Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:

Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

If you don’t think this is exactly what we’re up against, then you haven’t been paying attention.

I’ve been on Twitter (now X) since 2011. I forgot what it feels like to be excited to scroll through my replies and engage with folks until now. I guess I had Stockholm syndrome.

Thank you, everyone.

I don’t remember it ever being “fun.”

This trip I have asked 3 people playing movies/news/talking on the phone without headphones to wear headphones. Each one seemed genuinely shocked that their noise was disturbing someone. Each one turned their volume off or put on headphones. Small victories in civility.

Imagine being one of the richest billionaires on the planet and having a 16 year head start and being so wildly incompetent that you lose the battle for ‘best social media app.’

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like

Isn’t it funny how the U.S. media is suddenly posting stories about the improving inflation picture now that the election is over? 🧐

Elon Musk confirmed that posts containing links in their main text are deprioritized on X in a revelation that renews criticism that the platform is restricting the visibility of and access to external sources of information.

Is Gladiator 2 worth seeing in theaters? I feel like it was better live.

This is messed up.

In case you're wondering...

Here's the "plan"

This is real.

I’m serious about this.

Who’s with me?

Saturdays are for relaxation. 😅

I’m so glad the left finally has a safe place where we can organize and strategize and love each other because boy howdy do we need it.

Okay but hear me out:

A nighttime bookstore in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, tea is served to all who enter, there is an emotional support owl in each section, and a buy one / get one free sale occurs during every full moon.

Leak the damn Gaetz report. Stop protecting a sex trafficking rapist.

To those still wondering why we lost a close election and what group Dems might have reached better, I say this: All this handwringing ignores the fact that more people voted for the convicted felon, sexual assaulter and insurrectionist.

Our problems run deep. Half the voters made an INSANE choice.

Please read books. I’m begging you.
