Seriously, this is the shit that makes people stop voting for Dems. Or to stop voting completely.

On May 2, 2025, the Trump Administration released its FY2026 federal budget proposal. On page 39 he calls for the complete elimination of the only federal agency dedicated solely to supporting America’s libraries and museums. bit.ly/4cXcPFj via @everylibrary.bsky.social

A little something from the Wisconsin Bookwatch I wanted to share: "White Line Fever" by K. C. Jones is a simply riveting read from start to finish. An original masterpiece of white knuckle suspense by a novelist with a distinctive and narrative driven storytelling style... ❤️😭

If libraries have ever benefited you in any way, small or big, this is your time to speak up. Libraries quite literally exist to support community, to support *you*. Please don't let this administration strip away support for libraries. The impact will be devastating for us all. bit.ly/41QMGmL

if you are the kind of guy who thinks a lot of big thoughts about how you would TOTALLY punch a Nazi if you ever got the chance, I have great (meaning, terrible) news for you about how many public places you can go now where that’s a genuinely useful attitude to have

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Since folks are interested in moving to Kobo. A few thoughts incoming. I do not miss Kindle. The only thing I can't get in Kobo are KU books. So I gave those up. *shrug* If I really wanted, I could read KU on my phone. Overdrive is built in.

Finally some snow! The main downside to the West side of the mountains in the PNW, for us, is a lack of snow. So exciting when we get some!

5 ways to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth (cause the fed govt doesn’t run your house) 1. Find out what Sojourner Truth REALLY said 2. Buy a Black horror, scifi or fantasy book 3. Listen to “Naima” by John Coltrane 4. Send the victims of the LA fires in Altadena a few coins 5. Get a library card

Tired of folks saying all Trump reads are #picturebooks or that info should be presented to him in picture book form. I don’t think he reads any books at all. Picture books may look simple but deceptively so. If he did read them, he might learn a thing or two about empathy & kindness #kidlit
