This was part of the $250M election donation deal.

Incredibly talented author & illustrator @vashtiharrison.bsky.social will be joining us this week to talk about her Caldecott Medal winning book, Big. We can't wait!! This powerful picture book is a must read. On a scale of 1-10, how excited are you? We are off the charts at 11!

The fact that they’re tracking autism and not the bird flu automatically tells you they’re operating on eugenics and not actually wanting people to be healthy. They want you sick, disabled, or dead.

Let's talk about the so-called Save Act. Don't let the name fool you. This bill doesn't SAVE anything - this is 100% a VOTER SUPPRESSION bill. #HandsOffHerVote

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available? It's literally called Library Extension.
