Forgot to post April stats. Kid books ftw!

March stats! First fiction that I’ve read since I started on the Topaz committee 3 years ago!

Gonna be honest, my grandparents would be friggin disgusted. Grandpa got his shoulder blown open at Pearl Harbor and Grandma gave up a cushy gig modeling pantyhose to build planes, and y’all can’t even wear masks for each other.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Better late than never. Catch the theme?

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

This is Mrs. Florence Bell, the first nurse to go to the Royal Veterinary College of London. This is a cigarette card from my collection and in the info about her on the back it says “the more she sees of humans, the better she likes animals”. 1938.

January stats are in! (Goodreads divorce is final - join @thestorygraph.com , everyone!)

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

We deserve for our bodies to belong to us. We deserve lives we can live.

I’d love for cis people to read this.

Signal alone is not enough. If you are an activist, you need a complete self-defense against surveillance. @eff.org has been maintaining these resources for years: ssd.eff.org

This ~ 💯%

PLEASE REMEMBER:

trump's win percentage is shaping up to be the third SMALLEST in history.

He does NOT have a mandate, no matter what he says.

That means we push back against every single batshit crazy policy he tries to pass.

EVERYTHING.
Mandate my ass.

this rules so much, Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke is incredible. i also love the expression on Mariameno Kapa-Kingi's face

It’s really pretty cool that one thing you can do to support people you like is ask your local library to get their book because it doesn’t cost you anything, it helps them, and the librarian gets to know someone actually wants to read a book and not just use the computer for Roblox

Agreed, morning vibes. 💤

Maybe this is vague, so let me be clear:

Trump returning to power is itself the end of the constitutional order, one heralded by his failure to be disqualified from the ballot as required by the US Constitution, for his attempt to overthrow it by force. Everything happening after deepens the break.
