Pointing out that @everylibrary has joined the fedi.

If you care about US public and school libraries -- if you want to see library censorship stop -- give 'em a follow, and some spare bucks if you have 'em.

They do good work.

This One Wild and Precious Life
A Hopeful Path Forward in a Fractured World

We live in truly overwhelming times. The climate crisis, political polarisation, racial injustice and coronavirus have left many of us in a state of PTSD. We have retreated, morally and psychologically; we are experiencing a crisis of disconnection - from one another, from our true values, from joy, and from life as we feel we are meant to be living it.

THE OPPRESSION OF THE UYGHUR PEOPLE explored in heartbreaking detail through an exiled poet and filmmaker’s memoir. Beautiful writing about a horrifying topic brings stories of the imprisoned and murdered into the light. A MINUS

I as The Witness by Nora Roberts. Despite the hundreds of she’s written, I’m a 48yo Roberts virgin; she’s always been the of my mother & MIL’s generation. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love good plots that don’t rely on dramatic breakups & makeups. While very white & not written specifically with this diagnosis of the FMC, she very much seemed to me as high-functioning autistic. @romancebooks @romancelandia

@bookstadon I'm currently #reading "Mod: A very British style". I anticipate finishing it it today. I've had some interesting music recommendations from the book (Two Tones and The Specials) that I've followed up, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the explanation of the political philosophy of dandyism.
