Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close is the best book I’ve read in awhile. “Humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion, wages war, and kisses with lips. So in a way, the more you kiss with lips, the more human you are. And the more you wage war.” #booksky #readbannedbooks

That was such a scary storm to drive through! When the flooding hit, and the cars started stalling out on the access road I slid into a parking lot and waited it out while getting pummeled with hail. Seemed like a tornado passing over. #austinstorm #homesafe

Wow, what a time to read this book. “Who cares?” she said impatiently. “It’s always one bloody war after another and one knows the news is all lies anyway. “Such things did not appear to horrify her. She did not feel the abyss opening beneath her feet at the thought of lies becoming truths.” #1984

Got hacked and just got my account back. Seems like a bot took over and followed a few hundred people here asking if they were democratic supporters to get me banned. But hey - I verified my ID and got back in. If you’re here - hi?! I’m not an Asian gymrat but I’m interested in saving democracy!

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books.
It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse.

Unbreak my heart! This month’s book club pick was a gut punch. I’ve read it before but even on the second read I’m blown away by Baldwin’s beautiful prose and perfect tragic tale. David, Giovanni and Hella cannot escape their fate or their true selves. #bookclub #bannedbooks #jamesbaldwin

A man, a plan, a canal, panama. Carrina came to visit and we got tattoos, brunched, kayaked Ladybird Lake, went to Guero’s for lunch, and SoCo’d it up at the shops like we were the “goddamn Austin Tourism Board” according to Aaron. So good to see my friend! My heart is full.

It is not OK to arrest someone for speaking about their beliefs. He is a permanent resident. A green card holder. Why is he being detained? They can do this to you too.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!
