hello what did i miss tell me every thing

Over 100 human rights, sports and scientific groups, including the United Nations, have criticised the International Olympic Committee’s new gender eligibility guidelines as “a blunt and discriminatory response that is not supported by science and violates international human rights law"

I wrote about the findings from the inquiry about the impact of the pandemic on the NHS, and the mistakes of the first year. I hope it makes you angry - it should make us all angry. open.substack.com/pub/christin...

I absolutely love the ideas and reasoning in this post. Poetry is more than words. #EduSky #TLSky #Skybrarian

Call me a radical, but NO. We should not be replacing teachers in America with robots. We should attract the best and brightest in our country to become teachers and pay them the decent wages that they deserve.

A7 #TLSkyChat I’m on the specials schedule & I think teachers forget that I can be a resource for our curriculum. Especially when T are using crappy resources when we have ton of great ones I have made available for them.

A7: There’s still misunderstanding about what school librarians do. Libraries aren’t just about books. They are hubs for inquiry, digital literacy, and equitable access. When people discuss info lit gaps and information lit, I’m frantically raising my hand. We are part of the solution! #TLSkyChat

Read this! Kelly’s analysis is brilliant (as always) and the context she provides to connect the dots between book banning bills in different states is incredibly helpful.

What are you reading this weekend?

This weekend, read a book. Any book. A serious book. A frivolous book. A cozy book. A bodice ripper. A fantasy escape. An old favorite. A new release. Go to a library or bookstore, pick five that seem interesting, read all the first pages, then take the one that grabs your interest the most.

Our cozy corner got an upgrade today. The fairy lights were not cutting it. Tap lights are much more effective for this space (yes, they are under a table 🤣). This well-loved space was designed by 5th grade Reader Leaders. #TLSky #SchoolLibraries
