We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

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

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.

Know your rights. Pass these around…

#booksky: if you like thrifting books and use thriftbooks, i highly recommend switching to betterworldbooks! they have similar prices and actually donate part of their profits to literary/literacy initiatives and libraries! they also use their profits to help donate books to those in need. 💙📚

For all the flak George Lucas gets for his writing, pretty hard to deny the "so this is how liberty dies" line is an unfortunately spot on banger.

Make sure you buy banned books. Get a library card and borrow banned books. Read banned books.

Now's the time to stock up on your banned books!
Remember:
- physical media is best (because unless you own the PDF/Epub, Amazon can take it from you!)
- Shop local, thrift stores, used bookstores, or independent sellers
- Thriftbooks is not owned by Amazon and supports independent bookstores.

As the U.S. shifts into a volatile political landscape targeting critical thinking, I want to share an important reminder to the #booksky community:

The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies.

I know, Kindle users, it sucks—but your digital copy can be deleted any time.

Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books.

👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

Making animated movies into live action: tiresome, unnecessary, lame

Re-making every classic film into a muppet movie with a single human actor: sophisticated, erudite, revolutionary
