Just returned from the read-out protest against #NorthDakota #SB2307. This was my little corner of the protest. About 100 people overall circled the Fargo Public Library downtown, braving 20 degree cold and icy sidewalks to quietly make their collective voice heard.

If you want an example of something small you could do.
I renewed my library card today.
The place is accessible.
It was easy and I finished in less than 5 minutes.
They didn't misgender or deadname me. I'm able to set a preferred name as the name in the computer system and on the card.
There's a lot of wonderful local programs and activities too here c:
It's a safe space to be online, check out media, learn, and meet community.
I support MEGA.
Make #education great again.
Learned #knowledge is power.
Education is a huge key to unlocking many doors towards progressive mindsets. It is essential for enacting aligned progressive changes in society.
The poorer & more disadvantaged you are, the more important it is to be able to freely & openly access the golden fields of #educational #opportunities. #PublicLibraries are 100% #essential to poor folks without funds to access formal educational paths. Always help to defend & help protect our public #libraries!
The 1971 novel MRS. FRISBY AND THE RATS OF NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien is a #SocialJustice #SocialRevolution #ClimateCrisis #socialist story.
I first read that book 37 years ago, and I just now realized this.

My city's libraries have an app for your phone. You can do anything with it!! I have even renewed my books! Why did no one tell me about this????
God bless this woman. Anyone harassing or trying to intimidate our librarians or any other public servants is a terrorist and the scum of the earth #supportlibraries

My darling friend
from across the sea
just passed this photo
over to me.
This is a book
created by me
which was just turned in
at the library.
My friends, my loves,
I've such enormous glee
'cause even in England,
is my little donkey.
Thank you to my friend for donating my #books to your local #library & sharing this with me. I am so thankful
(My books made it to #England! )
If you're so inclined, you can donate to the South Central Regional Library here.
Ugh, of course the US-style "let's defund liberries" bullshit has made its way here.

@yo_bj holy sh*t
it won't be the woo-scary technology search engines, police state, or Illuminati that does us in, but our own dogged-ignorant provinciality.
