Played Love Letters for the first time in a couple years last night. Forgot how fun it is. Makes me wonder what games to break out next… #boardgames #games #loveletters #cardgames #cards

Took this earlier today. It’s even more under water now. (Heard in background is Maya, our husky, who refuses to get off the deck because she hates the water lol) #puremichigan #flooding #rain

Lastly, I came VERY close to teaching this, Jas Hammond’s “We Deserve Monuments.” This book was recommended to me by @thoughtsthatcarrie.bsky.social and is a powerful novel about intergenerational trauma, race, queerness, and social justice. It uncovers whose histories we tell and why.

My 2nd book is Bob the Drag Queen’s “Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert.” Harriet Tubman has come back to life (alongside many other historical figures) and reaches out to a music producer to produce a hip-hop album and concert to spread her message to a new audience. Timely, captivating, & beautiful.

Going to share some of mine, starting with Kirsten Menger-Anderson’s “The Expert of Subtle Revisions.” A historical mystery of Hase, looking for her father who has disappeared. A “genre-bending historical mystery,” this is a book I keep recommending.

My great grandma Hall passed away Friday at the young age of 105. I wish I could’ve talked to her more about her time on this earth. She has seen so much. May she rest in peace.
