someone printed out a painting of the Continental Congress and put it on the breakroom chalkboard at my museum, with the caption "what's going on here? wrong answers only!"

current answers include:

"auditions for Hamilton"

"hot girl summer" (mine)

"me and the girls drafting a text to my crush"

"planning their Barbenheimer movie night"

"the Tennis Court Oath"

"trying to decide who will take the One Ring to Mordor"

"hanging out at an old-school Pizza Hut"

"roll for initiative"

"Elon Musk renaming Twitter to X"

The younglings played. The younglings read. The younglings talked. The younglings laughed. The younglings paused as they noticed their teachers watching them.

Not their usual mindful gaze, not a glance, not a watch to let them know they are being watched...a different kind of watch.

It was not unsettling. It did not frighten the herbivores. It did not threaten the carnivores. It did not alert the omnivores.

It was a watch that was familiar in a way. Different but familiar.

"Stop staring at us!" they cried

"We're not staring. We're thinking." they replied back, their gaze deepening.

"Well stop thinking at us." the boldest ones said

"Your still staring." the smartest ones said

"What are you thinking about?" the curious ones said.

"Your so small."

"..." "..." "..."

"WE AREN'T SMALL!" the younglings protested. The oldest most offended. The middle most annoyed. The youngest most loud.

"We don't mean your size." one started.

"We mean you're so young." the other finished.

"I'm 8 years old!" "I'm 5!" "I'm 3 and a half!"

"And you have so much to experience." they smile

"You still have to experience taking the shuttle by yourself." they grin to the eldest ones.

"You still have to experience losing your first tooth." they beam to the middle ones.

"You still have to experience your first playdate." they whisper to the youngest.

The younglings pout and huff. The younglings protest being small. The younglings, the smartest ones, figure out what's so familiar with the watch.

It was the same watch they got from their parents. It was the same watch they got from when they told them about the new friend they made. It was the same watch they got when they learned how to make a snack by themselves. It was the same watch they got when they learned something new and exciting.

It was the same watch they would see from their teachers for days to come.

I'm just curious...

If yes: what media/characters specifically? I find this so interesting!

If not: have you ever considered a career choice based on a form of media you enjoy, but ended up not doing it?

I asked a teenager in the library if they knew who were the artistic representatives of the renaissance, they just smiled at me and said: Ninja Turtles

Adventures in Librarian-ing

A few weeks before the end of the school year the Grade 5s in one of the classes that I supervise at lunch pulled me over to their classroom library to show me what they'd done:

"We organized the classroom library the way you organize the library! :D"

Here are some of the genre signs I use:

Going through my bday sale reports so I can do all the royalties reporting for my collaborators and 1) thank you all so much for the support! You made my Feb really killer and I'm glad you got lots of cool pose refs and 2) the amount of people who saw "40% off!" and instead chose to just... pay more than the retail price? Y'all. ♥

Tomorrow I get to be on set for the very first time as my favorite currently running tv show begins the process of filming at my work place for its third season.

I’m overjoyed, terrified, excited, nervous, giddy, and several other not-at-all masked emotions all at once.

I apologize in advance for the tunnel vision I am about to develop over the next six or so weeks.
