#AASL25 was a blast! It always renews me as a librarian. Seeing national friends, going to fabulous sessions, and having amazing keynotes really raises the PD bar for me. Oh, and @mamagilbs.bsky.social and I presented two well-received sessions, too! Feeling like a rockstar heading home. 🥰

#AASL25 was over too fast! So many new ideas and great connections with the library community from all over the country. Do I really have to go back to the real world? 😫

Thank you, sir, for helping highlight those kids who too often are pressed into the shadows.

Yes! Show me your true self. Let's make it safe to be vulnerable and weird with each other.

A student told me today that their friends call me their fairy gay-mother. 🥹 Best title ever. Excuse me while I go add that to my LinkedIn...
