Perfect timing! Although I had to smile when I saw your 'my little story erupted in bigger' statements.. That must run in friends, since IA also has that issue, and I love every additional word they give!

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.
Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.
This is pure cruelty.

I'd really like us to end the teacher/student; workplace - especially boss/assistant romances, unless they are both at least 30+ years old.
IMO, too many predators to make this concept sexy these days.
Fun series!
π―...that does the opposite and makes it a chore.
This is tricky... I know you are really talking about school months, but it's been proven that there is a 'summer slide' when kids don't read, etc for long extended periods of time.
I'm on Pagebound.. it worked better for me for my various library shelves (for work).
I'm so glad we are still getting your expertise!
Yes, there are quite a number of them. It's sometimes labeled as reverse grumpy/Sunshine (which I dont really like).
It's not *entirely* grumpy/sunshine, but I do really like Well Matched by Jen Deluca. He's sunny, and she's more business, etc.
This is why I need you in my life -- I *never* would have made that connection, but know after seeing it in print, that you are π― correct.
Our branch has a copy-- Ill definitely put it on display on Saturday- I'm sure patrons will be interested!
I've played that game - 'AI gave me this source - does it exist?'
Nope!
I was lucky - the patron
1) told me he got the resource from AI
2) understood that AI could give false responses
Celebrate!!
Wow - I absolutely couldn't tell! 'Ouch', 'that back is absolutely georgeous', 'she is absolutely stunning', 'isn't she cold' & 'is she going to wear that for the entire ceremony?' were my first thoughts.
Can you tell I'm a parent?
Really -- it was irking me!! π
Still, I like my selection...I only read it a year or two ago, and it is still absolutely powerful. So many of the traditional 'classics' don't land as well now.
All Quiet on the Western Front.
1929
It really stands the test of time.
I'm going to find one!! So far, I've got 1966 & 1951! :)
@jenreadsromance.bsky.social , you're going to love it!
It was *soo* good!! And Amazon released it a day early -- lucky I had already finished your book - also really good!
Fun week of reading!
Reading it now! Just put the tablet down to charge! :)
Absolutely beautiful!
A Bluesky thread by Musicology Duck: I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place they switched drivers at a rest stop and the new driver is telling everyone that they're the ones on the wrong bus?? he's refusing to talk to anyone while he's driving and is now just driving really fast people are calling the police I think I might end up in Vienna Virginia but I'm ... not sure??? two big guys just went up and said we're going to Union station!! and he said no we're not
This is a WILD threadβthat is still ongoing bsky.app/profile/musi...
I don't disagree, but I suspect they are testing the messages that will bring the most crossover votes from Independent voters.
Dem's are already on board.
Rug hooking pattern on linen with black patterns lines showing a spider's web in beading in progress.
What's the yarn you are using? I love the look of it hooked!
Here's what I'm starting - taking a Jane McGowen Flynn pattern (Color Play) and experimenting with different techniques.
I want to see the rug!! :)
Enjoy your trip - looks amazing!
Nice to remember the wonders in this world!
They are the same ones that ignored the Officers on Jan. 6th. The hypocrisy astounds me.
Anything I can do to help - let me know. Enjoy!!
Also: I have. I don't expect to get in, but I'm hoping I get feedback. Any chance to learn. :)
Why not?? Your work is clearly expert, etc.
Or write an article about your process of creating & applying for the exhibition...
