The Importance of Mentors and Libraries: My Experience Having a "Big Sister"

In honor of National Library Week, I’m sharing this post I wrote on my author website back in 2015. I hope you enjoy. When I was seven, my mother told me I was getting a "Big Sister" from the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. Since my brothers were too young for the program, only I would be getting one. I was getting a fake, older sister because I was special. Yeah, I was skeptical, too.

It's all linked together; TERFs, antivaxxers, conspiracy theorists, outspoken white supremacists, and so on. The core of the movement morphs, moves from one issue to the next, whether it's COVID, the environment, "farmer’s rights”, the so-called division between urban and rural, etc.

They form rhizomatic assemblages, temporary alliances, jump between bandwagons when one is slowing down and another one gains speed.

The end goal is always the same; remove anything that poses a threat to the white supremacist patriarchy, and the glorious national past.

Seeds and Shiny New Ideas

This week I did some winter sowing, a process of turning plastic jugs into mini winter greenhouses and allowing seeds to germinate on their own when conditions are right. I find the results are hit-or-miss, but if a plant does grow, it tends to be stronger and more acclimated than seeds started indoors. And since I have no space for a greenhouse in my small garden or inside my cottage, winter sowing it is.
