Currently reading “A History of My Brief Body” by Billy-Ray Belcourt.

It is an odd feeling to read a novel that makes you both invigorated to express creativity in physical form again and also absolutely terrified by the thought of it.

Here’s one part (of many) I’ve really enjoyed so far

Please consider donating. If that’s not feasible for you, please consider sharing! We need to support each other now more than ever

I love hearing people who have so much knowledge on one hyperspecific thing. Especially when I have to start the conversation off with “I’d love to hear about this. Also, please define what the first thing you said even is.” The convo always makes me feel a little dumb but also happy
Don't worry, I'll have a new hyperspecific interest in a week or two.

How Do Libraries Choose Books? Collection Development in Public Libraries: An Interview with Library Director Noelle Boc
