No one elected Elon Musk. As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences. We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

It’s never been more important to make sure you are getting your information from people who know what they’re talking about. (“Often says things I think are smart and that I agree with” is not the same thing as that.) (Neither is “sounds certain.”)

This is a sewing pattern. It is also a page from a late 14th century manuscript that is one of two primary sources for an important Icelandic saga (Sturlunga saga), but that was probably not important to the 17th century person who really needed a sewing pattern. #upcycling

YES THIS HAPPENED. Also in a general sense if ASL interpreters are working one of my events and there is time, I try to give them access to any prepared materials and generally go over things that I suspect will present an issue for them. The idea they're not needed or useful is shitty ableist BS.

one of the biggest and simplest ways to both do something, and FEEL like you’re doing something, is to find a small nonprofit with a cause you care about. donate, volunteer, join a board. offer pro bono skills if you have them (tech support, accounting, legal). help them fundraise. they need you

As an author, I love libraries & librarians. As a reader, parent & community member, I love libraries. An annual reminder that a library can prob get you access to e-books (Libby), movies & tv (often via Hoopla). AND many have useful tools etc to check out/use. They are simply great. support them 💚📗
