I really wish that this piece, written by a teen who has been working with her peers to protest her school board's relentless book censorship and the erasure of their school library's budget, would get the attention it deserves. bookriot.com/elizabethtow...

Militant Mary — Elizabeth Kirkman Fitzhugh, 1914

for accountability, that's 10 cards signed, and a lot of follow ups I'll have to do.

we shouldn't romanticize unions, and I don't know that announcing how racist many union members and leaders are is like a successful organizing strategy

anyway if you happen to know how to help a born-and-raised Black West Philly resident who has been trying to find a studio/1br for literal months in her own neighborhood, my DMs are open and my Signal is in my bio

Frog and Toad sat close by the fire. They were scared. The teacups shook in their hands. They were having the shivers. It was a good, warm feeling.

Here is my Star Wars hot take. I know like ~canonically~ baby Yoda is the same species as Yoda and Yaddle. But I dont actually think he is? Look at those eyes. That’s not what Yoda looks like.
