The American Library Association (ALA) made a fundraiser campaign #ForOurLibraries, individuals are able to make an account and join the cause to help raise money. I was on the fence of starting one, but now here it is. The campaign will remain open until December 31st.

Finally got the chance to stop by my local bookshop, I can't tell you how much I wanted to get. I'm really going to have to get the Libby app started so I can get through all the books on my shelves, that way I can make room for ones I love and enjoy.

I was supposed to write and stream for Fanfic Friday tonight, but due to my library's meeting this morning AND a surprise staff event tonight, there won't be a stream today.

Book banning is not the solution—talk to your kids about what they're reading and how you feel about it.

I cannot express to you how urgent it is that we all loudly and constantly support queer media right now. It is my number one goal for this year, to support and promote as many queer artists as possible.

You made it halfway through the week *and* we still have free shipping? Sounds like the perfect time to treat yourself to a new book and support indie bookstores in the process. 📚

Oh my, "Look the Other Way" by Beartooth gets me almost every time. Maybe also "I Was Alive" by the same band too.
