Please, send messages of support and send your concerns, but don't send hate to my Republican colleges! Please don't assume you know where they are on a bill, and invite them to be with us!#considercompassion #everytime

"We need funding for our schools to stay open five days a week and to pay the teachers a living wage. We need infrastructure like roads and bridges. We need jobs. We need healthcare. We need daycare." jesspiper.substack.com/p/the-tiktok...

One more IC Downtown #hotcocoacrawl in the books! Although fewer stores participate than some past years, the organizing went super smoothly (from a customer perspective!), and I enjoyed a bunch of super tasty drinks (including Molly's cocoa with homemade ice cream) and found some great deals!

I'm waiting for the new shelving to dry (scrubbed with oil soap and disinfectant, because I found one (1) mouse turd). So I'm going through miscellaneous papers found in the books we're beginning to process. Here's a note from Herself: "When you skip voting, it's not rebellion. It's surrender."

HSB242 doesn't make Iowa's schools #1 again. It doesn't feed Iowans, or clothe them, or house then. It doesn't lower costs, and it DOESN'T FIX A PROBLEM. F***ing #considercompasion, won't you, please?? www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/...

In #IADist89, we want to see people safe and thriving in vibrant communities. That means making sure that EVERYONE has housing that is secure, accessible, and long-term. #considercompassion

This binder ably served me through my first term in the legislature, but it's rapidly falling apart, and I'm officially retiring it today. 😭

Elsworth Carman, Library Director, came all the way to the #ialegis to present accurate information about the library's policies for determining what to include in (and exclude from) the collection. SO grateful for our local voices! <3

Visits this morning from Common Good Iowa and Kirkwood Community College (as part of Community College Day on the Hill💕)! Always so helpful to hear from home on topics like Medicaid, property taxes, continuing education, and so much more!

Excellent presentation from Dr. Richard Deming, a Navy medical graduate from Creighton who worked in underwater medicine, then went into oncology. He's now at MercyOne, and the founder of Above+Beyond Cancer.

This year’s specials infuse the joy of eating, the life of different cultures and plenty of variety into an experience that can only be savored one bite (or sip) at a time. Read the review: www.thegazette.com/restaurants/...

Angela Pilkington, Children's Services Coordinator at ICPL, came all the way to the #ialegis to present her information about what is an isn't present in the library's Children's Collection. SO grateful that she came, and wanted to ensure she was heard after the subcommittee ran out of time.

Bundle, bundle, bundle, y'all! The temperatures over the next few days are no joke. I don't want a single resident of #iadist89 to end up with frostbitten ears and fingers!

If the GOP wants to tell me how to teach, perhaps they should not cite an opinion article as a factual source? This is a concept even my middle schoolers can grasp! Maybe their staff would know this if they actually funded our public schools beyond the rate of inflation? 🤷🏻‍♂

Y'all have shown me you know how to get out the word and COMMENT on bad bills! Public libraries need our voices, strong and clear! Remember, the books in library are voluntary inquiry- NO ONE IS FORCED TO READ ANYTHING IN ANY LIBRARY! 📢 Speak Up for Iowa’s Public Libraries & Education! 📢
