Support local libraries. We’re witnessing censorship on a massive scale. Digital scrubbing is modern day equivalent of book burning Our ability to get accurate info about public health, science, history, LGBTQ & marginalized groups is under threat Libraries will be critical part of the resistance

I’m burying myself under a blanket tomorrow and working nonstop on my current Chapters game. Here we go with four years of denial 😅
