STORYBOOK-CAFE

Monticello has long received serious attention, but only with this exhibition and catalogue have its contents received equal billing. Hundreds of Jefferson's belongings were returned for this exhibit, making it look more like the home Jefferson knew. With fully illustrated chapters on paintings, drawings, sculpture, furniture, silver, scientific instruments, clocks, maps, Native American artifacts, musical instruments, personal objects, etc.

I love when work and my love of books collide ❤ It's a crappy pic, but this is the Rotunda at UVa. It's made up of books with this fantastic quote underneath, and the mat colors are the UVa scheme - navy blue & orange for anyone unfamiliar. I'm assuming this piece is being hung in one of the offices @ one of the libraries. I also talked to one customer about Jenny Lawson tonight bc she was telling me about her love of taxidermied animals lol

Considering everything that's happened with #Charlottesville this week, it is EXTRA important to put this is your brain, fellow white people.

There are so many wonderful #diverse books to choose from, but after the events of this weekend and the statements from the White House, I am desperately missing Obama's leadership. #charlottesville #standuptoracism #anditsaugust #diversity

TheBookStacker I have this on audio. Haven't listened yet. 7y
Suet624 Me too. 7y
Blaire @TheBookStacker @Suet624 do it asap! He tells the story of growing up mixed-race in America and the struggle to find his identity beautifully. It is a wonderful read. 7y

Heather Heyer was right. And now she's dead. This weekend has been rough for many.

I will inform myself. I will pay attention. I will speak out against ideas and acts that our president apparently won't.

Don't forget to take care of yourself. Step away from the 📺, from Twitter & Facebook. Burnout is real and it affects activists.

Thanks, Litsy, for being a safe space.

I don't know about y'all, but my heart hurts right now. And as much I love Ms Angelou's words here, the fact is that I do hate the white supremacists & KKK & Nazis who invaded #Charlottesville this weekend. My hate for them is based in their belief that I am not human, that my Jewish & black & POC friends & family are not human. That fucking hurts.

I'm trying to read to distract myself but honestly, it not working right now.

My heart hurts.

Sace ❤️ I don't even have words. Well, I do. It's profanity. I'm so frustrated. These are not people you reason with or have discussions with. There should be no tolerance. 7y
Sace Of them I mean. I am a tiny blue dot in a very red state in the south and frankly I am very angry and resentful of all the trump people that surround me. 7y
lauren.lerner I saw a wonderful sign from Charlottesville that said "Tolerance does not mean tolerating intolerance" & I think that's really something because it's just so simple & true. My best words are profanity right now, otherwise I can't stop crying. I've never lived in a red state or city so I can only imagine how hard it must be, @RestlessFickleBookSlut, especially in times like these. Sending ?? 7y

monkeygirlsmama What a horrible horrible day! Hugs to all. 💟 7y
Notafraidofwords Ugh. And the people trying to intellectualize racism / antisemitics. 7y
lauren.lerner 💓💓💓 to you too, @monkeygirlsmama 7y
lauren.lerner I think that might enrage me even more tbh, @Notafraidofwords. All those folks are doing is revealing their Nazi/KKK/white supremacist sympathies and raising my blood pressure. 7y
