Here's the truth about CBS. It has always struggled with everything, it never wants to evolve. If you're a television person, you know this about that network compared to others CBS
Is by far the most centrist right channel in existence always have and apparently always will be.

Fact is that this nation has been a racist/sexist/fascist/oligarchy hell hole for the vast majority of its history. The progress made in my lifetime was culturally significant but an economic failure. We have been mollified while the obscenely wealthy boil us.

Stay calm. Keep fighting.

A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom. β€” Dr. Martin Luther King jr.

Make sure you use your library cards. Check out books by Black authors, indigenous authors, queer authors and other marginalized communities.

Also, ask your local library to buy more titles by marginalized folks. We often buy those requests.

Use Libby! A lot!

I'm here fighting for my kids everyday in the ways I know how. I'm here trying not to get sick (again) because my stupid immune system is shot and exposed to everything. Because while people think we all should be running for boards, some of us are one paycheck away from not making rent.

Hell, I can't even get into a living history group without the right connections and certainly don't have time to rejoin a guild. There is literally only so much of me to go around. Right now, I'm there for your relatives that have dementia and health problems.

Telling everyone to run for a board or office isn't helpful. Many of us wouldn't get voted in. People don't know us. You know what I'm running for right now? Keeping a roof over the heads of my two remaining children. Getting my degree. Because no one is going to vote a USC w/a GED onto a board.

And ftr, I wasn't trying to be funny. Many of those books are actually dangerous.

My thinking was that it might make a point. But you are right.

Seriously, I hope the librarians go overboard and put away books that push the agenda of the far right based on exactly what they claim the other books are going away for.

Whelp, I guess they better put all the Biblical marriage and parenting books in there also ;) Non-traditional, violence, racism, etc.

I was just scolded for using fancy academic language & talking down to someone.

The word I used (after being asked if I got provide citations)?
