You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.

1/ I keep returning to one core thought: civics education really matters. It’s absence, at least in part, is what makes a Donald Trump and a MAGA movement possible.

Struggling with this book recommendation assignment where the person I’m recommending things to has given me nothing. I’m so sorry to my childhood librarian when I said I just wanted “fantasy” and nothing else

It's weird that Looking for Alaska is the second-most banned book in the U.S., and mostly challenged by evangelical Christians, because the novel is about Radical Hope and how forgiveness is available to all people at all times, which are Christian concepts I wrote about because I'm a Christian.

I’m baffled by how many people dislike turkey. It’s so delicious my family has to make 2 or 3 birds for a family of 5.

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people

if you have access to a local library … USE ITS RESOURCES!
visit! check out books, even if you end up returning them unread. sign up for programming! request new books!
libraries are some of the best community spots around and it’s so easy to support them & help them continue to get funding!

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.
I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Anti-book ban legislation has been proposed in Michigan.
I had a chance to look at the proposals from the state library association months ago and they're GOOD.
Michigan may join several other states in being an anti-book ban leader soon.

on here to say if you have access to a local library, get a library card!! it helps with library funding and also a lot of libraries allow you to read ebooks via an app called Libby (you can also send those ebooks to your kindle!!!)
