I’m begging Black Texans to visit your local library or bookmobile. Check out (Black) books, use Libby/Hoopla, participate in programs, and/or join friends of the library!! Libraries are for us too and we have to make that known. When books are not checked out they get “weeded out” aka thrown away which will reduce the overall collection and it leads to librarians not investing in adding to specific collections in the future. They stop buying Black books when folks don’t check them out!!

i hope that in 2025 u get to take more walks, read more books, connect with more people whom u love and who love u, achieve ur goals (even if ur goals are having no goals and just living in the moment), exercise fun hobbies, move from a place of self-direction, and weave together a beguiling assortment of beautiful little moments. remember that no feeling lasts forever. love u

you have more degrees of freedom than you think

you can completely reinvent yourself in well under a year with sufficient commitment

you probably make at least one decision every day which will meaningfully alter the path you’re on if you change it

this is terrifying but it’s also maybe the best thing about being alive

as long as you’re breathing, there’s a chance
