But at least I can say useful things now. The correct response was: "She designs sweaters for cats" (not "cat sweaters"). 🤷🏾‍♀️😽 #Duolingo

In case you're wondering what happens on #Duolingo when you reach 1,000 days in a row, it's a nothingburger. The owl looks slightly more excited and asks you to set your next milestone. Who else is a long-termer?

Genuine question. If #Mamdani were to become mayor of NYC and supports #BDS citywide, would that mean that no Israeli technology would be purchased with municipal funding? If yes, what would the next option be: Chinese?

The impact of proposed federal #TaxCuts for #TribalColleges would be "extremely dire." Federal funding provides core support for these 37 schools. Administration's current plan will shred annual funding from $196 million (2025) to $22 million (2026). ictnews.org/news/impact-... #Indigenous #NDN

Readers, the new Vera Wong book by Jesse Q. Sutanto & narrated on audiobook by Eunice Wong is so good-- and funny. It's my 100th book this year and will definitely be on my Best Books of the Year list. Sutanto and Wong are a gifted pair. Recommendations for next reads? #Booksky #Goodreads #Books

#Eurovision: Estonia's "Espresso Macchiato" has the exact same energy as America's Got Talent's song, "Parmesan." Compare: youtu.be/5MS_Fczs_98?... #AGT: m.youtube.com/watch?v=F7Dg...

We are disappointed for Texas teens that Tx House just passed HB3225. This would restrict Tx teenagers from using adult books in the library, including classic novels. Pregnant teens can't access books on childbirth. 250 years of libraries in this country without age restrictions until now. Scary.

[Content warning] I am reading Pamela Anderson's, "Love, Pamela" and am finding it a difficult go. Well told & completely worthy as a read, but so much sexual violence. I am up to the point where she's just graduated high school. Can someone share if things improve? #Booksky #Books #WomensLives

Visiting colleges this week with my high schooler. Here's my observation about Massachusetts schools: they are vocal in actively advocating for #LGBTQ, #DEI & first generation students. I feel #pride in hoping we can serve as a safe shelter for students around the country and welcome them home. 🌈

I find the mullein plant comforting. Its soft, fuzzy leaves are soothing to touch. Pleasant in its symmetry. Resilient, growing in degraded soils, like parking lots. #HerbalMedicine: abundant benefits for respiratory system, boosting immunity, ear infections; leaves can be used as natural bandages.

👋🏽 #LibraryLover here. Love idea of book group for #introverts where they sit quietly & read together, but different #books. My local library has a craft circle where you can bring whatever project you're working on. Important: community efforts to assuage #loneliness. brookline.news/introvert-ap...

Watch: Boston Mayor Michelle Wu joins a mom on her morning commute to bring her child to daycare, on trash day and via public transportation. It shouldn't feel revolutionary, but it does. (1) @wutrain.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DIi-ieO...
