I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:

“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

Sarah McBride: "It is an attempt to distract ... Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand. Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare."

Feed the hungry, nurse the sick, shelter the homeless & welcome the stranger (foreigners). If Jesus showed up today, the Republicans would deem him a socialist.

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

This!
Now is not the time for acceptance and resignation. This is - yet again - a time for commitment and action.

Do not say you’re weary - before the battle has been joined. Simply unacceptable.

Reality is settling in. We know the next four years will be our lifetime's worst roller coaster ride. We watch the news with horror and shake our heads, trying to fully grasp how we landed here. Whether you feel anger, despair, or nothing, find a reason to smile at something each day.

To be clear, you don’t need to love those who would just as soon see you dead. But I do think we need to love those who are aligned even more fiercely now.
