I live with a librarian so this study confirms what I've already known. Libraries & librarians do FAR more to make your neighbourhood safer than the police could ever dream to. Bonus points: libraries don't just make your neighbourhood safer, they make it better. Plus librarians are cute as hell.

Open more libraries.

This is very insightful.
I'm often asked: What motivates Danielle Smith to do the radical things she does?
After all, many of her actions fly in the face of public opinion, the constitution, conservative ideology, and her own public commitments.
I used to equivocate.
I'm about ready to call it.🧵
