Did you want to sleep here or something? Our bed now!
Friends and allies who might wanna do something neat for the GSA I advise, give me a nudge, maybe? Dreaming a little bigger this year.
My dude, I appreciate you are a very nice educator, but I think it is pretty valid to ask high school students what books are no-gos for readers' advisory. Kids are allowed to hate a book. Anyone is!
I miss friends. I recognize that I have voluntarily signed up for a stretch of time with no social life and only head down work hard, but I miss friends very badly.
Coming in 2024 to a theater near you: a gritty update of "Scarface," in which Tony Montana's brutal book cartel comes to dominate the library underworld. "Say hello to my literate friend."
My school year is basically over, hooray! I am a deeply disconnected extrovert who has forgotten how to friend, oh no...
Feeling more and more like I'm abandoning most social media -- and it's liberating, rather than sad.
This entire GSA meeting is just going to be about THE SUN AND THE STAR and the extent to which @rickriordan and @MarkDoesStuff need hugs and/or to provide them with therapy for the plot twists.
Gotta love how snobbish literacy clickbait tweet suggests that "read Moby-Dick, hate it, be competent at reading" or "lower yourself to love Wimpy Kid, be obviously intellectually inferior" are the either-or choices. Readers can look like either, both, or something else.
I'd just like the world to be less of an ongoing constant trash fire. Please.
I don't love that the YA fiction I just purchased is universally longer in terms of page count than some of the adult-books-for-teens I've added. I think the bloat is turning off actual teen readers, for sure, because I'm often asked directly for something that's just SHORTER.
When I teach picture book writing to teens in workshop and examine back matter and the use and importance of author's notes, THIS book is one mentor text I show BECAUSE of the note and its grace and importance. The sheer gall and cowardice of Scholastic!
At the beginning of my career: "Welcome to library work. It won't pay a lot and the schedules will be pretty unforgiving but at least nobody will ever treat you like you're a menace to youth and an enemy of the people." 2023: "Hey, circling back: never mind about that last part."
GSA: *chorusing My Immortal for funsies in demented group interp* Me: ...is that what I think...? GSA Fanfic Ringleader: ONLY if you know what is the GREATEST LITERATURE OF OUR TIME. Me, not to be geek gatekept by freshmen: I mean, it's My Immortal... Entire GSA: *SCREAMS*
