- I gave an all day talk to teacher librarians and school administrators today on book censorship and mental health and while I am, in a word, exhausted, goddamn was it amazing. Three weeks back-to-back-to-back I've talked with everyone from high schoolers to admins on these topics. It feels good.

- Finally got the baffle placed on the backyard hook and the new feeder up for our backyard blue jays. They are having such fun -- and the squirrels are utterly aggravated in turn. We were greeted by a jay serenade this morning.
