I want you to know BLACK LIVES MATTER.
That just because I’m a different poc doesn’t mean your problem isn’t my problem. Injustice happening to my African American community, Asian, Muslim, Palestinians. Any injustice to you is an injustice for pocs. And people really hate that my account isn’t about just one social injustice.
I support our trans community, I support the lgbtq+, I support poc businesses. And fight against injustice. Fight against sexism, fight against discrimination, fight against racism, and a fight against child abuse.
I come from a very hateful home, I experienced most of everything that I fight against. And if I didn’t experience it myself I witness it first hand happening to another.
The people who want us angry, bitter and revengeful are the same people who will have us against each other and ask the question “what has _____ community done for you??” Or “Your community is so racist how could I you even say you support us”
I’ll never let someone’s stupid opinion of me change what I think is important. This account is all about support of diverse communities and I may not know everything so when I slip up my only request is that you educate me and teach me how to help.
Knowledge can bring us together, but we can’t let the ones who are against us, bring us to fight one another. When you see another community in need that’s different from yours learn about it, reach out and help.
Every community has its flaws. Black eyed peas,
Where is the love
“But if you only have love for your own race. Then you only leave space to discriminate. And to discriminate only generates hate. And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah. Madness is what you demonstrate. And that's exactly how anger works and operates. Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight. Take control of your mind and meditate Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all”.
the feeling when a book fucks you up so hard you have to put it down and take a break because your emotional threshold has reached it's limit
The largest library in the world is the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. in the United States. It has more than 170 million items. It's also one of the most beautiful!

Reading opens our minds to the world around us, taking us to places even though we're only within four walls.
One real benefit of reading I rarely hear anybody mention is how much more interesting life becomes when you read a lot. It depends what you’re reading, of course, but most (good) books will teach you something you didn’t already know, and even if you have to give the book back to the library, you get to take that much with you. A lot of people talk about things they wish they’d studied in school–I’ve done it, too–but it’s a nice consolation prize that you can always pick up a book and learn something new. And as that library in your brain collects more volumes, everything around you gains new resonances, new context, and new connections which make your lived experience richer. In quarantine alone I’ve read about religion and politics and history and evolution and computer science and astrophysics without even leaving my house and it’s already a more interesting world.

It happens way too often.
I've been seeing a lot of memes about readers hoarding books and buying some more even through they don't read them, while there are others complaining how they have a huge pile of books to be read. I'm just going to say:
A writer from Medium, Michael Simmons, wrote this golden post about the habit. This is for all of you readers out there: boy, you are some smarty-pants.
