RantWoman particularly cues this item to her binge blog themes about #NDEAM and National Arts and humanities month. RantWoman sometimes just enjoys thinking about "what if a person with a disability is doing that job?" or what all cool things are on the website / in the Facebook event. And Count one's blessings to have the tools and connectivity needed to access content is also popular.
RantWoman is appreciating some parallelism with reading going on around her. RantWoman is tempted to jump up and down about alternate formats, (terminology alert--important term!) the value of accessing THE SAME CONTENT AS EVERYONE ELSE and also ON THE SAME TIMELINE. RantWoman does not even apologize for shouting in a blog post. Please understand, all caps is the best RantWoman can do and should be considered a giant improvement over an urge to shout in person.
RantWoman, use your search engine. Do not harp on WHY use of search engine instead of other community path to information. Just do not go there right now.

Join the John Heinz Book Club in reading Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer.
As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on “a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise” (Elizabeth Gilbert).
Read along with us and join the conversation on November 17th! For more information or help getting the book, contact Kelly at kelly_quain@fws.gov
