A bunny looks over some bookshelves, in a small, hexagonal reading room. The books are shelved haphazardly, and the room is around the size of a closet

Daily bunny no.3207 is doing some shelf-reading

Fiction is important because it’s just not safe to rawdog reality anymore

Here are some nice mushrooms

sorry im late i was vexed by riddles of the unquiet mind

This is the content I needed to see during this news cycle 🦑 I love my giant squid/ocean sciences updates!

love them #kpopdemonhunters

Happy as a clam? A clam? You mean those tiny things with no brain that just chill on the bottom of the ocean all day in their own little private shells and have absolutely no concept of what’s going on in the nevermind I get it now

Bunnies have built a small village atop a sleeping dragon, which has been there so long that plants have grown over it, providing camouflage. One bunny sitting close to the dragon's ear, absentmindedly tells stories, not realiing that the dragon has just opened it's eye and is looking at the bunny.

Daily bunny no.3000 has many a tale to tell

We need a return to analog culture: handwritten letters, seeing films in the cinema, reading books, in-person visits, time in the outdoors. We weren't meant to spend our whole lives online. The joys of tangible living are something no one can take from you.

u are my soulmate

I take my coffee like I take my books: shamelessly purchased for enough happy brain tingles to drag me through another day even though I already have plenty at home

there are powers that will do everything they can to convince you otherwise, but it should be said loudly that protest proves love. community is a conduit for love and oppression seeks to crush community. standing up to say no is an act of love

My sister once did this but for Grey's Anatomy and hospitals, and my nurse-cousin nearly lost her mind at her 😂

So many people out there need a hug and a forehead kiss and an old abandoned lighthouse where they can slowly give what’s left of their sanity over to the sea gods

not to be sentimental but I think it’s beautiful that libraries exist and are free and that we can use them. I love that there are so many bookish folk who are always reading and learning. I’m so glad to live in a world where there are books.

And in an unexpected twist, it turns out the most punk rock things of all are supporting public broadcasting and patronizing your local library and not cheating on your homework with AI

Bookish friends are great because you can be all "read this, it will absolutely crush your soul and tear your beating heart into a million little pieces and you will literally never recover from it" and they'll be like omg yaaaasssss

I don't know if anyone else has this problem but every time I open social media on my phone in the last week, a thousand shrieking banshee wails echo from the speakers & warn me to turn back or risk seeing man-made horrors beyond my comprehension

“I asked ChatGPT-“ okay well I asked the big oak tree at the center of the woods and she said you’re a lazy dork

A very tired opossum

The perpetually exhausted opossum who runs my serotonin brain wheel

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

Sure, I go to the library for books, but also sometimes I go just to exist in a space that's welcoming, organized, comfortable, judgement-free, and run by knowledgeable, helpful, passionate people, because that energy is straight up medicinal.

Meg says “in case my beliefs weren’t clear” suddenly she’s surrounded by ‘beliefs’, wearing sunglasses. The text reads: -black lives matter -stop Asian hate -trans rights are human rights -women can wear hijabs if they want -birth control and abortions should be available everywhere -fat people deserve love & respect -we are in stolen land -refugees deserve support and safety -stand with Ukraine -disability right date human rights -support the people of Sudan, Congo & Palestine”

A comic about my beliefs.

[“The first people a dictator puts in jail are the writers, the teachers, the librarians—because these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.”]
