With block becoming nothing, engagements becoming nil, and this platform prioritizing unsafe practices, I cannot conscionably continuing using it. It hurts my heart to abandon this network of friends that I've built here, but you can find me elsewhere:

Pyontaro and his two best friends must travel across multiverses to save his little sister, but in other dimensions, they have superpowers! Thunder 3 is a hilarious, high-stakes adventure! #GraphicLibrary #Manga #SchoolLibraries

For ~20 years we’ve been telling kids don’t research with Wikipedia and/or Wiki is a good place to start if you know how to use it. Now, we’ll have to shift to: it’s the last bastion of human amongst the AI garbage, so start there.

One of the best ads I’ve seen this year, @wkamaubell gives so much of himself to our future. This advertisement pretty much nails the choice this election. Which future do you want for you and your children? #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited

If you’re not aware, my area has been completely devastated by Hurricane Helene. As we work together to repair and rebuild, something that I would like to provide is free books for those who are sheltered in the evacuation centers. If interested in helping $, please dm me.

This is what I get for posting without good cell service. I get people’s handle’s wrong. @manga_librarian should be the final co-author on there! 😅

Chernobyl is a fascinating & devastating topic, & this graphic novel handles the topic with care and provides lots of factual information. The entire color palette nods to the Ukrainian flag, promoting opportunity for many discussion questions. #GraphicLibrary #HistoryComics

The rise in book challenges over the last 10 years is astounding & exhausting. I was surprised by California, & I would love for @CAgovernor to sign the #FreedomToRead act & protect our public libraries. It would make a perfect #BannedBooksWeek present! Data from @ALALibrary
