Also, if anyone tries telling you “audiobooks aren’t reading!” please tell them that an English professor said it was okay for you to tell them to shut up.
If you're struggling to get back into reading, try audiobooks. There's something weirdly immersive and soothing in hearing a human voice reading a long book. It's like slipping into a warm bath.

"If politicians can paint academics as master indoctrinators around Black history and political rhetoric, then they can do the same thing with issues such as climate change, evolution, and public health topics..." 💯 @hholdenthorp science.org/content/blog-pos…

Yesterday we logged almost 200 challenges- about 150 of those resulted in immediate removals. This is a picture of all the books removed from one HS library, in one day, in one District, due to the objections of one man. This is not freedom. #FreeTheBooks

The anticipated imminent loss of the Amazon rainforest feels just like a nightmare to me, and I grieve for it. It will be the first cosmic-scale loss from fossil-fueled global heating. It all turned out to be so much more fragile than we thought.

House Dems will continue to put people over politics. Republicans are putting politics over the people. And so America lacks a fully formed Congress for the first time in 100 years.
