Libraries are free knowledge, free organizing space, and free access to history—which is exactly why fascists fear them. The best way to protect them? Use them. What’s the most radical book you’ve ever borrowed?

I got some unwelcome attention from an alt right Idaho rag because, during public comment at the beginning of a library board of trustees meeting, I called out the direct connection between the diffuse local & national efforts to ban books, and patriarchal christian white nationalism.
So that was fun. Will be fun. (Reader, it has not been fun.)

WELP. Guess that cat's outta the bag. Fuuuuuuuu... dge.
But also, here's a whole bunch of badass women, once again organizing and leading.
Quoting Emily Christopherson: || I think our favorite local white supremacist, Dave Reilly, got the headline wrong. 😡 It should read:
“Local homeschool mom who strictly limits her children’s media consumption and does not read her children porn, is concerned the library district will be destroyed by local extremists, just like they are doing to NIC, and just wants to have access to free materials and educational opportunities for her family. Staff and board members, please work on solutions that will give parents more tools to wisely select books for their families”
🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️SAVE OUR LIBRARIES. VOTE MAY 16. ||
Also, *actual* local press was also there, turns out.

Oh hey look! (Yes, I did take that photo. <3 )
Pull quote: The Community Library Network Alliance, independent of the library network, was officially formed in November 2022 by Emily Christopherson of Post Falls and Angela Drewien of Hayden. It is a grassroots movement effected by those who are passionate and concerned about local library goings-on and who believe a thriving public library system is necessary for a community to be vibrant and well-informed. Part of the group's mission is to ensure the integrity and success of the local libraries through qualified, library-minded and trustworthy library trustees.

Nephew and littlest niece are happily playing with toys on the floor whilst my mom goes to pick up older niece from school, and I'm happily keeping one eye on them, and one eye on the #NWSL Draft, and one eye wandering over contents here & a pdf on defending #PublicLibraries from white nationalist & anti-#queer attacks.
Consider this my #ThreeGoodThings I guess?
