Not quite The Summer I Turned Pretty and not quite To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before but a secret third thing (Burn for Burn).

Thinking about the two young Palestinian journalists killed today by Israel and the filmmaker attacked by settlers/ detained by the military and all the other Palestinians murdered and how fucked it is that so many countries stand for continuing a genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Regular reminder that society is choosing to be constantly ill due to normalcy bias, capitalism & political lethargy. We know how to prevent all these viruses

(…) so much of our life
feels like sitting at a table set for dozens
who will never again arrive the two of us surrounded
by empty chairs (…)

In these dark, & scary tumultuous times, friends, I need to urge you to remember that your local Public Library is there for you with free books to read in all formats, films, magazines, cozy chairs, & a sympathetic Library Staff with whom you can commiserate with in the end days

If I hear you talking shit about libraries.

They can't even go to the hospital to get tested and treated. I'm so scared for when it becomes human to human. This is so unfair. They deserve better.

Knock knock. Any #librarians still here? I’m looking for advice on button makers! What should I look for? Any favourite models? #TLchat #SchoolLibrary #makerspace

Watch the moment the UK’s King Charles was heckled by Aboriginal independent senator Lidia Thorpe as he finished a speech in Australia, where he is head of state.

They’ve been burning men, women and children alive for a year. Last night wasn’t an anomaly, it was just captured so explicitly on camera.

The Israelis & Americans have been incinerating, shredding, crushing and gunning down entire families for over a year.

The view of the sky from my backyard is everything I need.

My graphic novel labels are red. What color should the manga section labels be?

[Gabriela @librarycapybara]

What’s the best label color to color code the manga section in the library?
