Also, when you get your library to buy my book, it's on your library's shelves. A hundred extra people might lay eyes on it a week, in person, and pick it up on a whim. How many books that you love have you stumbled across just because you liked the cover or saw it in a library display?
Libraries purchase books. When you see a book at the library, it isn’t “free”
the library bought it.
which in turn means that the community bought it.
In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.

It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

The irony here is painful.
Alice Wong wrote a column for Vogue called Disability Visibility. You can still find all her writing for Vogue under her author name.
But *Disability Visibility* - also the name of the advocacy group she launched - has been erased.
Exactly how disabled people often are.

Yesterday I went to the dentist for a cleaning. Worked myself into a major panic attack beforehand, sitting in the car & shaking. Actual dental work was just fine, but coming down from the terror took the entire day. Couldn't stop shaking. Bodies are stupid but brains can really take the cake. 🔨🧠

Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

So Jerk Dog is successfully rehomed, and his new people think it's charming that he jumps up on tables and desks.
We are very happy he has people who will dote on him. Queen Bean seems quite willing to be a solo dog. So all is well.
