Take it from someone who watched her hometown of Lahaina burn to the ground: It was FEMA that did the best job of taking care of victims. The federal govt did everything asked by my governor. We are recovering because of the fed govt. This plan to cut FEMA is INSANE & DANGEROUS.

Wow it’s like artists were right, it was for rich people to get richer while screwing the “normal people”.

Grant’s mother tells him the most important story is the one you tell yourself about yourself.
“We become what we pretend to be,” she says.
But no matter how skillfully he tells the tale, he’s still not a telepathic velociraptor with access to a jetpack, so what does she know?

"Avoid salt air," warns the mortal who does her best to coax me into persisting. "It #exacerbates your grief."
I drag myself onto barnacled rocks deep in the low tide seabed. These forked legs were never meant to carry me long. My mother, dark & sleek, leaps in the waves.

All librarians produce an aura of silence. For most of them, the field only extends a millimeter or so from their body. But the more powerful a librarian becomes, the bigger their aura gets. Prophecy foretells of the Ultimate Librarian, who will someday come to silence the world.
