“Satan is in Libraries”
Well if he can provide photo ID with his current address then he is entitled to sign up for a library card. We also have other ways he can sign up if he is currently without identification

Libraries are for everyone.
There's a line in this story... "In the beginning, you don’t take care of yourself because your brain is just off,” which I relate to a lot more than I feel comfortable with.
I love working in a nonprofit newsroom and partnering with other local publications & organizations. I published a story about The Invisible Toll of Caregiving in this state, and 3 other newspapers (including my hometown Fort Wayne Journal Gazette!) co-ran it. mirrorindy.org/caregivers-h...
The invisible toll of caregiving
The task of caring for loved ones often falls on women. Over time, it can affect their health, too.

If you want to fight fascism, you must practice disability justice.
If you’re claiming to be on the left but believe disabled people are “expendable”, you’re aligning with fascists.
If you are against tyranny but refer to people like me as “a drain”, you’re carrying water for the Nazis.

as we reckon with a culture and a politics that subordinates and abuses children, we should look everywhere we can for examples of public institutions that respect the autonomy and dignity of children, and fight like hell to protect them.

Hope is revolution
Your dreaming and planning is called HOPE and it is a necessity during chaos. People like you are how and why we move forward and out
It feels weird to dream and plan for the future in the midst of current chaos.

In my conversations with others, and specifically in regards to teachers and parents, ABOLISH ICE is like, um, moderate. The much more common vernacular is "FUCK ICE".
With all due respect, this is going to be a non-negotiable issue for a lot of people moving forward. If I'm wrong, well, I'm not.

Um, let me take a hack at this:
Not a surprise that Rep. Baumgartner supports ICE’s reckless and cruel actions.
Abolish ICE is now a moderate position in America. That's why our candidate* in this district is running to ABOLISH ICE.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

Narrow your gaze to what's in front of you, not the whole world and all its grief. Focus on one small thing at a time that you actually can influence.
