Bruh 💀

I'm in a hurry this morning so I posted this and ran out of the house without double checking it.

WHY did I accidentally leave a font marker dead center on the cover?

Anyway let's all pretend it doesn't say "Blaka" bc you all like me and want to be nice to me

OPINION: The Chicago Public Library budget is under threat. Let’s remember what libraries do for us • The TRiiBE Cutting less than one day of the Chicago police would cover the $4.5M needed to ensure there are no cuts to library staffing and resources.

I wrote a mean letter on behalf of The Chicago Public Library because I care maximum that their budget might be getting slashed.

Give it a gander if you give a fuck about public libraries:
