Destroy the myth that libraries are no longer relevant. If you use your library, please reblog.

[isuggestusingyourlocallibrary]

I suggest using your local library!

[dzgrizzle]

The public library is a good source for borrowing ebooks and audiobooks as well as regular books. My local library has study spaces, meeting rooms, and even a seed library for gardens.

some books read in 2025: hamnet, by maggie o'farrell

'I find,' he says, his voice still muffled, 'that I am constantly wondering where he is. Where he has gone. It is like a wheel ceaselessly turning at the back of my mind. Whatever I am doing, wherever I am, I am thinking: Where is he, where is he? He can't have just vanished. He must be somewhere. All I have to do is find him. I look for him everywhere, in every street, in every crowd, in every audience. That's what I am doing, when I look out at them all: I try to find him, or a version of him.

Books I Loved In 2025: Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

"But she will not have it. She will not. She will fill this child, these children, with life. She will place herself between them and the door leading out, and she will stand there, teeth bared, blocking the way."

[autumn, and the days] by Gregory Orr

[dahlia-molinas]

when you think about it teenagers of the next generation will never get to experience a cw show with 7+ seasons and 22 episodes per season. they will never know what it's like to be insanely obsessed with a mediocre show with mediocre writing and mediocre acting (with one really good actor carrying the show on their backs). they will never know the feeling of fighting weekly in the trenches for your ship only for the writers to screw you over. they will never be so increasingly disappointed by the worsening writing choices as the seasons progress and they will never know what it's like to watch the worst series finale after investing years into a show. and that is the biggest tragedy.

Want to do something to help stop the tradwife pipeline btw? Include mothers in your feminism. Hold space for women and others who are experiencing pregnancy or motherhood. Listen to their concerns about and unique perspectives on things like universal childcare, bodily autonomy, healthcare. Hold men who disrespect, sexualize, fetishize, shame or harass pregnant women and mothers accountable. Advocate for the right to nurse in public. Advocate for bodily autonomy within the healthcare field. Listen to women and birthing parents who have birth trauma. Listen to women who have undergone things like “the husband stitch”, or medically unnecessary c-sections, or who were given drugs without consent by doctors and nurses violating their birth plan. Advocate for resources to promote an end to the high rates of maternal mortality in the US. Get to know a woman who has children. Get to know the person she is. Know about her likes and interests and hobbies. Unlearn the stigma in your head which makes you see pregnant women as “ruined” or “tainted” and mothers as devoid of individual personhood.

As a leftist I will always advocate for the needs of mothers and their children. I refuse to let the right attempt to manipulate people by using the “we’re the only ones who care about mothers and children” talking point. I refuse to let my fellow leftists and progressives continue to enjoy complacency in their exclusion of these two marginalized groups.

[lemeute]

this also means welcoming children at your events and/or offering free childcare. childcare is expensive and many mothers (much moreso than many fathers) can't participate in our movements unless we participate in looking after their kids.

And for the love of all that is holy, STOP IT with the antinatalism! Too often I hear arguments along the lines of, "humanity needs to die out anyway." No, the human race is a beautiful thing, and those who freely choose to perpetuate it should be celebrated, not demonized. Our population is not spiraling out of control, that's a eugenicist myth.

When mothers see that the only people supporting their choice to have kids are right-wing pronatalists (who suck, don't get me wrong), what ideology do you think they're going to align with?
