Litsy

My mood is a roller coaster! 🎢

The current regime is a joke. But it‘s not the least bit funny. Except sometimes it is.

It‘s Spring! Time of renewal and new hope! Except…see above.

So…resist, grieve, carry on, and live another day.

Congratulations @dabbe on your achievement! You are one of the reasons I love Litsy!

dabbe You are one who can definitely see the forest through the trees. 😍 The AI meme ... 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing yourself. 🩵💙🩵 1w

ncsufoxes Same. I have to laugh or I‘ll cry all the time. I have an Autistic teen & my 2 other kids are neurodivergent, so I‘m exhausted & on high alert to this BS. Also the wife on an oncology research scientist that works as a govt contractor, so hoping daily that he doesn‘t have his funding pulled. And hoping that my oldest can be able to complete his degree in environmental sciences (between the backlash towards academia & the environment, it‘s 😵‍💫) 1w

ncsufoxes @Susanita & add Dr. Amen in there too, who is a vaccine skeptic. I had a friend in San Diego brought her son to one of his clinics & she kept talking about all the supplements that he put her son on (real pseudo science stuff). He‘s added himself to this mess. Except the way he talks make people think he‘s knows what he‘s talking about but he‘s just as bad. 1w

Sometimes there are some kids book that really can make you cry. This is one of them. A normal kid who is going through a tough time when his grandmother gives him a teddy bear where he can tell him everything and when his mother insists he is too old for the bear, he decides he is not. Another bingo spot #ISpyBingoFeb @TheAromaofBooks

4.25⭐
•I loved the fast pace, the craziness, the Gotham-like city setting. It started with a bang and kept on going. I could‘ve done without the rant about romanticizing abuse or whatever she went on about, to be honest, I tuned it out.
•Saskia Maarleveld…lately, I‘ve not been vibing with her husky voice, but I can admit that she is good at narrating.

I'm Not Scared, You're Scared | Seth Meyers

I always watch and appreciate A Closer Look segment on Seth Meyers' Late Night show. I haven't yet listened to his podcast with his bother, but it sounds like there's good humor and plenty of #BrotherLove.

I'm Not Scared, You're Scared | Seth Meyers

so-so

2.5 To be honest I like Seth Meyers bio on the cover better than I like the book. This book is fine. It‘s about a bear that doesn‘t want to admit they are scared while their rabbit friend is adventurous. Bear eventually overcomes their fright when a friend needs help. I wish the story might have gotten into everything that bear did to go on an adventure while not going on an adventure was an adventure.

LibrarianRyan But getting on a bus and a train and a helicopter was a type of an adventure. So I think the book missed the mark pointing that out. This book is also overly long. And it does not sound like Seth Meyers. Parts of it that I‘m not scared you‘re scared sounds exactly like him. But the rest of the story does not have the way with words we see him using his show. The book is nice and kids are going to like it, but I think it‘s a one shot and 3mo

LibrarianRyan should stick to late night. 3mo

Word of the month #reflect
Leo makes a decision.
Illustrations in kid-lit are often described as simple (condescending?). The concept of reflection is not simple. In drawing, gesture is the technique used to convey meaning, but we don't label illustrations like we name literary devices. Maybe if we did, educators would teach more using graphic novels. What would you call them though?
