Many thanks to the expo vendors & booth attendants at #ALA23 #ALAAC23 who were gracious to me as a grad student with no current influence or buying power at a library. Many of you made me feel like I still “belonged” there (looking especially at you, @lyrasis!). #libraries 📚❤️

This year I determined to put this all to rest. It took me abt 2 months of constant communication, but I finally found someone to advocate for me in clearing all the red tape & after 17 YEARS I was finally awarded my Bachelor's. In Jan, I start grad school for my MILS degree. 5/6

Current situation: being an enneagram 1, living in a state (IL) where basically all fireworks are illegal, and having neighbors shooting stuff off left and right (with debris landing in my yard) = a frustrating 4th of July season.
The use of war language and imagery when talking about the gospel never, ever, ever draws me closer to the Spirit or becoming more like Christ. In fact, it makes me think of hammers and nails. You know the saying? 1/2

A wee thread about a young boy and the tweet that got away. Feel free to RT.
Three weeks ago my youngest, Gabriel 12, came home upset. His love of woodwork was not deemed cool, nor was only having 6 followers on his instagram. 1/15
