Thank you to all the librarians out there doing your thing in these trying days. In honor of my gramma, you are appreciated.

Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.

Here’s what a “Community Responder Model” instead of traditional policing might look like. They’re trying it in part of Brooklyn and… it’s working. I’m not saying it’s the solution, but it is a learning opportunity. And knowledge is power! #TikTok https://t.co/BYpxuYkC4s

I don't know why this hasn't received more publicity, but this fifty-foot sculpture was unveiled recently in South Dakota.
It's called 'Dignity' and was done by artist Dale Lamphere to honor the women of the Sioux Nation.

One thing I realized is that everything always ends up working out. Sometimes even better than you can imagine. Remember this when you feel like you’re in a hard place or you feel like you’re being challenged the most. Believe in where you’re headed. See the bigger picture.

Don't get it twisted.

Disagreeing doesn’t always make one person right and the other wrong, sometimes people just think differently and that’s ok❤️ The world would be pretty boring if we all thought the same way❤️. #spreadlove #tabithabrown

My 3 year anniversary is next weekend, and I plan to celebrate. My recovery remains ongoing, but I am blessed by people around me who believe me, care about me, and keep their eyes and ears open to continuously learn. #LongCovid #March18 https://t.co/tRlBEAXN6F

No questions asked. You would’ve known this — had they taught it to you in school.

@MerriamWebster Guinea pig. Siri had to help me reply to this string. Also, i am not ashamed, not even a little bit. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Dr. Brooke Harris-Thomas @BrookeEdu]

i've been conducting my dissertation interviews with black girls in middle school. one question i ask is where do they feel the most like they belong when at school. so many girls have mentioned the library, so i went to check it out with one participant.

@bunsenbernerbmd Trooper is not a fan of the plastic air pillows that come in Amazon packaging. He also doesn’t like kiddie pool sprinklers. For Delilah, it’s simple - vacuums of any kind.
