Perhaps I've read too many spy novels but that seems threatening

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

Buy local, as much as you can.
Protect minority communities.
Call your representatives.
And never, ever stop making art.

Over the last 8+ years, I’ve thought/talked/wrote/taught about magical resistance work a whole lot. And the thing I keep coming back to is this: the work we do at the local level that aids, builds, and protects community is the most essential and effective.

I'm actually fucking grieving. It was such an amazing community for art and expression, learning... And the note to look with hope towards the incoming administration was just cold

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

In which case, no one will continue to use the descriptions because they suck. Self extinguishing

So I'm annotating Doris Humphrey's "The art of Making Dances" and I don't think I've ever agreed with an author less. The notes in the margins are getting more sarcastic by the page. At this rate by the end of the book either it goes into the fire or I do

Do me a kindness! Share this if you love and support your local library & librarians (and remember: that includes your school library & school librarian) πŸ˜ŠπŸ“š

Thank you libraries & library workers… for everything βœ¨πŸ’š

If you'd like to support your fave authors in 2025 but you're skint, you could:

- make a social media post about the book, just as basic as "i enjoyed this" and a picture (don't forget alt-text)

- rec it in a relevant reddit thread or Goodreads forum or Facebook group

Word of mouth has an impact!

Where are you making magic today? Seriously, this is such a soothing thought. So much nicer than "oh sh*t I gotta practice"

This winter so far seems like one of the most winter-y of winters, and it hasn't even started yet.
