Opinion | Libraries can help end the culture wars. That’s why they’re under fire. Nothing threatens authoritarianism like a free, quiet place to absorb a full range of information.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn

Not sure if it's just me or if other artists feel this way too, but for those who work in a professional art field, do you also have to fight to make art on your personal time? I spend all day being creative and solving problems, and then I get home and can't work up the energy to draw or create.

From that time I attempted to draw a #tarot card. Was supposed to be The Hermit ended up looking more like The Empress or The High Priestess. Ah well, still glad I pushed myself to experiment with different styles.

Uplifting diverse opinions is vital, but let's be clear: fascists can't be reasoned with. They thrive on violence and fearβ€”and they don't deserve safety or normalization. The only response to a fascist? Punching a fascist.
