“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.” Lyndon B. Johnson Lord. Forgive them for they do not know. 🙏🏾

Tyler Childers & Jason Isbell are poster children for this hipsteresque/traditionalist country. Both are products of Appalachia and have legitimate connections to much of what they sing about. Unlike corporate country their music often actually features ties to land and history.

This little library made me a reader, and then a writer. Within its walls, I only heard “Yes.” Yes, check out as many books as you can. Yes, read to understand the world and yourself. Celebrating libraries as cornerstones of both democracy and humanity, this week and always. ❤️
