The need to weed is real. #Weed your collection.

Read with your eyes or fingertips or ears. Read above or below “your reading level.” Read what you enjoy. Read to be entertained or informed. Read to see yourself or another world. JUST PLEASE READ!#ireadbannedbooks

@FreedomOkla @PLEGC If proposed policy changes are accepted, it seems @CityofEnid & @PLEGC will be opening themselves to 1st Amendment lawsuits. #AWellBalancedLibraryHasSomethingToOffendEverybody

@okayalexewald While not asking to ban books, the board WAS requesting censoring of exhibits and programming.

@Scoutlady42 @FReadomFighters @ALALibrary @RightToReadTX @TXLA @TxASL I’m perusing Twitter while sipping tea from my #BannedBooks mug!

Are you ready for April 12 - Drop Everything and Read a Banned Book Day? Hold an event, assemble a group, read w/family or just read one yourself. Take a photo and share w/hashtag #FReadom! @ALALibrary @RightToReadTX @TXLA @TxASL

@TheriLynne You are strong. You are brave. You are kind. You are wise. You are doing a great job and I am proud of you!

@MetalLib87 He WAS doing better (with sitting up or waving or holding board books or whatever). You and your wife have to do what’s right for YOUR family. Period. That being said, a pediatrician can help determine if there’s a medical reason for the sleep issues. All the best to your family!

[BadAssBookJockey @CathyBenge1]

@MetalLib87 Our first was the same. He was an infant during the Ferber-ization of parenting...aka crying it out. Instead of my son’s crying decreasing each night, he increased! He also was hoarse the next morning! 😭 Turns out he had acid reflux and GERD. There were things we could do...

[BadAssBookJockey @CathyBenge1]

@MetalLib87 As humans, we don’t know the future (darn it!!) so we make the best decisions based on that moment in time.

Thank people for their advice. And when you get tired of unsolicited advice, might I suggest letting folks know “he’s doing so much better!”

[BadAssBookJockey @CathyBenge1]

@MetalLib87 both non medicated as well as prescription meds. One was that he stayed calmer and actually slept while sitting up! So, despite all the then-current trends and well-intentioned friends and family’s advice, I did what I needed to do for that moment. For that afternoon or night...

I was so excited to find my @casadesante box waiting for me when I got home from work! As I took out the purchases, however, I learned two were broken and one had leaked. Can you please direct me to the correct department or person to help me get replacements?

[BadAssBookJockey @CathyBenge1]

@StarbucksCare Thank you for reaching out, Kristine!

[BadAssBookJockey @CathyBenge1]

Why did I use the @Starbucks app this morning? It’s ten min after it was supposed to be ready and I’m still waiting. Good lord.

#okc Twitter - I am in need of a graphic design pro who is willing to spend a day or two talking with my classes @SehsSpartans from 7:30 to 11:00. Help bring up the next generation of design pros, please.

[BadAssBookJockey @CathyBenge1]

@khrista_lou @Starbucks So disappointed in @Starbucks here. Inconsistent quality, inconsistent service. I love the ease of ordering online, but it didn’t help ONE iota, today. Probably would’ve been faster had I just ordered in line. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
