When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.

Garlic in my cooking and vanilla extract in my baking share one guiding principle: I add them with wild abandon, defying the recipe with a mix of audacity and playful disdain.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school.

Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.

Most men in romance novels respect boundaries, wash their balls, make sure she comes first, care about their children, are emotionally intelligent, and loyal to their relationship.

And then men make fun of women reading "fluff novels."

Because apparently those are unreasonable things to yearn for?

Use your excitement and relief to help a Palestinian in Gaza today - share their fundraisers, donate, use this energy to help them survive. They have a long road ahead.
