At what age did your child realize there was no Santa Claus and that Epstein didn't un-alive himself? 🎅🎄🙈

I was told @themisterlibrary.bsky.social mentioned me... Nice to see his speech!

Honored to give the opening keynote at the @slj.com Summit. Grateful for the chance to bring humor + hope to a tough moment for school librarians. Hearing panelists reference the keynote throughout the Summit & learning that so many attendees found it both hilarious & uplifting made my week! #TLSky

Not to be pedantic, but shouldn't it be Franken Berry's Monster? Victor Franken Berry would be the doctor, right?

GET THIS: One of the men who defamed Amanda Jones tucked his tiny tail btwn his legs & posted an apology. That’s nice, but we already knew the truth about Amanda’s attackers. Plato summed it up: “False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.” @librarianjones.com

Y'all... There is no keeping up with the Joneses! #AASL25 @themisterlibrary.bsky.social @librarianjones.com

I walked by and screamed, "LOOK IT'S TIM JONES!!!" to Tim Jones. 🤣🤣🤣 #AASL25 @themisterlibrary.bsky.social

School librarians have no shortage of ridiculous anecdotes thanks to the nature of the work we do and community we support.

If your school librarian isn't named Smith or Jones what are you even doing??? @smwordsmith.bsky.social @librarianjones.com @themisterlibrary.bsky.social

Nobody cares and nothing will happen but this is classically, paradigmatically fascist language. Comparing opponents to vermin and pests is straight out of the textbook.

I had to do it😂. Thanks @themisterlibrary.bsky.social for the template and @simplyrain.bsky.social for the sparkly font! #thelifeofashowgirl #cancelled #swiftie

South Park, Season 27, is wow. Three episodes, three satirical masterpieces. I never realized until watching the latest episode just how much the sycophancy of #ChatGPT is the perfect symbol of our times, but it really is. #SouthPark

You all @simplyrain.bsky.social is doing great things for her students. I got to tour the temporary library she was able to carve out of a small space for her kids during a long renovation. She is maintaining a high level of service against a HUGE multi-year project. Well done.

I'm everywhere!!!!!! #ALAAC25

My ears aren't burning, but my nose won't quit itching. Someone must be talking about me... or something. Is it you?

One thing that #AI is not good at is wrestling with your own feelings until you realize you really are a piece of 💩 and nothing matters, so just give up. (That was all a joke, btw. I don't feel that way. But I bet AI isn't good at THAT, lol.)

Join us, school library friends!!! See you soon!!! #TLSky EduSky #Skybrarians #FutureReadyLibs

she’s like 15 feet away. absolutely that man’s whole thought process was: “I’m gonna shoot that woman”
