Would love to not live in fear of being arrested because someone calls the police claiming a book is obscene in my library. Consider signing a letter to your Texas Rep! app.oneclickpolitics.com/campaign-pag...

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

These library-themed DIYs, patterns, and more are great for keeping your hands busy/engaging in a new hobby/taking your mind off the world right now: bookriot.com/library-them...

It's also the day for my favorite meme! If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

Fantastic Protest in Big Bend National Park in Texas today. Not far from Terlingua. Many Park Rangers out of work from cutbacks. Population in the region is less than 1 person per square mile!

Better a pig than a gen A.I. user!

Because rage online is draining and leaves one feeling a tad despondent, here is a short poem celebrating libraries:

Seriously: arrest him. The governor should have state police arrest him and charge him with election fraud. Then immediately hold a press conference explaining you arrested someone for committing election fraud and will continue to do so. Just fucking arrest him already. You can actually do this

hey don’t forget! #art #ghibli #fuckai

Maira Kalman did the art for the intro of The Residence, right?

What a beautiful tribute. Rest in peace, LJ Smith. Gonna take a look at all my copies of the Night World series tonight and mourn (again) that it was never finished.

Support your library in any way you can - check out books, go to programs, volunteer, support the Friends of the Library.

Boom! We passed 10,000 letters sent to Congress in 24 hours, demanding they call for Hegseth to resign. Help us get to 11,000 in the next hour by sending your letters here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Yesterday I forgot my ADHD meds at home (the perils of switching purses) and my sister brought it up to me at work.. This morning she forgot to give my nephew *his* ADHD meds and I was able to take them up to school for him.

Pro tip: wear red eyeliner and red mascara and then go for a swim. Thank me later.

I never thought the goats would eat *my* face, said the head of the Goats Eating Faces party

Now with alt text bc everyone deserves to see this to brighten their day!

The only thing we have to fear is Fear Itself, a bitter racehorse who is out for blood

Done. It's up to 114 comments, which is still critically low, but a short note saying you do not support these changes is all it takes. Let's flood the zone and protect our DACA and trans friends, people!

Roses are red Violets are blue

So many awful things in the timeline. I just wanted to share some more flowers in between the righteous outrage.

Chatting with a patron (a former high school teacher) trying to figure out if we'd met before, he wondered if I was a former student of his. He's 39.

The daffodils starting blooming yesterday

A nice thing that's happened lately? We put on an amazing library fundraising gala over the weekend. Do I have any full-length photos of the dress I made? Of course not, that would be silly.

I'm not saying @deannaraybourn.bsky.social yelled at me to be more active here, but seeing her did remind me of how much I miss everyone I've met/followed because of her (also, I have new hair to show off)

Just remembered @deannaraybourn.bsky.social is going to be at Murder by the Book on Tuesday and started to tear up a little?

My cats and me this morning.

Persuasion was published on this day in 1817. Making it 207 years of every other love letter not being good enough.
