The aftermath of a Noon Yearâs Eve confetti throw with over 100 kids and grownups at the library. As far as Iâm concerned, 2023 started at noon today. đž @jannellj (at Herman and Kate Kaiser Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2hB_Qvs52/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Books To Treasure night is back! We celebrate kids, books, and illustration and itâs one of my favorite nights of the year. This year we honored @katherineroystudio and her lovely illustrated nonfiction title How To Be An Elephant. (at Hardesty Regional Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClKga84OH-0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Happy Election Day! Iâm proud of my votes for Joy, Jena, Kendra, Madison, Melissa, and more. Also I called the Tulsa county election board to report a situation my mom and I observed that wasnât right. @lisanelld talked to a poll worker and we were not satisfied with the response. Shoutout to @markcotner for looking up the election statute for me and advising me to call. https://www.instagram.com/p/CktN3NHOGjt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
The real mvp of this Tulsa primary election season is @iamliterate. Her forethought to buy âI votedâ stickers, her commitment to sharing accurate information, and her passion for getting out the vote is impressive and inspirational. I had big plans for programs about suffrage for children at the library this year, but, well, pandemic has put all that aside. The best way to honor your right to vote and to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the (white) womenâs right to vote is to take that right straight to the ballot box, whether that is at the polling place or the mailbox and vote. This election I voted absentee and I have requested absentee ballots for the rest of the year. I love voting at the polls but I love the health and safety of myself and others more. At least thanks to Katlin, I can still get my âI votedâ stickers. May every elected official who contributed to the failure of leadership which has exacerbated this pandemic be voted out, as soon as possible. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCFcwJ-jWSM9E5HONkucDqXr86H4WZXDmckjOM0/?igshid=1addfdderdj58
Wait, so now itâs summer already? https://www.instagram.com/p/B_s3O4qjSCf/?igshid=1jcqey4c0kooy
If you donât instagram weird cloud formations after a weird storm in a pandemic, did it even happen? https://www.instagram.com/p/B_i9X_HDGD5/?igshid=38erzy0rmnfd
Even while Iâm staying home, Iâm able to go out for walks and get some fresh air. I listened to the Office Ladies, played PokĂ©mon Go, and hoped the nature would help the anxiety. We never know what tomorrow will bring, but itâs even more obvious than usual. One day at a time. #onedaycv https://www.instagram.com/p/B925HyOj3S-/?igshid=1184b7ha545fy
I left my library today and I wonât be back until at least March 31. All TCCL locations are closed, starting at 6 PM today. Itâs weird, itâs sad, and itâs uncertain. I made a short video today for my Storytime families (itâs on the HKK Facebook page) and I hope to make more while in #quarantine. Iâm not planning to go out again for quite awhile, other than to my nearby park where I can keep #socialdistance but still get a little fresh air. Stay safe, wash your hands, contact your people.

#socialdistancing in the park today, playing PokĂ©monGo and trying to stay warm. We are living in wild, scary times and we have to do what we can to take care of each other. Did you know I have an autoimmune disease? I donât talk about it all the time: most people close to me know and it isnât a secret. Yet now feels like a good time to remind people that you donât always know whoâs âhealthyâ and who isnât. When thereâs a pandemic and the people âin chargeâ arenât making good decisions, itâs up to the rest of us to make sacrifices to save, well, everyone. Iâm staying home and going to my now-closed-to-the-public workplace only in order to do what I can to #flattenthecurve. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9xDPaJDThL/?igshid=17mk3xjf51ndz
It isnât snowing but itâs definitely cold here at the last HHBF. (at Holland Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9JwXFGDOUB/?igshid=88a10bls74zp

Another Staff Development Day in the books, alongside one of my best pals, one of my biggest cheerleaders, the very best @vanenarodz85. Sheâs been my champion at the library ever since I started and sheâs one of the strongest people I know. To another year of great library work at @tulsalibrary! https://www.instagram.com/p/B3nhbMcDJMO/?igshid=a8kq4whguxdx
Can you believe it, @emlovesoh and @dnlrdrgzdmn are finally married. We did it! First photo is before the ceremony, second photo is quite obviously after. It was a whirlwind but oh so worth it. đđđ https://www.instagram.com/p/B199JxMDRGm/?igshid=21wlmgt5vypx

I named her Marshu. I was the first grandchild on my dadâs side of the family and my Aunt Marthaâs first niece, so as you can imagine, I got a lot of attention. The name Martha was just a little too difficult for a young me to pronounce: Marshu is what I named her. This nickname stuck for both our family and many of her friends over the years. As her health deteriorated over the last two weeks, my parents started retelling a story from when I was born and Marshu met me for the first time. She held me and said âWeâve been waiting for you!â She loved me, she loved Emily, she loved her kids, she loved so many people. And we loved her. Grief is messy. Messy, complicated, frustrating, painful. Iâm thankful Marshu isnât in pain anymore but I miss her. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1EcBfCjVOx/?igshid=1oq3bpzoc3eo4
Happy Motherâs Day to an amazing mom! https://www.instagram.com/lakesidegirl/p/BxYPXeOHYEh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oo3iidy1jvcz
Grief in the age of the internet is a strange experience. You can learn from people, befriend people, and care about people whom youâve never met. The loss of a leader, prophet, teacher, warrior like Rachel Held Evans hurts. I may have never met her, but her example, her work, her writing, and her leadership made a difference in my life and in the world. Her writing renewed my faith in dark and difficult times. Her death is such a shock and a great loss. #becauseofrhe #prayforrhe https://www.instagram.com/lakesidegirl/p/BxD2AvWHZeY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w5mehctra6xm
