Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and the services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend money is so important to so many people

Working as fast as I can to download all 481 of my Kindle ebooks to my computer so I can use them on a Kobo and #ditchamazon. Deadline 2/26 FYI. It's painful bec I just bought a new Kindle a few months ago, but I feel gross using Amazon products now. #booksky #resist

Well, NW OH finally got enough snow to need shoveling twice this week. I'm over it. I'm reminded of last summer when I was so over the unrelenting heat. 🤷‍♀️ Dreaming of someplace where it's always 72 and partly cloudy... natureismytherapy.com/2024/08/12/r... #butterfly #gardening #nature 🦋 🌿

On this snowy Ohio day, I'm reading Robin Wall Kimmerer's newest book, The Serviceberry. Here are some pics of the birds feasting on this wonderful native shrub in my garden last spring. Highly recommend adding this shrub to your garden! #Amelanchier #booksky #reading #nativeplants #bookshop.org

Our congressional delegation pursuing oversight on reports of Elon Musk’s illegal activity at USAID was just barred from entering the building on the orders of Musk and the Trump Administration. Nobody elected Musk — this is illegal and corrupt and we will keep fighting it.

Illinoisans are going to pay the price for Donald Trump’s tariffs on our largest trading partners. Let's call it what it is: Trump’s Tax on Working Families. And when people lose jobs because of it, that's the biggest tax of all.

It’s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits.    He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.   Congress must investigate.

For my fellow Americans, I offer a movie suggestion for your self-care time: Lars and the Real Girl. The premise may seem silly at first glance but there are important lessons in it. Gets me in the gut every time I watch it. Take care of each other in these heartbreaking times. #movies #selfcare

When someone shares deeply felt emotions you didn't know they were feeling, that is them being vulnerable with you. They're taking a risk, sharing something they've kept guarded, because they believe they can trust you. See that as a compliment but also a sensitive moment, and treat it accordingly.

Oh, I almost missed #FlyFriday! This broad-banded hornet fly is a fantastic hornet mimic, and check out those wild 👀. (Spilomyia alcimus) Hover flies are some of my favorite garden friends here in NW Ohio. 🌺 #insectphotography #Ohio #diptera #hoverfly #syrphidae

For #InsectThursday, enjoy this lovely (presumed) Gyponana gladia, a member of the typical leafhopper family, #Cicadellidae. Their piercing sucking mouthparts allow them to feed on sap from plant leaves and stems. And oh boy, can they jump! #insectphotography #bugsky #insect #nature #Ohio
