Music Monday – “Ooo, your kisses/Sweeter than honey/And guess what?/So is my money”
“Respect” – Aretha Franklin
Saturday Snap – Reading Science Books = Future Astronaut?
Sasha’s pretty obsessed with this True/False book about the planets. Future astronaut confirmed! 😉
Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day Six – Friday Fun Link – How Different Would E.T. Be In The 21st Century? #ftrw
Shea and I have been showing the kids a lot of our favourite movies from when we were growing up – “Dirty Dancing” to “Adventures in Babysitting” to “Airplane!” – movies that both of us remember being allowed to watch by our parents at relatively young ages with no censorship or restrictions (*maybe* I’d […]
Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day Three – Covid, Libraries & #FTRW
This has been an unprecedented twelve months that has impacted all sectors including public libraries. Libraries have had to pivot in a variety of ways – from implementing curbside pickup to quarantining books to opening up to the idea of staff working from home – and there are numerous articles about the impacts of Covid […]
Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day One – Welcome Back! (And A Child Reads One of the Year’s Most Controversial Books, “Call Me Max”) #ftrw

The NYPL has a Buzzfeed-esque quiz that’s pretty fun…
What Is Going On With Game Stop & Reddit?
Well, the dominant narrative of this story is “large group of Internet-enabled Reddit underdogs figure out strategy to bankrupt billion dollar hedge fund” but the reality, as usual, is probably a lot more complicated and also consequential.
Music Monday – “I’m gonna tell you fascists/Sure might may be surprised/There’s people in this world/And we’re getting organized”
Happy Inauguration Week! “All You Fascists (Bound To Lose)” – Billy Bragg
Music Monday – “Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous/Wicked and able, media-ready/Heartless, and labeled/Super US citizen, super achiever/Mega ultra power dosing, relax/Defense, defense, defense, defense”
Originally about the Reagan years but the sentiment applies to most right-wing governments including Trump’s… “Ignoreland” – R.E.M. (Side note: “Ignoreland” is my least favourite song on probably my most favourite album of all-time. Wish it had been on “Monster” instead.)
