LeVar Burton smiles with hands behind his head as he lies down on a colorful pile of books. ENEMY PIE book rests on his chest.

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian πŸ₯ΉπŸ€―

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

β€œIt's not a safe time to be a woman," said one of my patients. "With someone like that in power, abusers can basically do whatever they want to us.”

constant online harassment as a form of β€œaccountability”promotes the idea that feeling bad about yourself and everything you’ve done on a constant loop in your head is actually good and thus makes you a better person. it serves absolutely no other purpose!

What if… the US stopped supporting Israel tomorrow? Half of US voters believe Israel is committing genocide and six in 10 oppose further military aid, polls suggest.

i think capital interests want people to be unfamiliar with Good, Human-Made Art. it’s easier to crank out slop, and we know people will line up to eat it (see Every Disney Live Action, AI generated art, etc)

The Founders created impeachment and removal precisely for this moment. They feared the president could become a lawless tyrant corrupted by foreign powers.

In case it’s not clear to some people, this is classic eugenicist rhetoric and a core feature of fascist politics. It implies that sick and disabled people are failing β€˜the nation’ and are thus a burden to be stigmatized, shamed, and eliminated.
