Started university classes today- as a former foster youth, I am so proud of myself for going back to school despite all the odds stacked against me.

I’m saying this in my capacity as an author and once and future library worker:
Read whatever the hell you want.
I cannot impress enough on you that the “important” books aren’t important if you don’t jive with them. The popular books, the canon, the whatever. Read what you want.

Maybe I was raised weird, but I'm of the opinion that people who do nothing wrong and definitely didn't sexually abuse anyone don't need to keep NDAs ready and waiting for people to sign in exchange for stacks of money.

While the convicted felon and his sycophants are attacking Gov. Newsom and DEI for the blazing California fires response.
Canada, Mexico and President Zelensky from Ukraine are sending their best to assist with extinguishing those fires.

Not a single lie detected.
Activists with disabilities are among the most radical, engaged, badass folks in the movement. Telling the world that you don't want to be in coalition with them is an act of political incompetence.

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing."
The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care.
