Happy Book Birthday to Gabriela Orozco Belt for her book I am, Yo Soy. From the author of only for a little while, comes a lyrical, dual language picture book about the beauty of being part of two cultures and shows that embracing both heritages are the key to being exactly who you’re meant to be

When you see these displays in your public library, write a note to the branch manager and director thanking them for supporting queer rights. Speak up at board meetings. I guarantee that library is already getting complaints. Admin/the board will cave to whoever is loudest, even bigots.
While the current administration attempts to eradicate us, remember that the library will continue to be a safe space for Trans and GNC folks. We're not going anywhere 📚

Hi friends from Canada / Mexico: I’m so sorry our President is being a shit. I know what you have to do is going to suck for our country, but your actions are economic self-defense, and you have to stand up to bullies.

Very much
I probably don't have to actually say this, but to my Canadian and Mexican friends and followers: this is extremely stupid and I hate it.
