If you feel overwhelmed by the deluge of bad news streaming out of Washington, that's by design.

Instead of feeling helpless in the face of it all, pick one or two issues that speak to you deeply and concentrate on pushing back on those.

This is not a sprint. Saving the Republic is a marathon.

If you’re waiting for a charismatic leader to step up and fix everything, get used to waiting.

There’s no mythical rescuer coming. There’s just all of us and the daily work of supporting our communities.

Find a local org, get involved, help the people around you. That’s the only answer.

I liked TikTok because I got to be who I really am in my heart: a creepy little lurker who watches everything and says little.

Friendly reminder that if you buy a book on Kindle, you're only paying for the rights to read, not own. If a book truly gets banned, it will be taken away from digital platforms like Kindle, nook, etc. Consider getting physical copies of banned (or other) books!

The effort to ban TikTok was started by Trump in 2020.

If Trump “saves” TikTok, he will just be undoing the problem he created.

We just lost an incredible community where we learned from each other, helped each other cope with difficult things, and made each other laugh. But humans need community, so we will find each other again. We will find another space to be together again. 🤍

It was never just another app.

It was Community.
It was Knowledge and News.
It was Nostalgia.
It was Entertainment.
It was Different.
It was Connection.

And yet we know that #booklovers will always find each other ❤️‍🩹🫶🏻
