Thank heavens Michaels got in a restock of giant rubber ducks. I'm saved.

Four golden rubber ducks sit in a tan shopping cart. They each measure six inches from chest to tail.

I feel like the biggest mistake of my career might be donating a large rubber duck to the summer reading prizes kids could enter to win. >100 entry slips are for the duck, out of 900. I have not seen another at Michaels since buying this. Ordering it online would be a random color. I'm doomed.

A golden rubber duck rests on a grey-green counter, next to a wooden ruler. It is roughly six inches long. A brown chair and bookshelves can be seen in the background.

My mom is jealous of her little sister becoming a grandma, so I sent her this adorable photo of her grandcat.

A fluffy longhair black cat lies belly-up on a beige carpet with wild green eyes. All four paws are curled.

Anji enjoyed watching the snow lightly falling this morning.

A fluffy, longhair black cat loafs on a beige cat tree while looking out a glass patio door at the snow in the backyard.

Happy Caturday! #caturday

An overexposed photo of a fluffy black cat with long whiskers loafing on a beige cat tree. A pink milk jug ring rests to her right and looks large due to the forced perspective.

Anji is curious about pangolins, on Caturday and World Pangolin Day. Pangolins are the world's only scaled mammals, and the world's most trafficked mammals due to demand for those scales - which are made of keratin, like fingernails - as well as bush meat, which tourists pay top dollar for.

A fluffy black cat sniffs a crocheted pangolin figurine. There is a stack of hardcover children's books in the background. The carpeting is beige and the pangolin figurine rests on a red-and-white striped cushion.

How much snow do we have currently?

The poster's husband, wearing a black jacket and blue jeans, stands between snowbanks, one of which reaches his shoulder. A path is cleared between him and where the author of this post is standing. The snow is fresh and white. A few twigs from a nearby tree poke into the left side of the photo in the foreground.

This is a happy thing on World Pangolin Day! Two days ago, a pangopup (yes, really) was born at the @brookfieldzoo.bsky.social . Photo from their Facebook page.

I like goats.

Anji was most unimpressed by the wet, heavy, massive amount of snow we recently got.

A fluffy black cat looks out a doorway full of snow. There is an indentation in the snow to her right, from where she tried to step. A small amount of snow accumulates on the cat's head and back.

I received the book from @leahrosekessler.bsky.social today!

A copy of "Rat Fair" written by Leah Rose Kessler and illustrated by Cleonique Hilsaca sits on a light wooden background. The book cover is colorful. A child holds a sandwich board that says "ART FAIR" and two cute rodents look on.

It's Caturday! Here's Anji.

A black cat lies on a cream carpet with a couple toys, one of which is a tiny, square, pink pillow filled with catnip.

I'm often a black cat.

Y'all deserve more cat posts. Here's Anji, exploring the shower.

Going over a training video and I am just struck by this one slide. Tempted to photocopy it and leave it in the meeting room anonymously ahead of the next department head meeting.

A screen cap reading "How does your organization nurture the feelings and emotions of staff to ensure that all are 'okay?'"

I am absolutely pissed at Rep. Bergman for his dismissive reply about the IMLS. He & his staff know nothing! Nearly everyone I know who wrote him got this boilerplate, showing he ignored all the facts we shared.

Rep. Bergman (MI-1) demonstrates how he knows nothing of how Michigan uses its IMLS grants.

Here is Supercat Anji, flying through her dreams on my husband's lap.

I made this sign 8 years ago for the March for Science. Pulled it out for the protest at the post office today. Told lots of people about the E.O. eliminating the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Percival the Pangolin (stuffed animal, purchased from the Brookfield Zoo gift shop) and Anji (black cat) want to raise awareness for World Pangolin Day, the 3rd Saturday of February. Pangolins are the most trafficked mammal in the world!

Space: The Final Pooping Frontier. Thank you to Junior Library Guild for sending this to my library.

Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, happy Pancha Ganapati, or may you just have a good day.

I made it past the 75% mark of my #NovelQuest project for the month. This felt more relaxed and less urgent than NaNo. Looking forward to what work we'll do next on Writing Quests!
