ANNOY A NAZI

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

You don’t have to settle for someone who merely tolerates you. You deserve someone who delights in your quirks and rejoices in your weirdness. You deserve someone who sees and celebrates what makes you uniquely you.

Queue is such a great word. The actual important letter, and then four more silently waiting behind it in a line.

If loan forgiveness bothers you, think of it as a retroactive scholarship.

There’s a concerted movement in this country to pull books from shelves, to ban them from being taught, and to shut down libraries, and that alone should tell you how important books are. Read a book to annoy a fascist.

This really hit home

If you are okay with having Muslim, Jewish and Hindu students sit through a Christian prayer in public school, and not okay with having Christian students sit through a Muslim, Jewish or Hindu prayer, then it’s NOT religious freedom- it’s religious oppression.

The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept cheering and voting for the axe. Because its handle was made of wood, and they thought it was one of them.

today we mourn for george floyd, murdered two years ago by the police, and for 19 children, murdered yesterday while police waited, too scared to protect them.
the solution is not & cannot be more police.

If your boyfriend or husband supports banning abortion, leave him.

Seriously. Leave him today. You have no idea what he’s willing to do to you behind closed doors and against your will if he’s willing to admit that publicly.

Leave him. Protect yourself.

I'm tired of cars, I want trains, monorails, cat buses with gleaming eyes, mysterious trolleys that emerge from the deep woods, beribboned witches who deliver your food on brooms

I get it. The deconstruction movement leads many away from Christianity.

But if someone deconstructs until there’s nothing left, ever think maybe the American evangelical version of Christianity was empty to begin with?

You can’t lose a faith that was never actually there.

It is not a good use of our time to fight about kids playing sports. We can’t breathe our air and our lakes are drying up. We should leave trans kids alone for a lot of reasons. But the rare instance where a trans kid wants to kick a soccer ball should not be our focus right now.

The way you can be tricked into selling this life for the next.

Making concessions to folks actively shredding democracy isn’t compromise.

The word is complicity.
