What a week…this country is imploding, my husband has been in the hospital and I had an exam to give to my students. I need a break.

Pretty much sums it up

Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚

Seems apt

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

Dined with my wife, and so both of us to church again, where we had an Oxford man give us a most impertinent sermon upon “Cast your bread upon the waters,” &c.

"What happened last night is the most direct assault on the authority of Congress, I believe, in the history of the United States. It is blatantly unconstitutional," Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) says of Trump's OMB halting all federal grants. "If this stands, then Congress may as well adjourn."

Yep

UK ETA app was so easy to use. Approval was a breeze too. I’m good to go until 2027 now :)

No idea what's going on here but everybody seems to be enjoying themselves, and that's the main thing.

Medal to commemorate the execution of Charles I 30 Jan 1649. A diamond on an anvil. Thomas Rawlins 1649 (British Museum) "Trial of these Diamants upon a smith's Anvill …first flieth the hammer that smiteth in pieces & the very anvill itselfe underneath cleaveth in twaine."

Our weather forecast has snow for next week. This is crazy. Everything will shut down. #louisiana

Another day and school children aren’t safe in this country.

Yes

Today’s tasks give 2 final exams and one faculty meeting.

Women preachers in the 17th c. My research interests would have been horrified.

Morning commute cup🤣🤣🤣

I’d love this

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. 5-7/20 #BookSky #BookChallenge Late posting
