Bluesky friends. I'm pinning this story here to share how this girl & her dad started a neighborhood library business as a direct result of Trump's agenda. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read our story. 💙

man and woman standing on either side of a little library that is Dr. Suess style. It is bright colors and curvy shapes with Dr. Seuss sayings and characters on it. They are standing under a tent.

A little library ( box with plexiglass front) set on a post by the road in front of a house. The side has a design that says Hello Spring and it is in bright yellow with flower design.

Man and woman standing next to a little library from a side view. Woman in forefront. The side of the little library has an image of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s face with a quote. They are outside on the side of the street in what looks like a downtown area.

Same man and woman next to a Dr. Seuss designed library in a pot outside of someone's house. The library is brightly colored in green, yellow, purple and red. The post is curvy.

Canada, Germany, England, Denmark, Netherlands, and France all have travel advisory warnings for visiting America.

Let that sink in.

Book concept: People start finding books in a Little Free Library that were never written or published in this world. Some are exactly what the "borrower" needs. Some are a delight. But some are dangerous. And the Little Free Library just might have a sinister agenda...

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Came here to say just this. And relatively coherent. And complete sentences.

I agree. Felt too performative. She's got it naturally.

PLEASE READ: This teacher in my district is being targeted--FIRST CASE in Fl but this will become national. If you read my pinned story I shared how our district is one of the reddest & most toxic. This is how. The students are fighting for her. Bluesky--please share.

Yes Brevard! Even our super red county…the one that birthed Moms for Liberty cofounder, housed the horrible Randy Fine, and home to countless J6 criminals, showed up!

Every corner at FL 520 & US1 is packed with regular Americans saying Hell No! HandsOff our democracy. Hands off our rights. Hands off our Medicaid. Hands of every damn thing Musk & Trump and the gutless GOP is trying to take frrom us! And this in deep red Brevard. #HandsOff

Other side of the moat, French public broadcaster has been doing alright. I haven't dug into what they're putting out in writing, but they usually move beyond stenography.

She does! In that final thread that’s her painting just last week.❤️😁

Lit Inspired @litinspired.bsky.social · Apr 2

So grandma Ruth, just months after her stroke at 96, painted these so we could test how they do on our libraries. Since then, we've had several painting parties. Inspired by her work, we're planning an artist series where money raised goes to nonprofit of the artist's choice. Stay tuned.💙#art #books

Grandma had a massive stroke in Aug. We didn't think she'd make it but she's a survivor. It was at her house, as she recovered, where we came up w/the idea of making libraries (she's an avid reader) w/ interchangeable panels so we could have new design and so people could paint their own art.

Growing up with an artist grandma, I took it for granted. It wasn't until I was in my 40's-- yea, 40's--that I realized her true talent. I understood when I attended my first Painting with a Twist & tried to do my own landscape art😂. Here is just some of grandma Ruth's art (she's 96).
