Rural areas hit hardest by catastrophic storms are the same areas now in danger of losing their hospitals after Trump’s Medicaid cuts just passed.

It's so important to support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. They are little corners of magic in a world full of chaos. Without them, a town loses a piece of its soul. Keeping them around not only saves them, but in many ways, also saves us.

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it.

And today showed us that beautifully.

No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, we gain solidarity. 

As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous — and we weaken Trump and his regime. 

Today's protests are about standing up to Trump, but they're also about standing with each other. 

Be safe. Be peaceful. Be strong.

Be the good weird, friends 🌟
I head someone explain this as “Good weird is being weird about your own business, bad weird is being weird about other people’s business” and I thought that summed it up pretty well.
Stop being the bad kind of weird. This place is for the good kind of weird only. 🦋

I mean…this actually sounds pretty perfect 🤷🏻‍♀️📚
Okay but hear me out:

A nighttime bookstore in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, tea is served to all who enter, there is an emotional support owl in each section, and a buy one / get one free sale occurs during every full moon.

I am lucky enough to be a middle school library volunteer and love seeing so many students coming in searching for that perfect book or asking for recommendations 📚
Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

Feeling so hopeful…don’t let me down Bluesky 🤞🏼
Bluesky feels like I took a Time Machine back to 2009 when I was still like “Hey this social media thing is going to make the world a better place.”
