Ponyo floating in the ocean

On Friday—report card conference day—Manga & Anime Club quietly screened Ponyo while we drew and ate snacks. 5th grader: “Thanks. I really, really needed that.” Me, after the week that felt like a year: “Me too, buddy.” #libraries #librarylife

Sarah McBride: "It is an attempt to distract ... Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand. Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare."

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Good morning, Donut! This is Penn ❤️🐈

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

You earned it.

This librarian thanks you!

Thanks, Karen!📚
