Thank you LitHub for covering Project 2025, and for reaching out to talk about the mandate's impact on our freedom to read. I will be screaming about this nonstop to all book people until I lose my voice and am carried bodily from the town square. lithub.com/the-republic...

The Republicans’ Project 2025 is disastrous for books.

To a man who has dedicated his life to conserving and understanding our natural world: Happy 98th Birthday! 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for your decades of devotion to our planet's wonders and wildlife.

Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

THIS. "Boycotting" an election doesn't send the message that you're unhappy, because it doesn't lose them money like it would for a business. You're not the nation's customer. Refusing to vote sends the message that you're fine with whatever result you get, that other people can decide for you.
