Kid: I just got back from NYC and I went to Chuckie Cheese. Me: Ugh. I think their pizza tastes like cardboard. Kid: Cardboard?! I thought it was good! Me: No way. Kid: Erin? When’s the last time you had school pizza. THAT is cardboard. Me: Fair, my dude. Fair.
the way those Wakefield sisters with their aquamarine eyes had a hold on me in my teenage years
Decided it was a good day to swap out my fall/winter clothes for my spring/summer clothes and thought it was a good opportunity to listen to TTPD so naturally I’m halfway through and there are clothes everywhere and all I want to do is sit and read the lyrics as I listen.
Fellow folks who don’t like animals to die: buy leather secondhand. It’ll be better quality, and you’re not driving the need for new product to get made. Plus, older leather is already broken in and soft and lovely.

It is eerily calm considering we're hosting a T Swift party in 19 minutes....
Found a bottle of Benadryl from last March which was a big reminder I always forget to start taking allergy medication early enough.
the incredible part here is that this is considered brave truth telling in the usa and basic non debatable facts literally everywhere else

Getting the library's T Swift release party together and I asked my superfans for their favorite songs and we magically stopped at 13!

Hey, want to learn about making your storytime exciting ?
I will take any and all good vibes that I am the lucky one out of 42 who gets this apartment I just saw…
Mychal: "Are you Arthur Read?" Arthur: "Yeah! How'd you know?" Mychal: "I would recognize those glasses anywhere!" P.S. A most wonderful kind of #NationalLibraryDay collab is coming Saturday! @mychal3ts @arthurpbs
"How do you not know who had a purple lightsaber? I thought you said you watched all the movies?!" Getting shamed by 3rd graders. As one does.
A 4 year old asked if our Lego Tuesday challenge could be Star Wars themed and I happily obliged so we've got a lotta lightsabers in the making!
And for everyone saying “yeah, but legal!!” may I once again remind you that seeking asylum is legal, too. Have a good day!
Readers Theatre is the most bestest library program ever and I love it forever and ever.
Last night, library workers in Prattville locked the building in protest of the firing of their director. The director refused to remove 113 LGBTQ+ books the board wanted gone.

I don't believe "critical lens" teaching EVER succeeds with kids when it's their first immersive reading experience about some people. We're teaching them that these books' viewpoints are simply true, whatever a teacher's intention might be. Few ADULTS can read critically.
Tapping the sign to defer to Natives on this one. I still stand by teaching it (bc it was weird to me that we weren’t talking about it at all at my school?), but only if it’s from a critical lens. Children can absolutely tell it was never written from Juana’s perspective.
Fellow folks who don’t like animals to die: buy leather secondhand. It’ll be better quality, and you’re not driving the need for new product to get made. Plus, older leather is already broken in and soft and lovely.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but "vegan leather" is plastic.

Hey, want to learn about making your storytime exciting ?
(1/2) We have a great program coming up next month: Storytime Bootcamp with @AngelaJWrites ! This program will take place on Tuesday, May 7th at 10:00am at the Windsor Library.📚 To register, email [email protected]
Despite my own feelings about the issue, I don't love that so many of the people calling for a broadening of acceptable degrees for library work are using MBAs as their go-to example.
Mychal: "Are you Arthur Read?" Arthur: "Yeah! How'd you know?" Mychal: "I would recognize those glasses anywhere!" P.S. A most wonderful kind of #NationalLibraryDay collab is coming Saturday! @mychal3ts @arthurpbs
I understand why you and many people feel this way. But the issue is much more nuanced than this and not remotely as binary is many of you think it is. I might get on IG in a few days to talk through this, if some of you are game.
@terrelljstarr I can’t fathom Arab-Americans thinking Trump will be a better option for Palestinians….
Type "I'm a librarian and I..." and let autocomplete finish for you. Mine: I'm a librarian and I am so tired of the world being so busy.
Idk how to explain this, but this is Taylor Swift’s fault.
And for everyone saying “yeah, but legal!!” may I once again remind you that seeking asylum is legal, too. Have a good day!
Asking why Waffle House deserve $25 when teachers barely make that isn’t making the point you think it is. Livable wages aren’t a zero sum game. They’re all underpaid and they all deserve significant raises.
Had to schlep my luggage through drunken crowds because my bus unexpectedly ceased its route 1.5 miles from Union Station??? And the red line was rerouted?? What??? @ctaaction But I did stop for a frazzled selfie in front of the newly dyed river. And I did make my train! 🍀
Want to take a moment to give a shout-out to browsable non-fiction. One of my students who only reads BIG NATE ran out and idly picked up a Guinness Book of World Records and found the GIANT FOOD section. They were suddenly 600% engaged and talking to everyone about it.
I recognize that I'm very lucky to get to make the choices in life that I do. But tbh I'm struggling with the prospect of moving into an apartment where I have to collect quarters for laundry. I'm 46??! Feels bad, man.
