- It can't be true. It just can't be. www.tmz.com/2026/01/30/c...

- Anyone else get Heated Rivalry from the library only to realize it's the second book in the series? Heading back to Libby to borrow Game Changers first.
- If you’ve ever wondered how iFLY's STEM programs work or what your students can experience this is the perfect chance to check it out firsthand. RSVP to our 🪂STEM Open House for Educators🪂 and grab your spot: www.eventbrite.com/c... #FieldTrips #iFLY #Teachers #EdEvents #STEMLearning #iFLYWorld
- Happy Christmas to everyone that celebrates.

- As the sun sets and we light our menorahs for the first of eight nights of Hanukkah, I’m sending joy, light, and love to everyone celebrating and wishing all a beautiful holiday season. #HappyHannukah #HanukkahLights #SeasonOfJoy #DogsofBsky #FestivalOfLights #HolidayCheer
- I saved my poster from last year for this weekend since I knew it would still be relevant. It might actually be more relevant this year since I didn't know the title for part 2 when I made it. Donate to #American Cancer Society through my link to help #FightCancer bit.ly/coriruns
- This is incredible. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is available for school licensing. licensecursedchild.com?utm_source=b... I feel like this is really early for a show to begin licensing so it's incredible to see. Can't wait for the first student play to be presented.
- Will that four-part harmony version of #ForGood be on Spotify? #WickedOneWonderfulNight
- I am reaching out to my network for helping me find some examples of scams like the ones on this post. I'm organizing a presentation for the senior citizens in my neighborhood to help them avoid scams. Visuals are important so any examples would help. #DigitalCitizenship #OnlineSafety #AvoidingScams
- Awesome resource from #NYCC. These are comic books for Social Studies and Civics in tons of grade levels and units. They were giving out free printed copies but they said all the comic books are free in their digital library for all. So check it out. sites.google.com/schools.nyc....
- Having a great day at #NYCC. Became a Starfleet Academy cadet. Attended a panel about writing and creativity. Won some amazing prizes.
- Note to self: When an audiobook is so popular that the library's wait-list is 27 weeks, but can you remember that you have Spotify premium and get 15 hours of audiobooks a month. #Audiobook
- Books should open minds, not close them. Yes, some content isn’t for every age but banning books altogether? That’s not protection, that’s censorship. #BannedBooksWeek #CensorshipIsSo1984 #FreedomToRead
- Jane Goodall's legacy goes far beyond the forest. She’s a tireless advocate for conservation, climate action, and youth empowerment. Her life is an example of purpose-driven leadership. She may no longer be with us, but her legacy will live on. #JaneGoodall #EmpathyInAction
- I run with #TeamDetermiNATION every year to support the American Cancer Society. It’s not just about miles, it’s about meaning. If you want to help fight cancer, here’s my page: http://main.acsevent... #MakeYourMilesMeaningful #CancerSucks #RunningForACause #BlueskyRunners #RunChat
- "The villain, Gwi-ma, doesn’t attack with weapons, but with whispers of shame: You’re not enough. You don’t belong. The turning point? Rumi shows what she’s been hiding - and instead of rejection, her friends pull her closer." www.instagram.com/p/... #WednesdayWisdom #MentalHealth #KPopDemonHunter
- 🍯 May this Rosh Hashanah bring sweetness, strength, and renewal. Wishing you a year filled with purpose, connection, and peace. Shanah Tovah! ✨ #RoshHashanah #ShanahTovah #JewishNewYear
- I'm looking at the schedule for #NYCC and just wanted to check if @historycomics.bsky.social has any panels Thursday. There are some great looking panels this year. I plan to go to at least two between touring the expo.
- No spoilers but the memories in #DowntonAbbey, I forgot how long ago the first episode was. They were all so young. It really is like we grew up with them. And a beautiful tribute to the late Dame Maggie Smith.

