This week's Monday Melody video is a "classic" go-to song in my performance repertoire. My daughter, Evalyn, is the guest performer. She chose the song because she wants to use it with kids in her new job starting this month as children's librarian in Wichita, Kansas. Congratulations, Evalyn!

Here's a very punny song for you about what happens to baby ducks when they disappear from the brood.

BEHOLD! One of Earth's greatest lineages of life: the lil wiggle arm guys, Meteora.

These single-celled critters, originally found in deep-sea sediments, are SO DIFFERENT from other lifeforms on Earth that they're likely in their own kingdom (as in, the Animal Kingdom, the Plant Kingdom etc). 🧪🌿

Authors Against Book Bans @authorsabb.bsky.social · Jun 27

Our statement in response to the Supreme Court ruling in Mahmoud v Taylor. Image thread with alt text. 1/4

Today's Supreme Court decision, though couched in the language of freedom and inclusivity, is a tragic failure for both the right to read and the rights of LGBTQIA+ people. Authors Against Book Bans stands firmly and fiercely against the decision and its rationale. To allow parents to "object" to the presence of positive books about the lives and rights of LGBTQIA+ people is to allow them to "object" to the existence of LGBTQIA+ students, parents, educators, and others in the wider community. You cannot “opt out” of reality, no matter what today’s majority opinion states. These books belong on shelves and these stories belong in classrooms and curricula.

Wish me luck, I'm about to go perform my "Reading Readiness" program for the first time in front of 4 and 5 year olds and a bunch of grad students. Nervous and excited!

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world
