Regular reminder that libraries are much more than just books—although that would be valuable in itself. Libraries provide research databases, games, classes, clubs, movie screenings and a hundred other services.

A traumatic birth. This week they are back at Starship waiting confirmation of a possible diagnosis of dystonic cerebral palsy. Baby is a blessing and shows what a strong Mama he has. She has amazing support from both her parents. Life doesn't always follow the intended plan

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! Only cos Twitter told me. That's a lot of minutes scrolling, deflecting and ignoring misinformation and less finding amazing people. I'm pretty much just hanging with amazing people thanks block button ☺️ #MyTwitterAnniversary
