[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

These people are giving the game away. They want to create a world in which no one has the desire to read, create or think, and eventually no one has the capacity to. Reading, critical thinking, the humanities, are never wastes of time; they are what make us free.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

The secret to getting kids reading is the same thing that worked in the nineties. Reading Rainbow. Free pizzas. Shakespeare rom-coms. A million Jane Austen adaptations. Movies where a guy gifts his beloved an enormous library. Dog who acts out the classics.

“When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.”

- Toni Morrison, born on this day in 1931

I know y’all love the yeehaw agenda but there are Black horse folk like myself fighting every day to keep and/or purchase land.

I can’t even give recommendations to Black owned horse farms bc folks losing land so fast and everything is expensive…

It is actually difficult.

being carsick is so funny. you’ll be in prime physical health & then you’ll make the mistake of glancing at your phone in the backseat of an Uber going barely 25 mph

[Dr. Monica Cox @DrMonicaCox]

Sometimes people try to destroy you, precisely because they recognize your power - not because they don’t see it, but because they see it and they don’t want it to exist.
