Schoolhouse Rock!: The Official Guide | Tom Yohe, George Newall

I have had this on loop all day. 250 years later, and we're still fighting this. Thanks to all who went out there today to fight the good fight. I got blindsided with a hellacious cold and didn't want to spread my germs, but I've been there in spirit. #resist 💙✊🏻♥️

If you've never seen Schoolhouse Rock, especially this one, it's worth 3 minutes of your time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvOZs3g3qIo

TheBookHippie Feel better!!!! 4d

ChaoticMissAdventures I live in Portland Oregon so we are pretty learned in the protest ways. I was Bail Friend today. Meaning I hang out, all my friends have my number written on their arm and if they get arrested or sent to hospital I am in charge of organizing their release. We rotate Bail Friend duties. It has been a quiet day and all my people are done for the day so that feels good. 4d

Leftcoastzen There is a terrible cold going around. My letter carrier had it . He kept thinking he had COVID, but tested negative 3 times. His lasted nearly a week 4d

Apparently it‘s “terrorism” to expect due process for all? Fun fact! As a #longtimefed I had a passing acquaintance with Seb G when he worked for an organization downstairs from my office. He struck me as a bit grumpy and kinda “out there.” He has some books in the Litsy database, but I‘m not going to highlight them in any way.

Bette Huh. Soooo, if you go to a protest and have a sign that says: Free Garcia…you could be arrested? Just wondering as protests are coming up, like the “No Kings” one in June. 🙋‍♀️⁉️ 1mo

Leftcoastzen Disgusting! They keep doubling down on absurdity and lies! 1mo

TheBookHippie Ughhhh 1mo

Suet624 Disgusting 1mo

ncsufoxes I just can‘t with these people anymore. I‘m trying to be all about peace & happiness but also saying 🤬off 🤬under my breath daily. I‘m over here cursing again with RFK & trying the Autism registry thing again but using Medicaid & Medicare data. 🤬🤬🤬 1mo

Can we do #TuesdayTunes on a Thursday night?? This just came up on a Spotify-curated playlist, and I could smell that school bus seat vinyl and that particular teenage muskiness. Man…took me straight back to high school. Hadn‘t heard the song in years!

vivastory And how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind? 🎶
So good! 1y

BarbaraBB Of course we can! I didn‘t know this The Verve song but am listening to it while typing this. I love it when a song brings back such memories! 1y

BarbaraBB Still listening and what a good album! I only knew them from their biggest hit here, Bitter Sweet Symphony, which I didn‘t like much. 1y

Megabooks @BarbaraBB yes! This was an album I bought back then for their single, but I like the rest of the album much more now than BSS; although the orchestral background is still great. I associate that song with the final scene in Cruel Intentions, which was my college roommate‘s favorite movie so I saw it A LOT! Many good memories with her! 😁😁 1y

Megabooks @BarbaraBB I‘m definitely a nostalgia listener, but I‘m picking up some great new songs too lately. 1y

Megabooks @vivastory the lyrics definitely hit harder as an adult than they did as a teen. 1y

BarbaraBB I‘d love to know what you‘re picking up these days and hope you‘ll continue #ThursdayTunes 😜🥰 (edited) 1y

TieDyeDude This song is new to me, but I like it! Similar orchestral arrangement to BSS. Is that throughout the album? 1y

Bookwomble @TieDyeDude Yes, it is. I'd recommend Richard Ashcroft's solo albums to you, especially Alone With Everybody and Human Conditions. Song for the Lovers from the former has a great orchestral introduction 😊 https://open.spotify.com/track/7a90gal9tr3yS8bEXUvu8D?si=-O-28vPQSKOgNjSPsyRh4A&... (edited) 1y

Megabooks @Bookwomble thanks for chiming in! And recommending another artist I‘ll check out! I hope you try the album @TieDyeDude 👍🏻 1y

Bookwomble @Megabooks You're welcome. Richard Ashcroft is the lead singer and main songwriter for The Verve, so if you like them, you'll like him 😊 1y

Megabooks @Bookwomble I am SO BAD at knowing the names of band members! 😂😂 even bands I‘ve enjoyed for years I‘d have trouble naming them. 1y

Bookwomble @Megabooks You only know if you know! 😊 1y

A Kids Book about Racism | Jelani Memory

I have the serendipitous timing to stumble upon a panel speaking and awareness event at the book in the historic downtown I was visiting circumstantially Wednesday! So giveaways of banned books (mostly kids and youth) to emphasize a need for greater access to diverse stories to build empathy and to expand our awareness of the people and culture out there we meet, to better understand our world, we are not all the same but not all that different.

Ruthiella Awesome! 👍 2y

Yesterday, Illinois Passed HB 2789 - the Right to Read Bill. This bill helps curb book banning, by saying any library that participates in this activity will not be eligible for state funding. There are only small pockets in Illinois with problems like Florida, Missouri, and Indiana, but we don't want those problems to grow, so the state is being proactive. The bill still has to go before the sent where it is expected to pass, and the governor

LibrarianRyan WILL Sign it when it reaches his desk. This is a first of it's kind bill in the nation. And it's awesome to see a state legislature that on a bipartisan effort sees that all books have a purpose, and that every one should have access to them. No one is making anyone read them, but they should still have access.

Little Comet | Igloobooks

so-so

While we loved Little Sunflower, Little Acorn and Little Snowflake - Little Comet fell short for us. The others are quite educational as you learn about the life cycle of the sunflower, acorn and snowflake. It didn't feel that there was as much learning in this book but you do get to zoom through space as a comet and learn the planets on the way. Our three year old clearly enjoys the illustrations!

Blood! Not Just a Vampire Drink | Stacy McAnulty

pick

4 ⭐ Turns out this is a kids book on why giving blood is a good thing. The book uses vampires to help explain how and why blood works and why donating it can be a good thing. I listened to this as an audiobook but wish I had read the print version. I think the illustrations would have helped make the point and the importance of the story clearer, but overall, I enjoyed it.
