Soooo many people argued me down about this as though it was a joke.
Reminder:
Project 2025 spelled all of this out in writing.
Teraji Henson told EVERYBODY to look it up.
Michelle Obama told EVERYBODY to look it up.
Kamala Harris told EVERYBODY to look it up.
Stop pretending people didn’t know what was coming.
They either knew, or didn’t care to know, which

It is March 2, 2025. My plan was to leave the world on March 2, 2024.
What a difference in a year. I still have bad days. But reasons to stay are easier to find each day.
Thankful for family, for friends, for library kids who ARE going to save the world. Once a library kid, always a library kid 💚

Some of y’all men only respect black women until we say or do something you don’t agree with.
Then we’re all types of “bitches”.

Special National Women’s Month Post, let’s show love to the God Mother of the Women’s Civil Rights movement, Dorothy Height. Dorothy was the first person to shed light on black women’s illiteracy, unemployment and voter awareness. Her efforts are time tended to get overlooked because of her gender.

"When they come repentant, we have to be prepared to accept them back into the fold."
Prove it. This isn't the first time in history we've been so divided, and every time this entreaty is floated. It didn't stop them from falling out or reversing direction then. Prove leaving them out isn't better.

Sadly, it will likely take thousands of deaths for them to admit that these policies are wrong. Saying I told you so to dead people is pointless tho.

Straight Black men let go of homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, and patriarchy. I promise you’ll be freer than you could’ve ever imagined
We’re losing rights and y’all are debating men in matching pjs hanging out….. PLEASE. It’s not that deep. Nothing makes you gay unless you’re gay. Please turn your thinking caps on.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this.
Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.
