I just saw a TikTok where a woman was listening to Edelweiss and said she finally understood how Captain Von Trapp felt. And honestly, same. Excuse me while I go sob into my pillow for an hour.

Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots is well written, steeped in social commentary, fast paced, queer, imaginative, and fun. It’s also very angry and fiercely feminist.
You root for the found family of super villains.
I thought Hench was very good!

still thinking about that (very good) short story collection I read that was mostly surreal-ish horror except from TWO STORIES that were entirely just about having being turned on by a goth woman and realizing you want to gay kiss your friend while high

To answer my own question - my favorite things I've done at my library are probably DIY Sprayed Edges, teaching a yarn spinning class, making moss walls, and our huuuuge Pride & Disability Pride displays in June & July 🥳

I just saw the 2025 US banned books list. I just want to say, go read books. Talk about them. Share them. And please write them.
While many of these books will still be published, they do become less accessible when removed from libraries
Be a book punk. Read them all

(2/2) Several OR cities are dealing with this due to property tax compression from taxes passed in the 90s, but no other city of Salem’s size in OR has even THOUGHT about shuttering their libraries. City Manager and Council seem all for funding the cops though!!
