Those moments with students where the lightbulb turns on after they’ve struggled with a concept. The best feeling in the world is when they realize they are capable of putting the pieces together themselves.

Listen I know shit sucks but PLEASE find the things that make you happy and keep doing them. It is not frivolous. It is how you survive.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

It’s Tuesday… which means it’s #kidlitchat day here on Bluesky (at 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific). Come spend an hour with your #kidlit community. Limber up your fingers. Bring dessert (leftovers always okay!). Or lurk, if you want. The real point is that I hope you join us!

The Rhapsody in Blue was written in just weeks, and premiered #OTD with #Gershwin at the #piano. As a joke, the clarinetist played the opening with a huge glissando, really 'stretching' the notes out. But Gershwin liked it. He decided to keep it. #wednesday #goodvibes #jazz

Former children’s librarian and now education librarian here… yeah, this is a no. Nothing about designating books like this will help our nation’s literacy scores.

While things feel horrific right now (because they are), remember to laugh. There is still humor. It is part of how we will survive this.

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

Absolutely NOT the solution. Do not waste the time and energy of librarians buying copies of the book. You advocate for better budgets for the library. People need digital materials and they deserve them. This is not the solution. You've misread the problem here.

Saying it louder: Utah has banned TWO MORE BOOKS from public schools in the entire state. These are YA books that were available only to high schoolers. TWO schools in the state are responsible for over 80% of the state-mandated book bans. So much for "local control."

If a Democrat fired 100 FAA employees and put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers 8 days before an airport plane crash, there would be a right-wing and media frenzy for weeks.
