Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.

More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.

Now.

I love looking at hours of gameplay reviewers say a game has even though I don't think they have ever once been an accurate estimate for how I play games (exploring aimlessly + talking to every npc possible)

putting a 30 minute timer on the Bad App and switching its spot on my home screen for bluesky has been a wonderful decision for my mental health
