Hi, I'm Emily. I homeschool my 12 year old so we can go on adventures, read amazing books together, and learn real history- the history of people and resistance. I also help run a weekly food pantry.I mostly post about books.

@nomdeb porn? Lego porn? Not serious just to make him laugh. How touched would you be if someone made you a mockup of a porn?

Important cultural question because I am hearing mixed things. You are in the shower, typical day. What do you wash?

Sharing a picture of our oddest looking hen! I don&#39;t recall what breed she is, we always let the kids pick a mix. I didn&#39;t figure it out after a google image search. If someone has a clue let me know. But it doesn&#39;t actually matter! #chickens

Saw Knock at the Cabin. It&#39;s a very very faithful adaptation of Paul Trembley&#39;s classic #horror novel except (1) while it&#39;s tense, it is more of a meditative thriller than a horror film and (2) changes the ending in a way I think most people will prefer. He de-Trembleys it (if you know you know). Best part of the film is the performances and I did get emotional. It was an interesting and well performed film. Not a classic but I don&#39;t regret going. #movies

The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains, a novella by Neil Gaiman illustrated by Eddie Campbell, is good. Really good. The feeling I have when reading it was the feeling I had the first time I realized what gifted storyteller Neil Gaiman is. #bookstodon #books

Middle school librarian in Florida shared this with a facebook group I&#39;m in, post-book-purge. It is important to note the governer of Florida who is championing this ban is a frontrunner for the GOP nomination. #america

Habibi by Naomi Shihab Nye is a 1999 #middlegrade novel about an Arab-American girl who moves to Israel. She is wistful about moving ...she&#39;s just had her first kiss at home in St. Louis. This book is so warm, and funny, and moving, and charming. It also deals with identity and culture and conflict. But mostly it&#39;s a lovely portrait of being a young teen. This author is a poet, and the story is semi-autobiographical. A #homeschooling readaloud for us. #books #bookstodon

The Wandering Mind: What Medieval Monks Tell Us About Distraction I&#39;d would love reviews about this self help book / monastic history from the #medieval community. I just enjoyed this related quote from a monk named John, mention in the New Yorker: &quot;“All I do is eat, sleep, drink, and be negligent.&quot; #bookstadon
