A friend texted to ask if I’d written a book recommendation she found at a local bookstore. It was written in rainbow ink, spoke about how graphic novels are an extremely valid form of storytelling, and was signed “Beck.” I didn’t write it but I feel like I have a literary doppelgänger out there.

You know where you can go and not worry about breaking the economic blackout today? Your local library! All those books and you won’t spend a penny!

Watching Love is Blind while in a healthy, happy marriage really makes me me feel like I caught the last chopper out of Nam.

Small, actionable things you can do for free: - Go to the library and check out some banned books (and then read them!) - Call your reps with the 5calls app - Check on your people, make sure everyone is keeping their head above water. Offer help when you can, ask for help when you need it.

The fact that I have a Barnes & Noble gift card to spend this weekend is the only thing that has kept me going this week.

Seat belts, everyone 💚 If you’re on the struggle bus, please remember your seat belt (your seat belt is self-care). It is NOT selfish to prioritize your mental health, take care of you. Visit your local library or favorite bookstore, watch your comfort show, drink some water, pet all the dogs… 💚

my husband had the same problem, it was such a pain 😭😭 but once we got his paperwork ready to submit, his passport did come through really quickly! definitely worth the extra fee to expedite if you have the funds.

- anyone who describes themself as having “golden retriever energy” turns out to be a complete monster - two women realize they’re both being lied to by the same man - the reunion will have at once too many questions and somehow not enough ah the same time I fucking love this show.

- at least one progressive woman compromises her morals for a “moderate” man who’s actually sexist and racist and doesn’t want to come out and admit it - multiple parties where it’s obvious the producers have been pressuring contestants to get drunk so there’s more drama

On my Love is Blind bingo card: - two amazing women fight over an extremely mediocre man - a man has a breakdown after one (1) serious discussion with a potential partner and gives her a monologue about how he’s scared of his feelings - any mention of being bi/pan will cause a freakout

My dose of escapism for the weekend is the new season of Love is Blind and I’m discovering all over again how this show makes me feel good about my life decisions. I’m not a perfect person, but I’ve never gone on a reality tv show to find someone to marry.

Fascists hate art. Art relies on nonconformity and fascism can’t thrive in nonconformity. Fascism is full of people who wanted to be creative but weren’t and people who used to be creative but lost any creativity they had to fascism.

Thank you for the book rec! I’ve been thinking all the same stuff. I recently read Rachel Maddow’s “Prequel” which describes underground resistance in the US during WWII. People are fighting back quietly all the time.

I wonder how many people throughout history have also had to cope with this “the entire world feels like it’s on fire but also someone has to do the grocery shopping and make dinner” feeling we’re all experiencing.

I was having a bad morning and made it better by wearing my favorite converse, drinking some coffee, and watching vine compilations. So we’re staying aggressively millennial despite the horrors.

Gentle reminder that it’s okay to step back for a minute and rest. The good thing about resistance is we can take turns. Take a breath, then take up the work so someone else can have their break. We’ve got this.

"What happens to books that nobody reads?" the king asked. "We send them to the archive for safekeeping," the librarian said. "There are many more books in the archive now than we have on the shelves." "That must cost a fortune!" "Not at all. Centuries ago, we found a dragon who hoards books."

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.
