In a similar vein, I got a robot vacuum for Christmas and my young adult (21) took to programming it, scheduling it, and running it to the different level of our house. Just now though I got a notification that it's wheels were jammed. No one is home. Hope a cat didn't get too close. 🫣
Indeed! I'm hoping for awesome and absolutely cheering him on.
After reading your thread yesterday, I'm sending all the good juju I've got!
Vice President Harris and Douglas Emhoff watch fireworks at the White House on July 4, 2024.
This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.
But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.
Are you me?! I keep buying them thinking I'll wear them, but when I do, I'm self conscious the whole day. I finally found a length of shorts this year that really suits me, so I'm going to take that win.
#HappyPride for the next 335 days, too.

I understand that. Bins are a great idea.
Oooh, I should've read more carefully. I think interfiling the graphic novels is a great idea. Our organization is heavily suggested at a district level, so I don't know that I could try that, but I really do hope it goes gangbusters for you.
My library was genrefied two years ago. My students responded so well to it. I wish you tremendous success with it!
We were just a bit farther west on 100 S. We heard the gunshots, but thought they were fireworks. Cops ran past us saying get out of the area or in to City Creek. Makes me sad that such a vibe is now tainted.
We're bringing the whole family!
Um...yep.
Happy Pride month
There's a fantastic picture book biography called Headstrong Hallie. My students have loved learning about her!
Yes!

This thread was beautifully written. I feel so much of this as I have shrugged off a religious tradition that no longer fit.
program with the Artemis 1 mission in 2022. Today, our school received our very own Moon Tree from NASA and USFS. Books make magic, and school libraries are important. 2/2

2.5 years ago I, as our school librarian, was contacted by the author of this book because there was a Moon Tree near our school. My students and I were captivated by this information. The original Moon Trees were grown from seeds that traveled to the moon on Apollo 14. NASA restarted the 1/2

I'm somewhere in that video with my kid. It was good to be there. My favorite part was when we spontaneously burst out in song with Pink Pony Club. 🏳️🌈
This is the content I am here for.
@utahsla.bsky.social Yahoo! You're here on BlueSky! I've been looking for you.
Just found out the PTA gave me $75 to spend at the book fair, and I'm wondering how many Lamborghini posters and chocolate scented calculators I can get.
Dammit
Senator Curtis I saw what you had to say about the illegal firings of federal employees. The fact that you would so glibly pass this off as needed to reduce government spending is preposterous. Federal employee salaries make up a measly 4% of the budget. And that you then hide behind platitudes like compassion enrages me. We both know there are appropriate and legal ways to RIF federal empolyees and that is not happening. Senator you said "the people voted for this". I assure you no one voted for Elon Musk. Stop being such a coward and use your voice to stand up to fascism and a man who now apparently thinks he's king of the US.
Text of the voicemail I left for John Curtis this morning. Call your reps! I know it's scary, and honestly, why? He's just some rando like me. It gets easier the more you call.
It's been a lot of years since I read it, but I think Gerald Lund referenced this in his book Fire of the Covenant. He has the bishop of Blanding saying "sticky tootie" or something like that in his Scandinavian accent.
The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.
