I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

Following up on some posts I was making: I truly believe that the way we teach the Civil War is the reason we were unequipped to handle January 6th and the fallout.
Even among “liberal” takes on the war, we are too kind to Confederates. I do not have that problem.

Man-O-Sphere garbage is clearly a problem but Gen X white dudes are more right-wing and far more likely to vote.

Casual reminder: Disabled People cannot flee the country.
We are considered a "drain of resources" on other healthcare systems, so other countries will NOT issue us visas.
The number of "Just flee" posts are increasing again, don't make me tap the goddamn sign.
