🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO:

I’m not super interested in people who DON’T have chronic illness, auto-immune disease, ADHD or are autistic. These are my people, my America, my way of life.

News is overwhelming. People offline don't understand what's happening. Their rights are being pulled out from under them. Print out these flyers and take it to the streets. Featuring a QR cosd that links to explainer and action items.

our town has an event called First Night on December 31 each year with live music all over downtown and teens doing circus and juggling etc.. and I can't ever go because I don't have enough willpower not to stand among the throngs and scream, "Actually it's Last Night, motherfuckers!"

Thrilled to see Abby’s book getting much deserved attention. She’s just always brilliant. I love this one so much.

I've just written my first letter to the NYT Editor, in response to Jeremy Peters' anti-trans article. It feels unlikely it will be published, so I'm posting it here so it's not lost.

Thanks,

for laying out this cornucopia of lit-events this week in the valley (although none are actually held at Cornucopia)
