When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.

Today is Piper’s 7th Gotcha Day. I’m so grateful for both of our dogs who bring light and joy to our lives, especially in troubling times. #SkyHounds #Greyhounds

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

We didn’t get new costumes for the dogs this year due to me dealing with a re-aggravated back injury, but I have managed to take a couple of new photos of them that I enjoy. Here are Piper and June, to make you smile. #SkyHounds #Greyhounds

Bummer. Just talked with my teacher candidates a little over a month ago about how it seemed Teen Vogue was still going strong.

I started class today by acknowledging the government shutdown and how earlier this week the governor defied voters and opted the state into the federal school voucher program. A teacher candidate looked at me and said, “Are we going to be okay?” #EduSky #AcademicSky

Piper and June relaxing before we went to the art fair today. They got a lot of attention and pets there, and the humans answered a lot of questions, which is typical in the day of the life of a #greyhound owner. #SkyHounds

SO FUN to watch Venus play (and win) doubles! 🤩🎾 #USOpen

Happy to see how well Taylor Townsend played singles in this tournament. Wish she could have kept going, but I hope she takes this momentum into future matches! #TennisSky #USOpen

Super bummed about Ben Shelton. 🎾#USOpen #TennisSky

Needed this laugh.

Pausing work and reading about the fresh horrors of today to take and post some Piper photos. Just love her expressive little face. #Greyhound #SkyHounds

I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it. They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory. Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human. Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

Lettuce tastes great on your #July4 burger or salad. Harvesting it is an extremely difficult job because of the constant bending down and use of sharp tools. As we enjoy our holiday BBQs, let's remember the farm workers who make this meal possible. #WeFeedYou

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

trump should’ve been in handcuffs in jan 2021 and there is no way to quantify just how much human suffering will result from the disastrous decision to slow walk his prosecution or even avoid it altogether

the Bezos wedding celebration included a Great Gatsby-themed party and I guarantee no one there knew who the baddies in that book were

After the graphic novel is realistic fiction. I posted about Everything We Never Had earlier this year, which is one of their options. The other option is A Catalog of Burnt Objects by Shana Youngdahl. 📚👍🏻 #YALit

Yesterday was our June girl’s 7th birthday! She tolerated the headband and enjoyed her pupcake. 😂 Piper was right in there at the end to make sure she finished every morsel of her birthday treat, even though Piper had her own treat. #SkyHounds #Greyhounds

It’s becoming increasingly subversive to read so, I have a reading list for you pearlsandrubys.slj.com/2025/06/11/w...

@youngteenlit.bsky.social Your latest post for SLJ's Teen Librarian Toolbox was right on time. The teachers and librarians in my YA lit class have been asking about bridging the gap for ms / early hs who need a fit that is just right! #YoungTeenLit teenlibrariantoolbox.com/2025/06/09/m...

Back to the #YALit reading list. After nonfiction, they will read the original and graphic novel adaptation of either Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass by Meg Medina, illustrated by Mel Valentine Vargas or Every Day by David Levithan, illustrated by Dion MBD. 👍🏻📚

ICE raids Poconos pizza shop. "It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy." www.wnep.com/article/news...

After everyone reads Under the Same Stars, they will have a choice for the nonfiction selection. I always select young reader/ YA adaptations of adult books, and they read a preview of the adult version to be able to compare and contrast. 1/

Class officially started on Tuesday, so it’s time for me to share my YA Lit reading list for the summer and fall! This is a master’s level course for current teachers and librarians. They typically get to choose between two books across a variety of genres and formats. 1/

Some lighter fare for the feed: Piper and June had their first ice cream of the season today. #Greyhounds #SkyHounds

Avian flu isn’t a threat to the general public — yet! Right now, it’s a huge threat to farm workers. They are a firewall protecting the rest of the country. If we don’t protect farm workers, we can’t protect the public.

We finally got a few inches of snow, so the girls had to wear their coats AND boots today. They were not amused. #SkyHounds #Greyhounds

Here we have a late-night roach from the June girl. #SkyHounds #Greyhounds

Piper, who, as always, has had quite enough of my shenanigans. #SkyHounds #Greyhounds

FINAL: No. 9 MSU 86, Oregon 74. Spartans storm back from a 14-point halftime deficit to help Tom Izzo tie Bob Knight with 353 Big Ten wins.

@reebsonstage.bsky.social 🤣🤣🤣

Let's be VERY clear here. Trump does *not* have the authority to withhold federal funding from public schools for what they teach. The 2015 Every Student Succeeds Act is very explicitly clear on this. #EduSky www.chalkbeat.org/2025/01/29/t...
