@NYCDOEOLS @missyji @ExLibrisVTH I don’t often comment, but simply had to acknowledge that this is a flat out brilliant approach. Thank you, @missyji and @ExLibrisVTH, and as always the work of the remarkable @barbarastripling leads the way. Love it.

Not only will Florida subsidize your Disney family vacation if you homeschool (the irony), you can also buy a big screen television, a trampoline, and a kayak while Florida’s public schools are among the worst-funded in the country

Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to perform with @choirchoirchoir live at @LincolnCenter for the Performing Arts in New York City, so of course I had to sing my all-time favorite song. C'mon, sing along with me! You know the words... 🪕 🌈

@jenniferlagarde @annvega @MrSchuReads @ProfessorNana Seldom reply to tweets b/c of a public shaming after an honest mistake some years ago, but I must make an exception for the exceptional Library Girl! Hope I get to introduce you again before my SL “shelf” life expires. 🥰

[Susan Ballard @nholb]

@jenniferlagarde P.S. I am already an “unhinged librarian” my soon-to-be new Twitter handle will be the “Unleashed Librarian” - grrrrrr.

[Susan Ballard @nholb]

@jenniferlagarde My professional “use by” expiration date is in sight! Stay tuned!

@mikeusherr @rickygervais It’s been awhile since I have engaged on Twitter (bit of a issue w/Covid); but while am a fan of @rickygervais, seeing the amazing @JaneFallon smiling in the background makes this pic more special. She is the epitome of #bosslady. Best to your sister - #sistersgettingitdone.

[Susan Ballard @nholb]

@StephenKing Also, Thanksgrieving.

[Susan Ballard @nholb]

Wow! Just what I needed even though I “dinna” know it.

This is gorgeous, and perhaps a harbinger of good times ahead.
