Here is irony:

trump supporters wave the "Don't Tread on Me" flag, but embrace Trump's executive orders, similar to a king's decrees, which tread on the same freedoms the Gadsden Flag symbolizes.

THE BOOK OF THE UNNAMED MIDWIFE by @megelison.bsky.social.

What a wonderful novel. Follows a midwife wandering a post-plague America secretly supplying birth control to outnumbered, enslaved women. Humane & complicated & messy & dire & inspiring. And, wow, TIMELY.

I stopped taking Nancy Mace seriously about protecting women’s spaces after she voted for an adjudicated rapist to be President Of The United States. Actually, it was before that.

Nearly 400 books removed from school libraries in one Tennessee county. Based on my skim of the list, most of them appear to be books by women, authors of color, &/or LGBTQ+ authors.
