Don't freak out. Just get yer boots on.
That's all, folks. Take a deep breath. See to yer people, get the kettle on, make sure ye know where yer water bottle is, get yer boots on. If you haven't been to yr local library in a mo, maybe it's time for a visit.

That's what we do. We do the Work.

A friendly suggestion: rather than focusing on other events today, I've been listening to MLK speeches this morning, & they're amazing—& very uplifting. As a start, I'd recommend his "Where Do We Go From Here" speech of 1967, which has a lot to say about love & power www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e0C...

"Duty of care" feels like a concept badly in need of a renaissance

Never shut up about libraries. If your local library sells merch, buy it. If they do events, support em. Just love the hell outta your library, folks. They're workin like hell to take good care of us.
We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn
Opinion | Libraries can help end the culture wars. That’s why they’re under fire.
Nothing threatens authoritarianism like a free, quiet place to absorb a full range of information.

Good morning. Time to get up, make art, love people, and fight fascism. Still.

Grandma from Tbilisi, Georgia
The general meaning of the old woman's words is:
“Georgians against Georgians. Isn't it so?! You are defending those who are far from the people, those who sit in their palaces, on their millions. My God, if I understand this, why don't you?”.

Youtuber: Here's how Stephen King wrote so much in his early career. Habit. Discipline of writing every day. Following his passion. That's the secret sauce to productivity.

Stephen King: It was cocaine. Also alcohol, but mainly cocaine. There's an entire book I don't even remember writing.

Me and Anubis are laughing at how heavy your heart is, man. He’s doing bits. Like acting like he can’t even lift it with both hands haha. Acting like he’s doing bicep curls with it. I’m like, damn, Anubis is in his bag