- Beautiful tribute to 9/11 heroes to start tonight's #BananaBall game.
- I grew up in New York, about 35 miles from the Twin Towers. On September 11th, we could see the smoke from our town on Long Island. Even now, 24 years later, the memories of that day remain vivid. We still carry the weight of that day and honor the friends and family we lost. #September11th
- I'm super excited that this weekend I will finally be going to see the Savanah Bananas play ball live. For #WednesdayWisdom I’m sharing a clip from an interview where Cole talks about how that crazy idea grew into what it is today. youtube.com/shorts/F... #BananaBall #JesseCole #findyouryellowtux
- Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer. However, it's more than just a celebration of summer. In 1894, Congress passed an act to declare the first Monday in September as Labor Day, with President Grover Cleveland signing it into law. Honoring those that literally built this country. #LaborDay
- Another Broadway show has entered the professionally recorded stage. Finally seeing Ethan Slater as #Spongebob on #ParamountPlus.

- ALWAYS check policies at stores. I just got $20 back on something I bought last month. I was looking up an accessory when I saw the price dropped. The store has a 30-day price adjustment policy so I went back. Less than 10 minutes and they refunded my credit card the difference. Woot Woot!
- One of my sayings in education is FAIL: First Attempt In Learning. So this quote from Richard Branson makes a lot of sense. You can't learn and grow if you've never struggled. #MondayMotivation #FailForward
- Perhaps your route just got redirected and it might take longer and further to get there, but guess what... You're still on track. #GoogleMaps #GettingLost #MondayMotivation
- Remember when Dollar Tree used to joke about price checking since everything was $1. Not anymore. First everything went up to $1.25 and now it depends on the item.
- This week's episode of #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds was a love letter to the fans and to Gene Roddenberry. I truely enjoyed it.
- As teachers and students prepare for the new school year, this video by Duke University professor Aaron Dinin is amazing. Watch the Video: youtube.com/shorts/F... #NoteTaking #BackToSchool #WednesdayWisdom
- Sometimes we shed things we thought we needed. That’s not weakness. It’s the quiet power of patience. Holding space for growth even when it’s not visible yet. #Resilience #SeasonsOfChange #SlowGrowth #EmotionalWeather #StillStanding #MondayMotivation
- I kind of went fangirl last month at the #PilotPen booth. The guy gave me a new Dr. Grip (my favorite pen) and his business card. I reached out to thank him and also made a punny joke that I would love to pilot their new line of pens he mentioned coming soon. Today, I got a box full of pens.
- Nathan FIllion gave a commencement speech this year and just like everything he does...I loved it. Step 1: Be lucky... by showing up, working hard, and being kind. I cued the link to start right when he begins speaking (2:55): youtu.be/ou1f1ya2BoY... #WednesdayWisdom
- Challenges make life interesting; overcoming them makes it meaningful. What challenge are you embracing this week? #MondayMotivation #Inspiration #Growth #LifeLessons
- Kyrpto stole the movie. He might have been CGI (animal safety from those stunts) but he looked and acted real. Just a perfect pooch. #Superman

- Some people are aware, but I ocassionally faciliate STEM events on the weekend at #iflyworld. It's a lot of fun for kids (age 3 and up/40" tall in NJ) and kids at heart. I am now able to share my friends and family link online, so use this link for 20% off a package. Enjoy! share.iflyworld.com/...
- Are you a #Pokemon fanatic? At #ISTE25 I saw the Pokemon booth. That's right Pokemon was at ISTE promoting their new Pokemon Club Program. If you're interested in learning more, fill out the form and when they're ready to add more schools and libraries, you'll get an email forms.microsoft.com/...
- Huge shoutout to #LoopEarplugs customer service. I lost mine during #ISTE2025 and they are sending me a replacement pair. If you don't have Loops yet, I highly recommend them. They are so much more comfortable than foam earplugs. AND reusable. Referral link: rwrd.io/1qvpu0v?c
- I got #BananaBall tickets. Can't wait to surprise my nephews with the tickets for September at Yankee Stadium!

- I've never heard of Banzai before, but I did a double take when I walked past their booth last week during #ISTE2025. Check out this sticker, it perfectly describes why my handle is Making CENTS... It started as a couponing blog that’s since closed shop, but the name stuck. https://banzai.org
- Your last mistake isn’t the headline. It’s your next move that shapes the story. Getting better isn’t about being perfect, it’s about persistence, presence, and the courage to course-correct. #YourNextMove #GentleReminder #WeGotThis #MondayMotivation
