When you’re coming up a brain can grow porous from neglect and noise and unrest, and though marred by forgetfulness I found healing in the books I read, hope in the promise of another chapter, and solace in the quiet rooms that held them. #books #libraries #library #reading

Makes me sick to hear people using autism as an excuse for the evil behavior of Elon Musk and Neil Gaiman.🤮 #autism #begood #fightevil
