Today is a great day to pick up The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin. Take some time to reflect on what MLK was actually fighting for and not just the watered down version they try to sell us.

Black YA fantasy book rec of the day
Magic users in Orisha are oppressed by a ruthless king. One teenage girl sets out on a quest to defy the regime and restore magic to her people, no matter the odds.
A tale of resistance inspired by West African mythology & Yoruba culture.

This is an anxiety/ADHD thing but routine is WORK for me. People make fun of my planner obsession but I NEED to have my days planned to get through them and when I get unexpected stuff thrown at me it's hard to regroup.

a.g. sulzberger saw journalists standing up for american democracy against an advancing oligarchy during BLM, and decided that he needed a right-wing death squad standing between the doors of the NYT and the American people if he was ever going to feel safe again
rufo told me 'lol and you can't stop me' when i said he was openly lying about things, and the new york times continued to run an open hate campaign against trans americans for the next year
