Mae Flowers @craftlibrarian.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Recurring event in my life: I'll try to look up a quote from a favorite book, end up on Goodreads (ick), and see that it has a bunch of 1-3 star reviews saying the book has "no plot."

Mae Flowers @craftlibrarian.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Letting moderates claim they were always against this blurs history. It hides the many ways we got here, which is in part due to the fascists themselves — but in larger part due to the centrists who conceded to fascist rhetoric. We could have prevented all of this. We need to remember how we didn't. 0101
