Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚

Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

Pretty clear where this is going ….
Padilla: Will you defend birthright citizenship as the law of the land?

Bondi: I will study birthright citizenship

Padilla: You're asking to be considered for Attorney General and you still need to study the 14th Amendment of the Constitution?

When traveling, wash out clothes, wring out then wrap in towel and wring out again. Put suitcases on side on a table and pull out handles and use as clothesline.

They both spent years calling him a fascist...a dictator...a criminal...a rapist...

He wins & you they fly down to bend the knee?

I guess we all now "know their value."

Disgusting.
Sold us out for access.

We will not forget, and if we survive the next four years, we will not forgive.
Oh, Lord. Joe and Mika went to Mar-a-lago. "What we did agree on," Mika said, "was to restart communications." Access. "He seemed interested in finding common ground with Democrats." Credulity. They revert to their mean.

If you know people in Ohio, have them contact Gov Dewine’s office and point out importance that his Senate appointment doesn’t support RFK Jr or Gaetz.

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops.

They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities.

Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish .

Thank you.

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.
We need to get back to reading and critical thinking
Because 2024 feels different from 2016.
