“To those women here who fear the anger of women of Color more than their own unscrutinized racist attitudes I ask: Is the anger of women of Color more threatening than the woman-hatred that tinges all aspects of our lives?” -Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider #currentlyreading #readbannnedbooks #booksky

You know where you can go and not worry about breaking the economic blackout today? Your local library! All those books and you won’t spend a penny!

I’m no better than a house plant, you give me water and put me outside in nice weather for half an hour and I’ll realize life is worth living

Watching Love is Blind while in a healthy, happy marriage really makes me me feel like I caught the last chopper out of Nam.

Take a moment to be still where you are and take a few deep breaths. "I am present." "I am safe." "I am still." You are still. Still here, still living, still persisting. Still loved and still protected. Still full of potential. Still full of opportunity. I'm glad you are still here.

Small, actionable things you can do for free: - Go to the library and check out some banned books (and then read them!) - Call your reps with the 5calls app - Check on your people, make sure everyone is keeping their head above water. Offer help when you can, ask for help when you need it.

The fact that I have a Barnes & Noble gift card to spend this weekend is the only thing that has kept me going this week.

Seat belts, everyone 💚 If you’re on the struggle bus, please remember your seat belt (your seat belt is self-care). It is NOT selfish to prioritize your mental health, take care of you. Visit your local library or favorite bookstore, watch your comfort show, drink some water, pet all the dogs… 💚

On my Love is Blind bingo card: - two amazing women fight over an extremely mediocre man - a man has a breakdown after one (1) serious discussion with a potential partner and gives her a monologue about how he’s scared of his feelings - any mention of being bi/pan will cause a freakout

My dose of escapism for the weekend is the new season of Love is Blind and I’m discovering all over again how this show makes me feel good about my life decisions. I’m not a perfect person, but I’ve never gone on a reality tv show to find someone to marry.

Fascists hate art. Art relies on nonconformity and fascism can’t thrive in nonconformity. Fascism is full of people who wanted to be creative but weren’t and people who used to be creative but lost any creativity they had to fascism.

I wonder how many people throughout history have also had to cope with this “the entire world feels like it’s on fire but also someone has to do the grocery shopping and make dinner” feeling we’re all experiencing.

I was having a bad morning and made it better by wearing my favorite converse, drinking some coffee, and watching vine compilations. So we’re staying aggressively millennial despite the horrors.

Gentle reminder that it’s okay to step back for a minute and rest. The good thing about resistance is we can take turns. Take a breath, then take up the work so someone else can have their break. We’ve got this.

"What happens to books that nobody reads?" the king asked. "We send them to the archive for safekeeping," the librarian said. "There are many more books in the archive now than we have on the shelves." "That must cost a fortune!" "Not at all. Centuries ago, we found a dragon who hoards books."

Nothing heals my soul like local bookshops and coffeeshops. They’re spaces of peace in a world of chaos.

The cognitive dissonance of listening to my coworker talk about the concert she’s going to tonight while I’m making a mental packing list for a go-bag is uh. Sure something.

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

If I can suffer through listening to Ted Cruz’s dumb voice on his answering machine, you too can call your reps. Be a nuisance. Make them hear you.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.
