Know what we find really terrifying?
⏭ When people interrupt our reading.
⏭ Companies that send their CEO to the moon, all while trying to put small bookshops out of business.

Say this louder, only 58 years ago you could not marry someone of a different race in most states. My family would not have existed
Happy Loving Day! 58 years ago today, Mildred and Richard Loving—a couple from Virginia—won a historic legal battle in the Supreme Court to end state bans on interracial marriage. Today, we celebrate their bravery and love as we continue our work to end discrimination and racism.
