Read every banned book you can get your hands on. Give them as gifts. Quote from them every day.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality
[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]

It's from an old appearance but it's very relevant now. Nothing matters more right now than our capacity to be kind and generous and trustworthy and brave for the maybe small group of people we have direct contact with - and that can't be defunded and you don't have to wait four years to do it

Libraries are great for the books, sure, but it's also nice to have a quiet and safe space to sit and think- a place where no one is trying to sell you anything.

Word of the Day: ONELINESS - the state of being on one's own, but without any of the negative connotations of loneliness.

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚

One of my all time favorites, wore out a few DVDs and gush about it to any poor fool who will listen.

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people

If you'd like a light take there's Starter Villain by John Scalzi. A teacher is shocked to inherit his uncle's secret supervillain business, complete with private island and hidden laboratories. Real criminal oligarchs promptly come after him. What can I say? Sometimes I need a break from reality.
