I tend to do intro posts every time I add a bunch of new people, even though not a huge amount in my life has changed in the past couple of years.

Those library staff you filmed sound awesome! Public library staff in particular are so amazing at providing community, support, and a warm, safe space for people who can't find these things anywhere else. I remember once reading that public libraries are basically the last warm, indoor public space that people can go and use without any need or expectation to buy anything, so it's really important that they continue to exist and flourish.

Oh, Brexit. We've been living with it so long, like this looming horror, and honestly, fighting against it feels like screaming hopelessly into a storm. It's given license to some real ugliness — ugliness that always existed, but which was emboldened and legimitimsed by the referendum result. My greatest fear is that when Brexit goes badly (and it's almost impossible for this not to happen, I mean there's talk of emergency helicopters being deployed to deliver medication and food supplies to remote areas), the people who voted for it won't open their eyes to what they've done, but will instead blame the rest of us — Remain voters, the EU, and, above all, migrants — for somehow not facilitating their glorious utopia. I really, really despair.
