You made your voice heard for libraries. The House listened. A House of Representatives Subcommittee just voted to continue library funding in next year's federal budget.
The fight to #FundLibraries isn't over yet, but this good news is thanks to your hard work.

Me as a child:
- cried when the vacuum ran
- covered my ears when flushing the toilet
- couldnโ€™t walk down the laundry aisle due to overwhelming scent
- struggled to make connections with other children
- read at an eighth grade level

Every single adult in my life:
She is so incredibly neurotypical

Just discovered that vermilion is in fact a shade of red and not yellow, and realized that I only associate vermilion with yellow because of Pikachu and Vermilion City. So. Thatโ€™s how my dayโ€™s going.

This is terrifying, and we cannot let it happen

Eliminating queer content - or content about any group of people - is a clear step toward eliminating them from public life, and then from life altogether, which is the end goal of the far right

A hot pink graphic stylized with a subtle damask pattern. A squawking raven sits on the bottom right, while another perches at the top left corner on a branch. An anatomical heart is superimposed in the center. The summary reads: 

A house is never without its ghosts. And the ghosts of Montresor are restlessโ€ฆ

Buffalo, 1881. Reunited after nearly a year, clairvoyant Madeline โ€œMattieโ€ Montresor welcomes her wife Lenore back into their homeโ€”once the stage for extravagant sรฉances held to entertain the cityโ€™s wealthy elite. But the house has changed dramatically in the time theyโ€™ve been separated. The rooms feel colder. The shadows seem darker. Mattie is tense and fraying at the edges, haunted as sheโ€™s never been before.

In an attempt to exorcize the house of its tortured souls, Mattie and Lenore must pick apart its many horrific secrets. As they confront a gruesome past, the veil between this world and the next grows thinner, the haunting more malevolent. And when a killer appears to return from the grave, they find themselves in a desperate race against the impossibleโ€”all while Death closes in.
