In 1942, the American President opposed censorship because books were weapons in the fight against tyranny.

If you’re in the US, you can watch PBS for free using the app. There’s a series of documentaries called American Experience that’s really good—each is about a different event in history.

Go watch The one about the Gilded Age in season 30.

It feels so familiar, it’s genuinely eerie.

All HP Lovecraft stories begin like “I will try and relay the events as best as I can manage, though what I encountered that September night may not be able to be expressed in human language, nor be comprehended by the human mind” and then the story boils down to ‘I saw a building that was large’.

Clubs and bars are out. Let's open a late night Bookstore where you can silently mingle, drink tea, and read into all hours of the night.

It's like Kant said, "Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck, and the entirety of it is stored in the balls."

Here’s why that’s a really big deal for EVERYONE 🧵

Don't forget to support your local library!

Now might be a great time to curl up with a book and decompress a bit.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library
