😬So I definitely have had this photo for like over a month and was too lazy to post it...so here it is!

🌸Happy Tuesday, friends. This week and the next few will be a bit stressful as we very very very slowly reopen the library. We’re going to be starting pick-up appointments for books soon. I hope you’re all continuing to stay safe, especially if you are also returning to work.

🌷Happy Monday, friends. Let’s not pretend that last week was not a giant emotional rollercoaster, but let’s also admit that it was needed and it is still very much needed. The journey to social justice, dismantling systemic racism, and unlearning immoral human behaviors is never ending. So while I may be posting my “regular content,” I will continue to share important resources to support BLM and further my own education on how to be better ally and human being. Call out racism and teach one another. But also be compassionate and empathetic both to yourself and to our black brothers and sisters who are so tired and deserve so much love and support. Continue to amplify melanated voices, support black creators, and share black stories. I can’t wait til my @lavishandlitcandleco candles (black owned business) come in! I’ll definitely be doing an unboxing when they do 🥰.

💜It’s my 27th birthday today! But did you know yesterday should’ve been Breonna Taylor’s 27th birthday? If you were to ask me what I want for my birthday, I’d tell you that I want justice for Breonna and every black life that was cruelly and inhumanely ended. None of you owe me anything, but we owe black lives EVERYTHING. In honor of BREONNA’s birthday and all black lives, please consider donating to BLM causes, signing petitions, and amplifying black creators, businesses, and voices. Visit the sites below which contain SEVERAL ways you can support BLM from home 🤎

Thanks to @biancaxgarcia for compiling these resources and graphics. Here are a variety of ways for you to support BLM beyond a social media post. Also follow the link in my profile: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/#

💐Super late post today because I spent 50% of it trying to remove a tick from my stubborn pup and giving him a flea/tick bath, and the other 50% was spent reading LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE in preparation for my library’s book club which I’m helping my co-worker facilitate.
