I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library
yyyyyeah maybe we shouldn’t just “relax”
Yay for stress grinding 🙄 my teeth are too sensitive for this BS

I am once again asking you to read my author’s notes

Ash, babe, I don't know how you managed to avoid that spoiler for two years and I'm sorry you had to find out that way 😅
First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.
Trump just undid the only good thing GWB did in his entire 8 years.
"Even the story of his near-murder, his tragi-farcical trials, and his ordeal in the penal colony is told with humor—and humanity." Navalny's refusal to knuckle under is permanent, now that he's dead, and is still a threat to Putin's regime. www.thebulwark.com/p/even-in-de...
I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers
