The following video is an edited presentation of a Facebook Live stream taken at a Reading Time with the Queens program in the public community room of Marshall Public Library in Pocatello, Idaho. This footage is from 2020. We no longer perform at our local library due to safety concerns. While these clips may not be of the best quality, we believe there is still much to be gained from preserving this past event. We hope that you will enjoy this video!
(From Miss Cali - The poster for this program is horrible, but I found it fun. Do you get it? It's My Favorite Things!
This is kind of a proto-Meet Mr./Miss/Mx. program that we now do once a year. I had no idea what books to read this month, and I think it was Miss Nikki that told me just to do my favorite books. I leaned into the Maria von Trapp vibe and Voilà!
Nowadays when I sing "Your Family Is Perfect," I am very careful to clarify my meaning. I always meant for the song to ensure kids that whatever their family structure is, it is not lesser or broken. Does that mean that the individual family members can't cause harm? Of course not. No one does everything right all the time. But in a state that promotes a stringent "traditional family" as the "perfect" model, it is important to push back and say that all family structures can provide love and support. Kids need not feel bad if their family doesn't look like someone else's.
This is the first program I can recall having protesters. Back then, they stayed outside. Although...
I remember that a far-right blogger got a hold of the livestream video, snipped a part where I was reading "Marlon Bundo," then wrote a piece about how I was saying that God was a stinkbug. His reasoning? The stinkbug in the story doesn't like gay marriage, and God also doesn't like gay marriage, therefore God=stinkbug. For the record, I don't think God is a stinkbug. I think God likes gay marriage, actually. Furthermore, the stinkbug is clearly meant to be Mike Pence, and anyone who had a lick of media literacy or had seen the Last Week Tonight piece out of which this children's book was born would know that. • Mike Pence: Last Week Tonight with John Ol... I can't find the blog post in question any more, but I did find the linked video: • Teaching that God is Stinkbug If someone does find it, send it to me so I can have a chuckle.)
