Please, PLEASE take a look (and like! and share!) at this AMAZING cover @pepirina / @antiquelibraryghost made for my beloved story For His Eyes Only ❤️ I just can’t stop looking at it, admiring all the brilliant details, so of course I had to share this gorgeous work with you all!

(Thank you again for this beautiful, beautiful gift, @pepirina 🥹❤️)

Anti-intellectual attitudes are on the rise on social media, the billionaires who run these apps are banking on people being uneducated or uninterested in education slipping from their fingers. So now is a good time to invest time into following accounts that teach you things, engaging with their content, and most importantly LEARNING.

Communal learning is inherently anti-fascist. Give them hell.
