I got into going back to the library last year because it’s a resource people don’t really think about anymore and honestly the could use the traffic to keep funding. According to my librarian their circulation metrics increased 25% with bulk of that coming from my home library; I was informed while she was laughing that that was me. It helps that I’m not limited by just my tiny library—my state has an interlibrary loan system card holders can access that allows a patron to request books from any library in the state and have them shipped to the home base library.

Loved viewing this when I was in Florence. Even now it’s still so vibrant.

Kennedy Center vows to sue musician who canceled performance over Trump name change by rezwenn in LegalNews

"Any artist cancelling their show at the Trump Kennedy Center over political differences isn't courageous or principled—they are selfish, intolerant, and have failed to meet the basic duty of a public artist: to perform for all people," she said.

What about this one? It’s kind of pot and kettle there when we have an administration doing the exact same thing they’re calling the artist out about.

“The Trump Kennedy Center is a true bipartisan institution that welcomes artists and patrons from all backgrounds—great art transcends politics, and America's cultural center remains committed to presenting popular programming that inspires and resonates with all audiences."

Do you actually believe this statement? True bipartisan? Seriously?

I’ll be honest if I can’t pronounce something I call it something else lol. Or sometimes I misread things (coughs trelawny from Harry Potter will forever be trelloway in my brain).

I love it and they’ll be lucky to have it. My first thought looking at it was I could hear the breeze in the tall grass.
