Trump’s trying to gut funding for libraries: you can fight back with ALA. The President's executive order to dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services would be deeply harmful. We need to speak out. Take action NOW: tell Congress to protect library funding. bit.ly/ProtectLibraryFunding

Today I made a zine to inform people about the EO that would gut the #IMLS. I was asked to share, so hey, why not share widely? You can download and print your own copies at drive.google.com/file/d/1DUsm.... If you need help folding, search for Hotdog Booklet and you should find directions easily.

Green card holders also contribute more than they 'take' in terms of paying into services. They pay into taxes that pay for things they're not eligible to use. Immigrants actually make America great. Always have. Always will.

Love seeing the EP Solo Game Bundle out there. I think it's a good variety of games from the cozy, pure-journaling of You are a Muffin to the almost-boardgame quality of Eleventh Beast. Sketching x push-your-luck in EZB and hard, emotional choices in Tollund.
