A school librarian who loves all things weird and wonderful, the Discworld, graphic novels, a good laugh, games, puzzles, coding, podcasts, hiking, and animals. But not fish. She is afraid of fish. Also people over profits.

Filming federal agents in public is legal, but avoiding a dangerous—even deadly—confrontation isn’t guaranteed. Here’s how to record ICE and CBP agents as safely as possible and have an impact.
The extreme sport of ultrarunning is known for seemingly impossible feats. But Stephanie Case's recent performance — six months after giving birth — is making waves far beyond the running community.

Bryan Stevenson goes on to say "I'm not naïve. I don't believe that beautiful things like that always happen when we do tell the truth. But I do believe that we deny ourselves the beauty of justice when we refuse to tell the truth."

One of these two is "white," the other is "othered."
I'm confused. I thought the state was not going to sign but instead write a letter saying that we are following all current laws. Did something change?
Almost every day since Trump2.0, I end my day with checking the news, possibly with a little doom scrolling, then going over to the #Discworld Reddit to enjoy some sanity, humor, and hope. Then going to bed to read more Pratchett. Thank the fucking gods for Terry Pratchett. #GNU
Roberts might end up as THE worst chief justice we've ever had. And that's saying A LOT!
School librarian detective skill activated tonight as I start watching The Residence on Netflix. The opening titles look familiar and I knew without a doubt they were created by Maria Kalman (author/illustrator of Listening to Lincoln, What Pete Ate A to Z, and more) and I turned out to be right!

Shout-out to all the school libraries that provided me with safety and familiarity. Those sanctuaries of plushy chairs, good-smelling books and sweet-mannered librarians.

America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.
This administration wants the public uneducated so they can do whatever they want. This is why they target libraries.
Wanna see joy? Go to a PK storytime at your local library and just soak in the love.
I absolutely loved that book. It would be a great shame to deprive readers of such a gem.
Well, fuck. I'm beyond disappointed.
I could be wrong but it looks like a male Cooper's Hawk to me.
It looks like a hawk of some kind
Sad that this shit is still happening but I feel this and might have to go write my own anti-acknowledgements for some catharsis bc whew.

I would like to know why Dems didn't choose you, Bernie, for their official response? I really cannot think of anyone better for the job. Keep at 'em.
