the secret to organising any kind of trip with your friends is to become the benevolent dictator. do NOT wait for everyone to provide a consensus on things before you book anything. do it and then ask for feedback after. do not ask people what they would like to do just tell them what is happening and let them all nod along like the sheep they are. this is the ONLY way to coordinate a group of adults in their 20s/30s

One county over from me had its 2nd annual pride last weekend. It was so fun and inclusive and actually community-oriented. But it had to be walled off w covered fences the entire way aside from 3 entrances/exits

The organizers hired a huge security team to patrol and check bags

There were angry people all the way to the entrance and all over every entrance to the park and parking lot

It wasn’t this bad last year, they were so loud and angry I was worried cops were going to be called (thankfully it wasn’t needed but I did witness a couple ppl get escorted out)

I live in a VERY conservative state and this is one of the more loudly MAGA counties, I was gripping my keys and pocketknife HARD the entire way back to my car and watching the backs of everyone else walking out

I’ve never seen an angrier group of ppl protesting in my area before. There were counter protestors blocking the more aggressive ones and security did a very good job keeping all of us safe inside

I was so glad to be part of such a huge and vibrant community in a place w such a big anti-trans and lgbtq+ presence but holy SHIT it was a lot of emotion of celebrating that we’re all somehow alive and queer in a place like this

Hey hey, as a librarian, can I just say don’t pace yourself at the library. I get a lot of customers saying “oh I shouldn’t get too many books out at once” but like you should!!!! Max out your card, take everything we have on a subject you’re interested in, make a book fort in your home. We love that shit! It doesn’t matter if you read them or not; just take them for an adventure and bring them back whenever they’re due!

For public libraries, one of the ways we secure funding year to year is lending. Governments don’t want to fund more books if they’re not being used and the way we measure use is by issues. Regardless of whether you read it or not, whether you have it for a day or a month, if you issue it to your library card, we get the stats! It makes the library look good!

Help your local library; get books out even if you know you can’t read them all!

You

You

How to get you back here

How to get you back here permanently

You

You

You

Cheese

You

My dog

You

My elbow itches

You
