Bun is such a goofy ball fluff most of the time I occasionally forget she’s also a very pretty cat.

You deserve happiness and nice things. You deserve a huge library with one of those rolling ladders. You deserve a secret library hidden within that library, filled with ancient texts of magic and maps showing the way back to the realm of faerie, where you truly belong.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.
Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

The app Libby pairs with your local library, and you can read/listen to audio books in the app or send the books to your e-reader. Libraries are an amazing tool, and we should, as a collective society, patronize them obsessively during these 4 years because the alt-right is attacking education.

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

Or, if you are currently unsure if you’re pregnant, or if you are pregnant and considering abortion, keep the app. Track your actual ovulation cycle on a paper calendar, buy a pregnancy test using cash, and tell the spy app that your cycle is the same as it’s been every other month.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever. #books #reading #booksky #poetry

A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following:

"I am so tired of waiting,
Aren't you,
For the world to become good
And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two --
And see what worms are eating
At the rind."

Also, tonight’s four leaf clover haul! They’re all either too big or too uneven to make into charms, so I’m going to press them, wash them thoroughly, and add them to the morning tea. All of us here could use a little boost in luck these days!🍀
