Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!
Poor people use libraries. Rich people shut them down because they don't *want* poor people to read.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Books are medicine. Not because they're escapist, but because they're human.
Reading is slowness, and nuance, and discovery—and compassion. It's attention in a world that's trying, at every turn, to distract you.
An author shares the intimacy of her thoughts, and for a moment, we're believers.
