These attacks are ideologically motivated and structurally dangerous to our educational, civic, cultural, and community institutions.

A little something from the Wisconsin Bookwatch I wanted to share: "White Line Fever" by K. C. Jones is a simply riveting read from start to finish. An original masterpiece of white knuckle suspense by a novelist with a distinctive and narrative driven storytelling style... ❤️😭

If libraries have ever benefited you in any way, small or big, this is your time to speak up. Libraries quite literally exist to support community, to support *you*. Please don't let this administration strip away support for libraries. The impact will be devastating for us all.

if you are the kind of guy who thinks a lot of big thoughts about how you would TOTALLY punch a Nazi if you ever got the chance, I have great (meaning, terrible) news for you about how many public places you can go now where that’s a genuinely useful attitude to have

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Since folks are interested in moving to Kobo. A few thoughts incoming. I do not miss Kindle. The only thing I can't get in Kobo are KU books. So I gave those up. *shrug* If I really wanted, I could read KU on my phone. Overdrive is built in.

Finally some snow! The main downside to the West side of the mountains in the PNW, for us, is a lack of snow. So exciting when we get some!

Seriously, why do we need more of this racist shite when we could have Birchbark House! The film industry will never make sense to me.

Tired of folks saying all Trump reads are
#picturebooks
or that info should be presented to him in picture book form. I don’t think he reads any books at all. Picture books may look simple but deceptively so. If he did read them, he might learn a thing or two about empathy & kindness
