A Twilight Zone episode made real. My state rep filed a bill to send librarians to prison for TWO YEARS hard labor for attending a professional conference. It failed bc it is crazy but it didn’t stop the lies. Librarians are under attack—this isn’t opinion, it’s fact. And I won’t stop fighting it.

The irony of this attorney warning people about posting on social media, after telling me to “grow thicker skin” when his other client defamed me online. Feels like an SNL cold open.

Grateful to be a Louisianian of the Year finalist. I’d trade every accolade if our state and community leaders would stop working with extremists to undermine our libraries and start serving the people. I’ll keep fighting for free access to books, truth, and libraries across Louisiana. @la-cac.org

Josie commissioned this for us for Christmas and it made me think people should do more of this as gifts. Support artists AND have a cool keepsake.

Time to sit on the couch, snuggle with Juno Mars, and finish Die Hard with the fam, while ignoring the Christmas presents all over the living room and maybe getting a third slice of pie in a bit. Yippee-ki-yay. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

My ❤️ is full. This year stretched me: librarian, author, activist, mom, wife, friend. I traveled, spoke up for libraries, and helped build one in Kenya. My book earned out, got optioned, and I am in a documentary. I fought hard, won some battles, and learned a lot. I’m grateful. Here’s to ‘26.

Did I get my Christmas wish? Is Gov Kim Jong Landry leaving LA? He most certainly can’t be both our governor AND Special Trump Suck-up to Harass Greenland at the same time. Our state constitution forbids it. And why does he look like the Scooby Doo Mud Monster? www.fox8live.com/2025/12/22/t...

Another piece of $5 art from the Artomat vending machine at the Baton Rouge Airport. I picked it up the other day. I don’t travel for a while, but I’ll be getting one from now on every single time!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone except politicians who try to destroy libraries and public schools.
I hope their turkey is super dry today.
