Just reminding you that you don’t have to go to holiday things if you don’t want to!

You might not want to see someone who is there, THERE’S STILL A PANDEMIC HAPPENING, you’re tired, or you just wanna stay home. It’s okay!

@misskubelik I had some for the library that came from pflag I think? Designed for classrooms though.

Teachers & librarians! @tracisorell and I are making our "Rethinking Thanksgiving" virtual author visit available to all for the month of Nov. There's no cost but please pay it forward by donating to groups that support Native writers/readers if you can!

@misskubelik Small size are def the "cooler" buttons. However, the bigger size was also popular with the teens who wanted to actually design/collage/write on their button. Creatively hole-punching weeded comics and manga for the weirdest out of context button was the best for 1".

I've been going off on picture books recently... there's so much to discuss! Here's my latest blog where I break down where we were and progress the industry has made. #DisruptTexts

also acquiring books by black authors for lots of money but then not pushing them the way you push white books is :) racist :) and fucked up :) and doesn't count as diversifying lol

2 years ago I did a series of interviews on non-library jobs for LIS (library and information science) workers, including librarians

Check them ALL out if you need ideas on often better paying careers outside #LibraryJobs ie: #LISJobs

@misskubelik I would say 98% of the reason I picked those books up as a kid was the creepy cover and this makes me so sad!

Fall is upon us. Unfortunately, in addition to pumpkins, changing leaves, and sweaters, fall also brings the trifecta of holidays that appropriate, misrepresent, and spread lies about Indigenous peoples and our histories: Columbus Day, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. 🧵:

Dropping Covid mitigation measures has other illnesses popping right on back/up.
Please keep washing your hands, staying home (if you can) and masking!

Super important thread on the (in)credibility of the “learning loss” narrative…

TLDR: lacks evidence and test comparisons show no significant difference

[Siri H. @LibrarySiri]

Fantastic opportunity from @WAStateLib for teacher librarians! Fantastic presenters, virtual, free and clock hours eligible: https://t.co/6wH27GsuZc

@misskubelik @malindalo extremely jealous rn

[Sari Beth Rosenberg @saribethrose]

It’s not a teacher shortage problem.

It’s a you disrespected, underpaid & demonized teachers so they resigned from the profession problem.

[Jo Knowles @JoKnowles]

Banning books does not protect children. It punishes those who are “different”, silences the abused, and erases those who aren’t white. That’s what the current push is about: punishment, power, and control. #FReadom

I'm not saying it's right. I'm not saying it's fair. It's not.

The government has completely abandoned their public health response

That doesn't mean we have to abandon each other, too
