Good ways to get children to read: 1. Read aloud to them from babyhood onwards. 2. If it's too late for that, read when they're around. 3. Read a cool mix of stuff. Grab a graphic novel about your favourite historical or current topic. (There are lots of them around.)

Ida Wells was born enslaved but refused to live in fear. She wielded the power of the press to expose America’s greatest terror—lynching. When the truth made her a target, she didn’t back down. She co-founded the NAACP, fought for Black women’s voting rights, and left a legacy of resistance!

If you are so inclined to seek peace in the Bible might I recommend Psalm 10. I found some peace for these troubled times. "The wicked arrogantly hunt down the poor. Let them be caught in the evil they plan for others."

@briantylercohen.bsky.social This guy's indefensible words need to be everywhere. I am curious if he supports raising the minimum wage since kids should be supporting themselves instead of enjoying being a kid.

One thing I am absolutely loving on #Bluesky is all the support for libraries and their critical role in keeping our society free and educated. I was raised in a family of librarians and have served on the Board of our local Friends group for 6 years. It warms my heart to see library love.

Finding out about the Libby app last year completely changed my life. I love being able to borrow books from the library right to my kindle. It is good stuff and why I was able to read so many books last year.
