Federal judge orders Colorado district to return banned books to school libraries
The order prohibits the school board from removing books “because the district disagrees with the views expressed therein or merely to further their preferred political or religious orthodoxy.”

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.

I found this pretty porcelain shoe which happens to be a souvenir of Detroit. Just like my hometown, it's a little battered and chipped in a few places, but still beautiful!
