Lately, instead of counting 25 seconds for my daily plank and V sit I’ve been reciting Snyder’s lessons on Tyranny. Trying to get to where I can do 10 in the morning at 10 at night.

The Ohio House has proposed eliminating The Public Library Fund (20% of the @columbuslibrary.bsky.social budget, and higher in other library systems.) OH libraries would lose $100 million.

So great to have @scalzi.com and @maryrobinettekowal.com at the @columbuslibrary.bsky.social today! My favorite bit was the answer to this question: how do you write about something you don’t know? Scalzi: as a straight white man, I make shit up. Kowal: As a woman, I also need it to be correct. 😂
