So many hilarious twists and turns in this graphic-novel style picture book, GEODUCK IS NOT A DUCK, by #CandyWellins and @elliepeterson.bsky.social. I learned what a geoduck is in a really fun way. Loved the illustrations!

Anyone else occasionally have to delete certain games off all their devices because they are getting too obsessed? If so, which game(s)? For me, this was: Pokemon Go Stardew Valley Nowadays, I go thru ebb & flow re: gaming obsessions. Zelda: BOTW & TOTK was my most recent (so many hours!)

New Hampshire's governor Chris Sununu decided to pull his nominee for State Librarian. Why? Because she opposed book bans. America in 2024. Your librarian cannot even do their goddamn job. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2024...

Many familiar frequently banned in TX school districts books on this list. If laws are resulting in the removals of Eric Carle’s Draw Me a Star, Toni Morrison’s The Bluest eye, Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five, & Squad by @maggietokudahall.bsky.social - the laws are the problem- not the books.
