i think fundraising for politicians on fedi is a bit gauche when there are so many people in the #MutualAid hashtag who really need help

political parties full of billionaires with massive corporate donors don't need your contributions and a quarter million dollars is still absolutely nothing to them

“I will always be on the side of the libraries”: A Conversation with Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman is a fierce supporter of libraries. The author of American Gods, Neverwhere, Good Omens, The Sandman, Coraline, and so many more has had a lifelong love affair with reading.
