Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

Happy birthday to “Dispatches From The Vortex,” the @jclsor.bsky.social documentary short that gives a little insight into the mind of the man behind the Oregon Vortex tourist attraction. #libraries

The Heretic + Hexen re-release from @nightdivestudios.bsky.social is so good.

I remember watching this as a kid. 🥲

Coming soon from @jclsor.bsky.social: bit.ly/44lvN5z #libraries #librarymarketing

This is a fun piece from @midgeraymond.bsky.social.

My li'l animation of Opal, the cutest octopus of all time, is now the banner on the JCLS catalog home page. catalog.jcls.org #libraries #librarymarketing

Opal, our 2025 Rogue Reads mascot, just wanted to say good morning and happy Friday! 🐙 #libraries

As Rogue Reads kicks off at JCLS, here's a special reading of one of the program's flagship reads, "The Octopus Escapes" by Maile Meloy and Felicita Sala! #libraries

I made a new sticker for @jclsor.bsky.social’s Rogue Reads winter reading program. #libraries

Meet Opal. I’m pretty excited for Rogue Reads.

I wrote about the @jclsor.bsky.social #MangoLanguages database. #libraries

This week on the JCLS Connect Blog, learn about our #Mango database, which boasts a bunch of teaching tools to help you learn more than 70 languages — including "Pirate." Arrr. #libraries

I’m actually severely devastated about this. Poor baby. 😢

The NY/DC press corps is parody.

Here is another picture of an owl I photographed on this post. So many good ones from that day. When photographing these owls this past summer they were not afraid of me, but other birds dive bombing them. #BirdOfTheDay #posts #bird #birds #owl #owls #birdphotography #photograph #photographs

Tonight (Thursday, Nov 13) at SOU's Hannon Library - learn how to make a career as a writer from writers who are living proof that it's possible! hanlib.sou.edu/friends/lect... #writing #writinglife @ryanpfeil.bsky.social

Tonight! Would be fun to see you there!

Thank you. #VeteransDay

A piece I wrote last year for Veterans Day.

How fun! My essay essay, “No One Mourns an Unnamed Animal: Why Naming Animals Might Help Save Them,” has been translated into Italian and published by ZEST Edizioni sostenibili. #animals #ecolit www.zestletteraturasostenibile.com/non-ce-lutto...

The Guillermo del Toro “Frankenstein” adaptation was aces. Really well done.

This week's blog looks at local options for those whose SNAP benefits have been delayed — and options for others who want to help. You're not alone.

Our latest ambient storytelling video, an eerie reading of Emily Dickinson's "I heard a Fly buzz - when I died," is on our YouTube channel.

Our latest Read This! video goes bump in the night. Check it out here. 😨👻 #Halloween #libraries #booklist

Writers! It's almost Halloween ... the perfect time to dive into a mystery novel! And DEVILS ISLAND is only 99 cents on the Kindle until October 31! @jyunker.bsky.social #BookSky #suspense www.amazon.com/Devils-Islan...

“Caveat.” If you know, you know. 😨

It’s awesome. Solo journaling games have been such a pleasant revelation in both the gaming and writing spaces, and this one is such a fun combination of eerie and meditative.

Jess Walter author talk at @jclsor.bsky.social. Groovy dude. Former journalist. Funny. Great time. #WriteLikeTheWind 🫡

Spooky season is here, and we're pretty excited. We want to share that excitement with you in the form of new stickers and pins depicting JCLS mascot Leapy in his haunted swamp era, available soon at all our branches. Supplies are extremely limited, so get yours quick! 🐸👻

Scores nothing in the first three quarters. Scores 33 in the fourth quarter and wins. That was for DT. #GoBroncos

One of our butterflies is almost hatched. 🙂

This is one of the best horror films I’ve watched in years. Deserves way more attention.

“Destiny of the Republic” is exquisite. So excited for this.

I was able to boil this down to three: Hereditary, The Descent, and The Blackcoat’s Daughter

The princess cat picture in this is 900/10.

Painted a pumpkin. 🎃

"The greatest danger to our future is apathy." - Jane Goodall RIP to a titan.

First official play test of my game prototype is today! #gamedesign

Still one of the best.

Wooooow 🤯

I know I’ve only been following them for a couple days, but @didtherockieslose.com is really fun/good. ✨ ⚾️

I wish I’d had something like this during my K-12 and college years. Pretty amazing.

Happy birthday to @jclsor.bsky.social’s “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” tribute. The highlight from this one remains having a teacher from New York reach out to see if she could use it in her class, as they were in the midst of a unit on the epic poem.

Recent game acquisitions include @greygnomegames.bsky.social’ Gate and Doom Machine. @thegamecrafter.bsky.social has such an excellent selection of micro solitaire games.

Update: it’s the best time of year to rewatch the masterpiece that is Ken Burns’ “The Civil War.” #autumn

I sincerely want a Rockies shirt for Christmas that just says “Not The Worst.”
