If you’re waiting for a charismatic leader to step up and fix everything, get used to waiting. There’s no mythical rescuer coming. There’s just all of us and the daily work of supporting our communities. Find a local org, get involved, help the people around you. That’s the only answer.

Please support bookshops. Independent bookshops. They are so wonderful. Yes you pay a little more. But I think of it as paying for the experience. The experience of browsing. And that oh-so-important bookshop smell. 🖖 Fu** big corporations.
