My Feb '25 #KnowledgeQuest post for @aaslala.bsky.social is up. In it, I share some ways I've been dealing with this darkest timeline. (SPOILER: It's remembering you've got people on your side; and it's purposely not even pretending to do all the things.)

Be a Buffalo!

Libraries are critically important to protect as the far-right expands its reach.

Are you at a loss right now? My suggestion:

If you don’t have a library card, get one today or tomorrow. If you have a library card, befriend and support your local library any way you see fit. Visit if you can.

Somehow I either did not know or forgot (?) that Goodreads is owned by Amazon. How many readers who track what they read/want to read are using Storygraph as a replacement? Please chime in with thoughts on this subject! #TLSky #EduSky

It’s Library Shelfie Day so I’m sharing a photo of the bookshelves in my office at school. Does it make me a stereotype since all the titles are neatly arranged by Dewey classification? 🤷‍♀️ #TLSky #EduSky

Sorry, but I really hope people who love THE WILD ROBOT movie know it was inspired by my book. It's mentioned in the credits but most people don't read that stuff. If you love the movie you should check out the book! There's more to the story and it's a quick read.

If you’ve been wondering how you can help those who have been affected by the California wildfires, here’s something you can do. If you make a donation to the Red Cross you can specify that you want your funds designated to assist in the California wildfires relief efforts.

The Washington Post has published a list of organizations that are accepting donations to assist in supporting those who have been affected by the California Wildfires.
