It's not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Want to read a book but can’t afford to buy it?
❌ don’t pirate/steal it
✅ join your local library and borrow the book for FREE.
If the library doesn’t have the book you want, ask if they can buy it.
You get to read.
Authors get paid.
Libraries stay open.
✨ Triple win ✨

It is far too fucking late to comply in advance, so just do the best you can to not comply.

Reading has always been political.
Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground.

They will throw another outrage at us Every Single Day to distract from the real damage they're doing to enrich themselves and consolidate power.
Watch what they do, not what they say.
Protect the vulnerable.
Take care of yourself.

I had about four boxes of books yet unpacked from my move in July. Tonight I went hunting for every book (in addition to On Tyranny) that I think is going to be necessary reading for the coming era.
I’ll add more as they come to me.
