I'm contemplating putting up a profile on Upwork or Fiverr in order to get some beta reading gigs. Summer vacation is long and this could be a great way to stay productive. Has anyone out there had success finding work as a part-time beta reader? 📚💙

"What was a policeman, if not a civilian with a uniform and a badge? But they tended to use the term these days as a way of describing people who were not policemen. It was a dangerous habit: once policemen stopped being civilians, the only other thing they could be was soldiers." - Sam Vimes 💙📚

4.5 stars 📚💙 Loved it in a way that hit me viscerally. Previous Grady Hendrix novels that I've read tended to veer towards camp in a way that I didn't quite enjoy, but still found intriguing. This is my big pay off for pushing through.

Yesterday's teacher appreciation gift from the Superintendent: cold and concealed buffalo wings, 4 per person, no plates or napkins in sight. Awful, messy, I touch both paper and grimy students with these hands. I do not want this.

Robin Wall Kimmerer and Cordelia Bähr were just named to the TIME100 list — and rightly so! But did you know they were already part of an even more exclusive circle? Both have knitting patterns inspired by their work + named in their honour: here's the Braiding Sweetgrass socks & Cordelia set! 🧶

It's always disappointing when I have to remove books from my classroom. But when a bulk order arrived with these 3 mixed in, I knew that the content just wasn't appropriate for my students. Time to donate these to the local library. #EduSky 💙📚

"The Fellowship of the Ring" by JRR Tolkein 5/5 stars, but we knew that 💙📚 This is my first time rereading it since high school, and I'm falling in love again. Think my husband will be OK with me digging out my old poster of Aragorn and hanging it in its rightful spot above our bed?

The fact that Barron Trump goes to NYU, and not, say, Hillsdale College or the University of Austin really says it all. These people desperately want the imprimatur of the elite institutions of higher education they claim to disdain.
