It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

Trying to psyche myself up to get my blood drawn when I hate, hate, HATE getting blood drawn. It’s a super frequent necessity for ulcerative colitis 😭

Time for the annual reminder that a β€œbeach read” is any book you feel like reading on the beach. Could be chick lit, could be the Penguin Guide to the Viking Age. #youdoyou #readanything

It could also serve to discourage snakes.

Do you still follow someone because you’re angry at them and want to track the things they do?

I invite you to start your summer by unfollowing them so you don’t devote energy to something that makes you sad

I am a good old-fashioned pillow screamer. Have also take glass to a giant industrial recycling bin and thrown it as hard as I could.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Can it be ok to live in a world with little free libraries AND real libraries? Please leave LFLs alone. This is horizontal violence. Send the hate where it belongs (the White House).

In a press conference, WH stated that Carla Hayden was fired b/c she was putting "inappropriate books in the children's section."

The children's section.

At the Library of Congress.

I was panicked that my 7-year-old might freak out during the face melting scene in Indiana Jones but she said "I guess he shouldn't have opened that" as seriously as possible and I've been crying laughing for 10 minutes

In case you needed another reason to hate Trump, he fired Dr Carla Hayden, librarian of congress.

The Declaration of Independence's warning for Trump "The king violated their rights time and time again, and he basically 'un-kinged' himself."

"All of these things that sound like cliches are actually really important. If you’re walking down the street and someone grabs you and says 'You’re illegal' and wants to send you to El Salvador, you have the right to a fair trial. That’s the essence of democracy."
