To celebrate Indigenous Peoples all year (not just the second Monday of Oct) here are some books that came out this year to add to your library or your holiday shopping list. What are you reading by Native authors this fall?

do you remember when you first read octavia e. butler’s 📖parable of the sower📖, and 2024 seemed so far away? maybe you, like many of us, thought “we can still change course.” well… lauren oya olamina’s fifteenth birthday is saturday, july 20, 2024.

Had fun with @indyreads kicking off their One State One Story events on Tiya Miles. My talk, “Mirrors and Windows: Reading for and Beyond Empathy,” is part of the @INHumanities Advancing Racial Equity speakers bureau. The @NyBooks Namwali Serpell essay seen here is worth a read.

Yet another reason to support your local libraries.

The amount of aerosol a person exhales is correlated with how loud they are talking/singing. Perhaps a reason why there have been no super spreader events reported in a library (?)
