Something I did not anticipate with deleting TikTok is that it’s been harder than I expected to fill that niche in my mental ecosystem. Yes, passive dopamine machine, but one that could also be informative, creative, and surprising. I need a replacement, but I have no idea what, and maybe not videos

Things are mostly scary and bad but I got to crunch around in the snow for a couple of minutes last night and that was a welcome thing

Yes please
If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

Find something kind today!
Good morning. You are still here. Do something kind for someone you love today--and if you can, for someone else in your community, even if they're a stranger. We're in this together. ❤️

Imagine watching that sermon and thinking it was "nasty." We elected a man who thinks mercy has no place in a house of worship. God help us.

Just went outside and there aren’t enough degrees out there

Does he realize that he’s… oh I dunno… a HUSKY?? 😂😂😂
It's snowing in Houston and my husky HATES IT. Refuses to go outside. Won't touch the stuff. Looks at me like I'm a monster for suggesting he's supposed to enjoy it.

all the #BookTok slander I’ve been seeing the past few days by other bookish communities is quite frustrating ngl. While yes, the most popular side of BookTok definitely has its issues, the side I was on always recommended diverse books and championed marginalized authors. #diversebooks

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.

📚

Now is a good time to get those banned books into your personal library. I fear they’ll disappear.

Just remember, it is ok to be happy. It is ok to walk on bright sunny days and eat an ice cream and look out at the ocean. We cannot bear the weight of the world if we have no inner strength supporting us. Allow yourself the right to live.

I am scared for my friends, my family, my cats, my livelihood, and my ability to eat safe food. If I focus on the fear, I'll come apart. So I do what I can, send my letters, make my calls, support as strength allows, and hope that can be enough. I was built to whistle past graveyards, not dig them.

People, buckle up tight.

You're going to see a barrage of awful in the coming hours. Those of you who thought TikTok was your most pressing issue are in for a very RUDE awakening.

Check on your loved ones, SAVE your money.

For guidance, seek a Black elder.. there are plenty who survived Jim Crow.

View on my last visit to Sherrod’s Senate office in Washington. So much change was coming for our country. But I heard our grandchildren’s laughter nearby and felt the hope in that. Life is never one thing.

We are in this together, friends & kind strangers. Knowing that gives me so much strength.

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school.

Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.
