I specifically came to Blue sky today to say this exact thing. For folks who insist on dead naming people, they were sure quick to "transition" from Gulf of Mexico.
The folks who refuse to learn the names of trans and nonbinary folks sure are big fucking mad when you deadname the Gulf of Mexico.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.
Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.
Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

The littlest things can make a day better. The folks at my favorite #DunkinDonuts put this note on my cup today and EVERY time I reached for it, I smiled. (Forgot to snap the pic when it was full of iced coffee. Yes, iced coffee year round!)

One thing before tomorrow:
Use your local libraries.
Get your card.
Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.
Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).
Attend promoted activities.
Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.
Tell your kids that libraries are good.
They are.

I deactivated my Tiktok account. If they are thanking the asshole who originally wanted to ban the app for now "saving" it, I don't want to be around to see how else they can be influenced.

You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library.
You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library.
You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library.
You want sourced info? Library.
