In the boxes of the books from my grandparents, I found and claimed these 1884 edition of Little Women and 1886 edition of Jo’s Boys by Louisa May Alcott. Both were given to my grandma in 1927 when she was 13 by her aunt.

PREFACE.
192)
"Go then, my little Book, and show to all That entertain and bid thee welcome shall, What thou dost keep close shut up in thy breast;
And wish what thou dost show them may be blest To them for good, may make them choose to be Pilgrims better, by far, than thee or me.
Tell them of Mercy; she is one Who early hath her pilgrimage begun.
Yea, let young damsels learn of her to prize The world which is to come, and so be wise;
For little tripping maids may follow God
Along the ways which saintly feet have trod."
Adapted from JoHN BUNYAN.

I found the bookmark that I made as a kid, so I'm using it now. 😆 #ReadingIsCool
A handmade, laminated bookmark sits inside the open pages of a book. The bookmark has a pink & gold tassel at the top, and "Reading Is Cool!" is written in pencil. It also includes drawings of a purple flower, red book, and yellow smiley face.

The bookmark sits inside the novel, 𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭, 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵𝘦𝘥, by Susanna Kaysen.

What makes you think Republicans will give up the White House, ever, since the Supreme Court said they don't have to? They're saying the quiet parts out loud, now. I think it's optimistic to say we'll retake the White House in 2041. That's only four presidential elections away... & a revolution.

Gov. Hochul just announced she will advance legislation that gives New Yorkers whose constitutional rights are violated by the fed gov, a clear path to seek justice. This is possible via a statute called the Universal Constitutional Remedies Act (UCRA). She said this about her state's proposal:
"No one, from the president on down, is above the law. That’s why I will move to have New Yorkers hold ICE agents and others accountable in court when they act outside of their scope of duty. We need accountability.""This does not interfere with local law enforcement or public safety. It simply affirms a core truth: power does not justify abuse. And if someone’s constitutional rights are violated here in the state of New York, I say, they deserve their day in court." Governor Kathy Hochul, State of the State Address
