If you say "I was homeschooled but my parents didn't teach me anything" then you weren't homeschooled, you were neglected. Let's not confuse those.

Questiom for my fellow homeschoolers: What is your least favorite month to homeschool and why is it February? 🤦‍♀️

I can say as a secular progressive MO homeschooler, even the conservative Christian homeschoolers don't want this because it'll come with strings attached and they're afraid they'll have to become accountable. Us responsible ones don't want to take funding from public schools. Very few want this.

For some reason, when I picked this up, I thought it was fiction, but it's a memoir. It was a short, but heavy read, definitely aimed toward the middle grade crowd. Heartbreaking. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #booksky #middlegrade #memoir

Utilize your libraries, but also stock up on books. Keep books from marginalized voices. Fiction and nonfiction. Children's and adults.

Support local libraries. We’re witnessing censorship on a massive scale. Digital scrubbing is modern day equivalent of book burning Our ability to get accurate info about public health, science, history, LGBTQ & marginalized groups is under threat Libraries will be critical part of the resistance

You can’t fight fascism by taking a selfie of yourself in a slogan tshirt. Performative activism changes nothing. You can’t fight nazis if you won’t wear a mask. #Covidisnotover #fightfascism #fuckyourperformativeactivism

At this point, we should just expect to mask up indefinitely.

Highly recommend this book! It's in graphic novel format, which isn't usually my cup of tea, but it makes it accessible for kids and adults. I don't recall learning about Japanese internment camps in my public school history classes, so you can bet this is being included in my homeschool lessons.

Hey gardeners, what is the BEST book on gardening that breaks it all down like we're children? I kill every plant I ever touch, but am planning to try my hand at it (again) this year. I just need a book to hold my hand through the process. 😄

If you really do oppose fascism, then consider masking up to protect public health and paying attention to all the science from the last four years that explains why.

I know a lot of people don’t want to hear this… but if you’re going to talk about resisting & community building…wear a mask. For yourself, for your community, for disabled & vulnerable people. We’re watching what’s left of public health be gutted… protect yourself.

Gentle reminder that you can log off today and exercise, volunteer, play video games, run errands, crochet, bake banana bread, see a friend, binge any TV show, play with your baseball cards, tidy your junk drawer(s), bury yourself in work, whatever you need to do to protect your peace. ❤️

Today might be a good day for a reminder that making everyone too sick or disabled to fight back is a good way for authoritarianism to take hold. Mask up so we can continue to hold the line. #maskup #covidisnotover

A mix of The Hunger Games and Handmaid's Tale.....I think this book is going to stay in my head for a long time. Underneath it all, it's a story of the importance of women supporting women and building communities that hold each other up. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #booksky

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

I once heard someone say if you want to learn something about a topic you know very little about, start with children's books because they'll break it down for you in simple terms. This book is a perfect example of that. Kind of want to create a unit study with it. #booksy #secularhomeschooling

I wish Libby let you make a note on books you put on hold. That way when all the books become available in 12 weeks at the same time, I could remember what was said about the books that drew me to them in the first place. 😏
