April's just a few days away! Warm weather, get with it. I'm ready for open windows and fresh breezes.

As always, click here for the FAQ, and please feel free to ask me if you have any questions. ❤️ Enjoy!

“TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.”

— Howard Zinn (via freckles-and-books)

Resisting tyranny takes a lot of forms.

[ID: A Substack post by Dana Portwood:

I work at the public library which means I see the books leaving and coming back in, and I can tell you this, my community is scared of what's happening and what is likely to happen, and they intend to go down fighting. They are learning skills and reading about politics like I've never seen. And the books parents are choosing for their kids: allyship, inclusive, multi-culturalism. It's beautiful.

I'm making new cards for people by the literal dozen.

This is why fascists hate libraries. It's where people go to gird their fucking loins. We love to see it. End ID]
