Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library exists with her own funding, in addition to state funding. States, such as Indiana, are beginning to cut such funding. Her library program gifts FREE BOOKS TO CHILDREN. We ride at dawn for Dolly Parton, always. Thank you for your book joy💛 tinyurl.com/DollyYahoo

Bridget “Biddy” Mason was born enslaved in 1818 and forced to suffer grueling conditions. After gaining freedom in 1856, Mason worked as a nurse and midwife and eventually became one of the richest women in California. She used her money to start a daycare center and fund community care efforts.

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… 💚

People you love will die as health care costs rise and your government pulls back. Ignorance will grow deeper and wider. Farms will fail and families with children will go hungry. Bridges will collapse. The rich will live well off the back of your labor. This is the Republican vision.

Today, @underthewillotree.bsky.social and I each applied for a New York driver's license, set up a shrine for my parents, had a cookbook conversation and dinner, and played Super Mario Party Jamboree. "To a good time during a hard time." - Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, S01E01)

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

Meanwhile in this wild world, some good news: Dolly Parton has donated more of her millions to build a tranquility/peace garden outside a hospital for patients and families to have a calming space together. #dollyparton #saintdolly #whatwoulddollydo

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

I know books are cheaper and hand delivered to your door step if you order on Amazon. I know. I understand times are rough and things are expensive. I just ask you please consider once in a while to go to a local bookstore. Or visit a library. They'll even order books for you. Please I beg of you.

i’ve gotten a lot of messages from baby queers being like “will we get through this” and the answer is yes. i don’t know how it’ll all go down and it will suck for a while but your human spirit is 10000x stronger than their hatred. it’s the only reason you’ve gotten this far

In coming months and years, take care of yourselves, but also don't let them exhaust you into resignation. When we've had time to regroup, may we all be the vibe of the lady hitting a Nazi with her handbag.

In “Batman Returns,” the Penguin orchestrates the kidnapping of a baby that he “thwarts” to make himself look like a hero in the eyes of the public. Just thinking about that scene a lot tonight…
