Mags 📚🎧🧶

I'm tired of being antisocial, but also, idk how to make friends in real life when I am disabled, queer, and I live rurally and don't drive.
Also idk how to make real life friends without scaring them away. Or them sucking.

If you, like me, are focused on book bans and censorship as one of the things you go hard on stopping, please tell your Reps to vote No on the ridiculously bigoted HR 7661. bookriot.com/hr7661-book-...

An infographic explaining that red hat day is February 26 to honor the day that Nazis banned red hats.

Remember to wear your red hats tomorrow!

It's the same thing as making the mess and then complaining that the room is messy so you're going somewhere else.

Books Unbanned (for Seattle and Boston) does not ask for an ID or verification of any kind. I actually signed both of my kids up and I ended up using my son's account since he doesn't like to read all that much (but don't tell anyone!?).

I don't know how old you are but uh, books unbanned (specifically Seattle's and Boston's) only requires a name, email address, city, state, and a birthday that somehow puts you between the ages of 16-26 to have access to their entire library catalog on Libby.

Do with that what you will.

I only have 3 on hold and 2 on Libby on that card. I just use my library card catalog/my accounts page A LOT 🤣
I just find it funny that the security system flagged me as a bot because I kept checking for my holds (since the system only texts me half the time)

Y'all ever have your IP blocked by your library because you obsessively check your holds too much and it FLAGS YOU AS A BOT?!
because that happened this morning 🤣

I want this vibe but in a book. Send recs. Please, I'm begging.

Unsolicited book rec for y'all:
Sorrowland, by Rivers Solomon.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I walked into this book expecting something COMPLETELY different and this was so much better than anything I could have ever imagined.
I wanted to scream and cry and shout and throw it down. It was too real.

5/$30 currently! ❤️ Ty to the helpers ❤️❤️

Hey #mutualaidsky
We've been sidelined by wound care visits and need some help with some things that got pushed back. Instacart isn't paying.
Can anyone help with $30 (or help us get close to that?) for Rx refills and syringes for insulin?

Looking to switch one of my book clubs from discord to another service. Throw some suggestions at me, because I'll be damned if I'm going to be submitting to their age verification.

(I don't know how to code or self host)

Looking for a new book club?
I run TWO of them!
If you want something more laid back, set in a casual atmosphere? Check out OOPS. Want something a little more Leftist with strong stances against AI and shitty people? Check out BtC!

The crowd roared to welcome Team Ukraine to the Olympics.

Luckily the crowd also roared to welcome Team USA and then booed Vance when they showed him on screen, this is the way.

Thank you Italy.

The picture of me wearing a red hat with a tassel

Finished this up last night. I absolutely love it, and this is my daily wear hat for now.

This shouldn't have to be said but for some of you this is your first time crafting for protesters:
Make it plain. If you're making scarves or hats, use solid colors and simple patterns. Nothing identifiable in a crowd, and nothing to link it back to you.

Hey #knitsky and #crochetsky
Can you drop me some links below for patterns that are on sale right now with proceeds benefitting keeping immigrants safe/protesters fed/etc? I am already working on my Melt the Ice hat, but I want to see what else is out there.

Oh yeah, I keep it on dark mode for that reason, but it's too invaluable of a resource to give up after 20 years of using it. Thank you for checking! ❤️

Oh ravelry is definitely accessible! (I've been there since beta testing days lol)
