can't focus on politics because i'm on the Degrassi episodes where Holly J gets strep throat, pees herself in front of her boss, suddenly needs a new kidney, learns that she's actually adopted, finds her birth mother, and then her birth mother demands $20k in exchange for a kidney. storytelling!!

obviously hate the "do you have the spoons to receive this sext" or whatever therapy texts but would still appreciate a "do you have the time and emotional capacity to watch this silly eight-second video" heads up

Very stoked for another radical bookstore in NYC, and especially one in Queens! Shop through No Borders if you're buying on Bookshop!

from now until June 18th, proceeds from our Defend Your Local Library campaign will go to Queens Public Library which, along with BPL & NYPL, is facing budget cuts that would end Saturday service, indefinitely delay reopenings of certain branches, and more. www.bonfire.com/defend-your-...

my local branch has been closed for two years (!!) and budget cuts will delay its reopening even if construction is finished. same for many renovated branches esp. in communities that need libraries the most. defend your local library, bully your local mayor: queenslibrary.org/support/take...
