Tattoo of Frog laying on his tummy listening to Toad read from a red book. He is wearing some amazing yellow and orange stripped pants.

Added Frog and Toad to my book arm yesterday, and I am so in love ❤️ 🐸

I was just telling a coworker today that this is the goal of school choice. Getting rid of the Dept. of Ed is a short road to segregated schools.

Repeat after me.

Eliminating the Department of Education will hurt public schools and the kids who need help the most, AND THAT IS THE POINT.

Cover of the book Surviving Hitler: a Boy in the Nazi Death Camps by Andrea Warren

A student of mine has started reading this book. Today, she said, "This book is making me mad." I answered, "Good. You should be mad. You should definitely be mad." It was a little light of hope in an otherwise very dark week.

I'm torn between the two! I think I may need to cocoon first and then fight.

Looks like I'll be disassociating as soon as I get home to avoid the trash pile our country is right now. Should I pick a horror or romance book?

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we mourn the six million Jewish people and countless others who were murdered in the Holocaust by the forces of hate and bigotry.

Now more than ever, we cannot be silent in the face of evil. #NeverAgain

I just finished A Daring Arrangement and loved this man! Fictional robber barons are definitely better! ❤️

Just a little extreme cold day off from school reading. Almost halfway through Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix and the truth bombs are being dropped. 🤯 I'm here for it.

My guy, creating patriots sounds a whole lot like creating little soldiers that you can sacrifice to your Christian nationalism. But please, do go on about how teachers are the ones indoctrinating kids.
In reality, we just want them to be able to read and write 💔
Side note, this mentality is scary.

The Silent Companions by Luara Purcell

The Silent Companions by Luara Purcell opened to page 259, accompanied by a sleepy dog and football on a TV in the background .

First read of 2025! The Silent Companions by Luara Purcell Creepy and atmospheric.

I'm not huge into highlander romance, but these posts are definitely making me want to give Lynsay Sands another try.

Immediately added to my kindle...

The Night Guest by Hildur Knutsdottir held in front of a little up Christmas tree with presents underneath.

Finally diving into The Night Guest by Hildur Knutsdottir.

Season's Readings!

Thank you, everyone, for your "best of" book lists. My tbr has quadrupled, but I'm here for it. I'll need all those books to escape the reality that is America. Can't wait to read even more in 2025.

I've got a lot of crypto dudes, super religious dudes, and dudes saying they're from Gaza following me. And my naive ass isn't sure if I should block them or just let them follow me.

I'm reading this right now and really enjoying it!

Enough books to gift my 6th graders with a book of their own right before winter break and at the end of the school year.

Life goal

Please be delicate with me I’m built like a nature valley bar

Being a parent must be so hard I feel like every single time I got home and there was some kid there I’d just be like fuuuuuuck

This needs to be EVERYWHERE - LOUD AND CLEAR!! #ChuckandJim #ThePoor

I hadn't even thought of this! I was already worrying about the impact on the future of my husband's job, but this is terrible!

What real human person is going to say, "If I get fired, I'm ok with it" in this situation? I'll take Things That Have Never Happened for $2000.

From Nikki Giovanni, may she rest in power.

We’re cancelling the guilty part of guilty pleasures. Wanna read romance books and drink cheap wine? Valid. Watch the trashiest reality show and scroll through Amazon? I support this. Listen to the same early 2000s pop song a thousand times in a row? Why stop there? Find that joy and SQUEEZE.
