Jen Ho, a TikTok creator, warned the Asian MAGA, that Asians are closer to the undocumented than they are to the MAGA movement.

Yan Can cook demo. He was highly entertaining. I hope I have that much energy in my 70's.

As a kid, I always wondered why I was so obsessed Star Wars. I always wondered why it was so important.

As an adult, I get it now. Star Wars at its core is a story about fighting authoritarianism.

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Innovative Study by UPenn and NYPL Finds That Public Libraries Positively Impact Community Health and Well-Being "Our research found that patrons experience refuge, joy, connection, purpose, and expansion through their library use"

"A whopping 82% of people who used the library’s physical space and 79% of people who physically attended programs reported more optimism regarding the future, compared to only 58% of digital-only users."

Our physical space and resources matter *greatly!*

Build community. May not be your neighbors but live close. Support your library. Education is vital. Learn a new skill that's related to wellness or sustainably.

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
