Yeah, why? I'll bite!

Removal of a hornet's nest.

Important to remember these things...

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

Absolutely inspired by fellow school #librarians spending their summer building a #library and changing lives! Happy Birthday @librarianjones.com apple.co/4iqLVqY

Freedom to read is at the heart of our democracy. And I thought I was “just a librarian”. Turns out, we are at the center of it. Not surprising, when you think of it. We want people to have access to all sides of the issue. True democracy includes a respectful place for everyone’s opinion.

It doesn’t say $1.99, it says $13.99

I created this 20 Day Bluesky Challenge to help educators get started using @bsky.app for professional learning. I hope you find it useful! #EDUSky #TLSky #Librarians #Skybrarians

Title reads: “Find Your New Favorite Book with RIF’s Reading Scavenger Hunt.” Tasks include: Read with your feet in the sand, read with a buddy, listen to a read-aloud, read an e-book, read wearing flip flops and a hat, use a flashlight and read under the stars. Logos for AASL and Reading Is Fundamental appear at the top.

Yes! Elementary is so much easier than middle school.

Black light. That is brilliant! As adults, we love the black light! Why not the kids! Getting it dark enough would be my challenge. You'd have to find a special room.

I saw that! I love your show notes - not just your everyday show notes! Details! And a transcript, which is always nice. That is for us note takers, so that we can highlight the information we are learning! (Are you a librarian or something? ;)

How did the staff respond? Did they help each other to get to zero? I went from middle school to elementary and this is so much easier because they have one teacher who helps them! And I am trying to help them too by providing a list!

Cinder AND Throne of Glass? Be still my heart. Two faves. #tlsky #tlskychat

Another side question: Do I need to hashtag something if I am replying to something in that feed?

So, if I am understanding this correctly, reposting is key. If you just comment, it doesn't go anywhere. But if you repost it, it sends it out to your followers? Also, hashtags ARE important here, correct? I am pretty new here.

I'm thinking back to a few weeks ago, when the #tlskychat was about poetry. I said that the rhymey stuff gets to me, but this presents it differently. I read a book this week that rhymed and their enthusiasm was infectious.

I love the New York Times!

It was just not in the cards this week, doing the chat. I get up extremely early so when I participate I have to stay up late to do it. I've been exhausted this week! Last full week! #tlsky #tlskychat

We have 6 days left with students and 7 days left of school. Two days after that, I am going to Europe for a month! I am excited and exhausted!! #tlsky #tlskychat

Nice image! Did someone draw that?

Love it! Although I believe Aru Shah is taken... Maybe Haru Shah? You could do a Weird Al Yankovic kinda thing.

I so agree with you here! Sometimes that is easier said than done, I would like to work on taking better notes so that I remember the details that teachers tell me!

A calendar background with a sticky note pinned to the 9th says, “Let’s Chat about the End of the Year.” A barcode scanner points at the note. “WEDNESDAYS 8PM ET/5PM PT” is written in bold purple at the top. Decorative graphics include a chart, book-reading child, smiling avocados, and the #TLSkyChat logo.

By the way, I was listening to the Rex Ogle episode on my way home tonight and I loved it! His story is so touching! Now I want to read Free Lunch! I haven't read it yet!
