March programming. Listed are four programs: Stitch and Bitch, Queer Horror Book Club, Queer Nonfiction Book Club, and Sapphic Sci-Fi and Fantasy Book club. A tag at the bottom says R.S.V.P. on Eventbrite. The background is a blanket with a book in front of a snowy forest landscape.

There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States — until now
We can't tell you what to do, but great info in here about the book ban bill in the House.
Been reading this one and it is, can confirm, a banger.

Today's life hack:
A graphic with two "queer history" banners at the top and bottom. The text says, "Archivist Rebellion: Defending Queer History" with the Ace Archive logo. It's on March 4 at 7 P.M. E.T. on Zoom. in the background are multiple newspaper and website clippings with asexuality language on them.
💡 We are SO honored to be hosting this free, virtual talk with the Ace Archive project, which archives the history of asexual and aromantic communities!
Join us to learn about amateur archiving, copyright law, the zine that changed everything, and much more! 👉 https://loom.ly/RgqhFpg
As always, we encourage you to follow the leadership of local organizations and participate in local actions in your community if you have the privilege to do so safely. In Massachusetts, we want to shout out the incredible work of LUCE
“There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the movement; the time is always now.” a quote from James Baldwin And Fuck ICE.
It’s Fuck ICE today, just like it was Fuck ICE yesterday, and just like it will be Fuck ICE tomorrow. No one is illegal on stolen land.
Like you, we’re devastated and furious. The QT Library stands with Minneapolis, Maine, and everywhere else being traumatized by ICE
We also stand with our partners locally and around the country in the fight against fascist, racist state violence – a violence that we are watching being wielded like a weapon against so many communities, including immigrant and Native American communities, in real time.
