I READ BANNED BOOKS

We Do This Til We Free Us (audiobook) by Mariame Kaba, finished in May 2023

We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Wind's Twelve Quarters, Volume 1

remember who you are

The future cannot blame the present, just as the present cannot blame the past. The hope is always here, always alive, but only your fierce caring can fan it into a fire to warm the world.
Susan Cooper, Silver on the Tree
