Old drawing.

This moment always gets me. #calebwidogast #cr3 #criticalrole #ink #drawing
An ink drawing of a scruffy white man in rags holding aloft a glowing dodecahedron with two handles. He is declaring something, which is written on the sides of the drawing: I am of the Empire. But I am no friend of the Empire.

Please don't tell kids that old "First Thanksgiving" myth and pass it off as actual history. Share books like these this week instead.
Book cover RACE TO THE TRUTH: COLONIZATION AND THE WAMPANOAG STORY shows a Wampanoag woman with long braids paddling a canoe Book cover HISTORY SMASHERS THE MAYFLOWER shows a pile of Pilgrims dressed in black and white crowded on a ship with a speech bubble that says "It totally didn't happen this way."

Incredibly funny and also bonkers when you chat with library workers outside your system and learn that: everyone has had a problem with people leaving the husk of a rotisserie chicken somewhere in the library.
