How mysterious!😻

Hi! Love the show! But continually putting in HP & JKR questions is sending a message that the show supports her. It's not a good look, friends! And there are so many other authors & series to platform that don't actively seek to harm vulnerable members of society. Thanks!

Libraries and books are from perfect. The Dewey Decimal System is imperfect. But we will never forget the work of Dorothy B. Porter. She decolonized the Dewey Decimal System. She helped us belong in libraries, in books.

We celebrate and thank you, Dorothy B. Porter 💜📚
