Many of the most famous photographs of figures from the Civil Rights Movement are in black and white, which is one of the reasons we love these colorful images of Rosa Parks' 1990 birthday gala, found in her papers at the Library of Congress. Parks was born on this day in 1913. #BlackHistoryMonth

My wokest opinion is that every community deserves an extremely well-funded library that’s open to everyone and that librarians and teachers should make like ten times what they make now.

Strega Nona fanart! I think more of us should draw fanart of our childhood faves. What were the kids’ books that you remember fondly?

Getting paid for it.

Reminded AGAIN of that time two nice missionaries came to the house and I tried to tell them that a) I had heard of the guy and b) have a good afternoon, bye, but some brain wires got crossed and I said "I'm sure he's lovely" and slammed the door on them
