A megalomaniac is in control of the United States of America, and his first acts as president have viciously targeted minority rights and undermined regulatory agencies that keep the American people safe. Now he’s coming for Canada.

We must take a stand against Trump and everything he stands for.

I enjoyed this graphic novel about a daughter and her parents navigating old age and death. It’s rare to read an honest depiction of a family that loves each other but doesn’t really get along (but without the huge dramas of most dysfunctional family sagas)—lots of dry humour despite the sad topic.

This book was excellent: Funny, sad, scary and hopeful. An important series of conversations that show the experience of contending with race in America as a woman with Indian ancestry and a biracial child.

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

Nazis would infiltrate punk bars with one guy.

One guy's there, he's not doing anything. Not hurting anybody.

Next day, it's two guys, still being chill, keeping to themselves.

Then it's 8. Then 20. A week after that first guy, it's a Nazi bar.

Twitter didn't ban the Nazis, now it's a Nazi bar.

Great article!

“But to suggest we should yield [to] Trump’s odious politics…is unacceptable…We cannot abandon the most vulnerable communities to assuage the most powerful…[T]he goal posts would keep moving until progressive politics became indistinguishable from conservative politics.”

You want to debate about things like tax policy or public transportation? Sure! You want to debate about other people’s human rights? Get bent—I’m smashing that block button!
Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

Public Libraries can be wonderful places where children and adults can find books that they can see themselves reflected in, no matter who they are, and books that can introduce them to entire other lived experiences. Both are so valuable!

My TBR pile just keeps growing! I’ve been on a mystery kick, because I need escapism. I’ve been alternating with more literary fiction, but also with random beach reads. I could read through my TBR by the end of next year if I refrain from buying more books, but the chances of that are…nil.
