May your tomorrow be brighter!

I'm baa-ack! And torn between "And so it begins" and "This is where the fun begins".

All the things I'm trying to get read and returned to the library before the Masters takes over my life...

Recent new arrivals!
I stumbled upon the Irish Kidlit for Palestine appeal a couple weeks ago and somehow ended up with these arriving in the post :) Both beautifully personalised with notes and art and i can't wait to dig in!

Finished reading this over the weekend. I bought it for a friend due to a staff picks note on the bookshelf. Was totally enthused at when I went to pay... so picked up a library copy :) Worth the enthusiasm and first book in a while I've voraciously "consumed".

I'd say Gen X. We're using it with our cohort - and inflicting its use on our kids who are only using it for family groups and such.

He thinks women who support trans rights are “ready to pin a handmaiden down while her husband rapes her.” No one’s “cancelling” him; we just don’t want to be associated with him.

CDC building with red circles marking many bullet holes in the glass office windows
Thanks to RFKJ’s rhetoric, CDC staff got our “shots” early this year.
Dark humor aside, live posting our way through this domestic terrorism event at a Federal agency was scary.
180 bullets, an officer lost his life, and workers are traumatized.
Why the fu** isn’t this getting more attention?
Every right to be proud of this! Hopefully they'll fall down the rabbit hole of all the neighbouring books on the shelf once they do finish it :)
