👠 I haven’t yet changed my LinkedIn profile picture to the one of me in drag. I’ve been too scared. Hearing that Missouri now has a page where people can report trans individuals and the people who help them to the state, I think it’s time to make a statement. Here’s hoping I don’t lose my new job.

They’re gonna getcha every time… That irony was certainly lost on one politician! In 1978, a bill was introduced in the Maryland state legislature to make it illegal to play “Short People” on the radio. Delegate Isaiah Dixon wanted radio stations and employees to be criminally charged and fined for playing the song, but the bill was not passed.

Once the Nazis took power they banned books, outlawed drag shows and homosexuality, changed school curricula to remove mention of their atrocities in WWI, and rewrote election laws so they’d never again lose an election. 🧐 What’s Behind the GOP’s War Against Democracy?

Legislation of Concern - EveryLibrary Politicians in state legislatures across the country have filed bills that are detrimental to our school libraries and public libraries. Some of this legislation calls for the arrest and incarceration of librarians. 🗣️ Ironically we won’t go quietly.

🍎 Let’s follow each other on Apple Music. Like seriously, I’d love to follow more people on there. Add me!

📚 Felt a little bit of nostalgia reading this old blog post about where I used to work: The State Library: A Theme Park of History from Ohio and Beyond

⛔ I’m glad there’s no emoji for gun.

📚 If at first you don’t succeed, defund the public library These religious extremist right wing whackadoos claim libraries “groom” children. I thought churches did that. The only thing libraries groom children to be is better citizens who won’t shut down public libraries.

💊 Every Sunday I dole out my meds for the week and ugh. Staying alive is expensive.

The truth about Budweiser But, while the company may be perceived as an LGBTQ ally, its corporate PAC activities suggest otherwise. Over the last few years, the brewing giant has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars supporting the campaigns of anti-LGBTQ politicians at the federal and state level. I knew their “support” was all for show. Corporations are the worst. Especially during Pride month.

Once this song gets in my head I must listen to it and I must listen to it like 50 times on repeat. It’s. So. Good. Look At Miss Ohio by Valerie June

SERIAL MOM (1994)

She’s the perfect all-American parent: a great cook and homemaker, a devoted recycler, and a woman who’ll literally kill to keep her family happy.

I will never fathom this country’s obsession with guns.

I just love these Bleeding Hearts that Michael put into a bouquet. 🌸
