Happy Valentines Day.
Love can be many things and come in many forms. I hope you get to celebrate love in exactly the way you want today (and everyday).
My love language right now is reading until I fall asleep for a nap 😴 💝

Courage is something all school #librarians need especially when we confront the doubt we have about ourselves. Grateful to @goodreads.bsky.social for this conversation

Putting the finishing touches on tomorrow's #episode. If you haven't heard my conversation with @goodreads.bsky.social, #schoollibrarians everywhere will find this vulnerable and candid look into our professional selves to be so necessary and relatable. bit.ly/4o0J2A0

"Kids are dying from gun violence, not books. Families are being evicted. Schools lack counselors. Teachers are leaving the profession in droves. No child has ever died from a book, but many like me have been saved by one." - Rep. Christina Morales speaking against SB 13, the Book Ban Bill. #txlege
I said that about Jen/ifers! 🤣
I had a wonderful time this morning with @girlscouts Overseas as a guest. We did a timely #storybookSTEM with Wangari’s Trees of Peace, and made our own forest from household materials. Thank you for having me as your final STEM superhero for the 24-25 season!

A bright spot of news in this weird Tuesday. I can announce I am the 2025-2026 Chair of the Texas Library Association Awards Committee!

Disappointed in Humble ISD.
Okay, I'll say it: Tonight has been an absolute DRUBBING for Texas book banners. Texas voters stood up and said clearly that they're sick of trustees demonizing teachers. They rejected the absurd policing of libraries & books that has plagued our state for years.
A little bit of #library and a little bit of life 💝
A federal judge agreed Thursday to temporarily block the Trump administration from taking any more steps to dismantle an agency that funds and promotes libraries across the U.S.

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver
Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
I'm excited to have an article published in the Spring 2025 issue of the TLA Journal! Linked below, the article is a culmination of my public relations work within my Amazon Future Engineer Teacher Ambassador program this year. #AFETeacher
