I realise that reading vast amounts of fiction, and buying about three times more than even I can read, is neither a substitute for therapy nor a solution to everything out there. However, in my defence, just fucking *look* at everything out there.

the book is Revolutionary Yiddishland. I'd say that The Bund, a Graphic History of Jewish Labour Resistance, is more accessible as an intro text for anyone unfamiliar with the politics of that era

saw the new FANTASTIC FOUR movie and was PULLED OUT OF THE MOVIE by the ubiquitous use in the sixties of characters HIGH-FIVING EACH OTHER

the high-five was invented in 1977 by gay baseball player Glenn Burke (and became a gay shibboleth til the straights stole it) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_five

For Times Like These, my go-tos are Daniel Cabot Puts Down Roots by Cat Sebastian and the oeuvre of @alexandrarowland.bsky.social , especially Yield Under Great Persuasion. Both are beautifully queer and breathtakingly compassionate books about choosing to do better.

wait, while we're on the subject of libraries, can I present to you my favorite shirt. Instagram keeps offering for-profit brands that have completely bitten this design, but this is the one that actually raises money for a D.C. public library
