Friendly reminder to support your local independent bookstore this weekend!

A slightly less friendly reminder to just not buy books from Am*zon at all.

I don’t understand why our propaganda machines are always trying to teach us, to persuade us, to hate and fear other people on the same little world that we live in.

Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚

Alice, the world is full of ugly things
That you can't change
Pretend it's not that way
It's my idea of faith
You can blow it off
And say there's good in nearly everyone
Just give them all a chance
Now let's give them all a chance

The brilliant filmmaker and content strategist @daviddylanthomas.bsky.social is out for blood. Metaphorically, of course. Help him out.

Right now, in this coffee shop, in this east coast town, an old man is singing along to Lucinda Williams. This gives me great joy.

Christmas dialogue in my house.
Child 1: What kind of Christmas music is that?
Child 2: That’s Fur Elise.
Child 3: Who’s Elise? She doesn’t even go here.

I never thought it was such a bad little tree. It’s not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love.

It's so hard to believe that what the world wants is us. It's hard to believe, whatever you're doing, that you're enough. We are all, always, enough.

Finally had THE TALK with my son about the Elf on the Shelf. My son's 15. He took it pretty well.
