Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚

Book rec of the day! A cozy fantasy/sci-fi (that’s right, magic AND aliens!) that explores trans awareness, queerness, identity, relationships, music, demons, and donuts. Hits some incredibly heavy topics in a safe and gentle manner. It felt like a warm and much-needed hug. I cried. #booksky

Reading The Nightingale and political parallels in pre-war scenes are giving me chills…. #booksky

Just finished My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult. Destroyed me as a mother, as a sister, as a daughter. The way I gasped at the end 😭 Jodi Picoult will be forever my favorite author. #book #booksky

“You don’t love someone because they’re perfect . . . You love them in spite of the fact that they’re not.” - My Sister’s Keeper By Jodi Picoult

“Your teachers Are all around you. All that you perceive, All that you experience, All that is given to you or taken from you, All that you love or hate, need or fear Will teach you- If you will learn.” - Parable of the sower By Octavia E. butler #book #bookannotation

Finished reading this over lunch. Excellent. Informative. Timely. Important. Read it if you care about democracy and change. #booksky ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Embrace diversity. Unite— Or be divided, robbed, ruled, killed By those who see you as prey. Embrace diversity Or be destroyed.” - Parable Of The Sower by Octavia E. butler

"A rat in a maze is free to go anywhere, as long as it stays inside the maze" - The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood

“No one could have been ready for that. But… I thought something would happen someday. I funny know how bad it would be or when it would come. But everything is getting worse” - Parable Of The Sower, Octavia E. Butler

Perfect day to stay inside, make coffee and read #bannedbooks 📚☕️

Some book recs for Inauguration Day: - Hope in the Dark by Rebecca Solnit - Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown - Let This Radicalize You by Kelly Hayes & Mariame Kaba - Love and Rage by Lama Rod Owens - I Hope We Choose Love by Kai Cheng Thom - How We Show Up by Mia Birdsong #booksky

You can’t search #bannedbooks on TikTok anymore. So as #fucktrump.

Donald Trump wants to deport millions. He has no plans to lower the cost of groceries. He is gearing up to implement a dangerous agenda and distract you by extending the TikTok ban. Don’t fall for it.

Also don’t forget project 2025 (I know things are so chaotic rn) but real life handmaid’s tale scenario creeping up on us and I’m genuinely scared for my daughter’s future 😔

Trump 2020: “let’s ban TikTok it’s dangerous and it’s CHINA” Trump 2025: “Mr. Chew you can sit with us at inauguration”

Snoop Dogg performing for Trump was not in my 2025 bingo card and hurting me the way I never expected 😭

Wait so what happens to my pending TikTok orders???? 🧐🧐

BREAKING: TikTok Shutdown in United States. My quick message: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Being the only one in my family to panic / feel dystopian over TikTok blackout really won’t help either…. I need TikTok people to panic with me 😭

Am I the only one feeling SO dystopian after TikTok went dark? Like damn where do I get…. Like.. information?? For like everything??
