As long as we're doing Lilo and Stitch discourse, remember this:

Hawaii is stolen land.

1819: christian missionaries arrive in Hawaii. they ban alcohol, gambling, and dancing the hula. white businessmen arrive on the island and begin buying land.

1887: the king is forced at gunpoint to sign a new constitution. absolute monarchy is abolished. Hawaii becomes a constitutional monarchy where the right to vote is mostly exclusive to white men.

1893: coup d'etat. the queen is forced to abdicate. Hawaii becomes a republic. the first governor is a white man, the brother of the owner of Dole fruit company.

1898: with the support of the white government, president William McKinley annexes Hawaii as a US territory. As president, McKinley also annexed Puerto Rico, Guam, the Philippines, and American Samoa.

1901: McKinley is shot to death by anarchist Leon Czolgosz :) :) :)

1954: general strikes and protests against the white plantation owners. HUAC arrests the resistance leaders under the Smith Act for being communists. Nevertheless, the plantation owners are defeated. Voting rights are extended to native Hawaiians.

1959: Hawaii becomes a US state (upgraded from territory) with 93% of the popular vote.

2015: 95% of Hawaii's land is still owned by just 82 landholders :(

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!

I think a lot of you are kinda lame for doomerism and already declaring democracy is dead forever. Like yeah Trump is weakening it but come on have you seen other people in countries with so much less democracy and so much less privilege fighting for more. And you are giving up already, lame.
