So it's a three-day weekend...

Mom talked for days about how moved she was by Biden's speech as he signed Juneteenth into law. She really does love the guy; he seems to appeal to more intellectual older middle-class white women. Meanwhile, all I can think of is all the voter suppression the Democrats are utterly failing to stop even when you'd think their own self-preservation would make them figure that out, and I don't even remember what other terrible things are going on at the moment. I haven't watched Biden do anything since the inauguration. In fact, I've barely watched any politicians say or do anything. I just don't want to anymore, and it feels pointless.
Even the holiday is something that benefits more white people than black ones. Though at least federal employees all get their day off, even if OPM barely got the announcement out in time. Especially good for us librarians, since the virtual ALA conference means we won't get next Saturday off. I may take some days off after that too.
