I can’t believe the hatred of some people. A man at the laundromat I’ve never met just started rambling to me about how horrible it is that all these people have been coming into the country, and if they came around here (rural IL) they’d get shot in the head. Human beings.

Journal with an illustration of Princess Leia holding an open book. Above are the words “Read. It’s our only hope.”

My brother-in-law got me a new journal, and I love it.

Look, there are a lot of valid criticisms to make of the Ivies, but “fuck this administration, we’re making our civics courses free so you can understand WHY fuck this administration” is a baller move.

3 cheers for prosocial spite.

"What can we do to stop book censorship and destruction of libraries in the US? How can we push back against the dismantling of public education?"

This is over four years of how-tos, guides, insights, and more. Resources are beyond plentiful.

Well then, I’ll continue and seek to do even more! I’m sorry I came off as saying it wasn’t good enough. It was more my brain telling me I wasn’t good enough.

No the archive is doing amazing work, and I do what I can to use it to preserve information. I guess I just meant is there more I can do to help somehow, and I thought an established org like the IA wouldn’t be looking for someone who can’t dedicate a whole lot of time to it.

Fund Libraries. Tell Congress to invest in libraries. American Library Association.

We're almost out of time to #FundLibraries. We need you to call Congress TODAY.

Without sustained funding, legal wins for the future of the Institute of Museum & Library Services will only be temporary.

Besides the Internet Archive, is there someone or a group of someones who are keeping archives of books and knowledge that is likely to be banned during this administration? And how do I help?

Facebook ad encouraging North Americans to escape to Scotland, alluding to the U.S. political turmoil.

Facebook post expressing frustration with J.K. Rowling's anti-trans comments, saying, "can J. K. Rowling shut the fuck up." Beneath the post is the option to reply if you are interested or not interested in the post.

Facebook's algorithm is being a little cheeky putting these one right after the other.

That Disney princess zodiac sign thing is so stupid.

But if you’re wondering, I’m a Merida sun, Elsa moon, Belle rising.

It’s No Joke The Reckoning Has Already Begun

Incredible quote from a piece by Elliot Kirschner about Seth Rogan’s comments at the Breakthrough science awards. And thank you, Seth, for speaking up.

I highly recommend

Why didn’t anybody ever tell me journaling could help me reflect on how I’m feeling and work logically through my harmful thoughts?*

*she had, in fact, been told these things by numerous friends and professionals.

I’ve been stepping in every fairy circle I see, but I still haven’t been taken, unfortunately.

Someone wrote “Save IMLS” in the dust on the van that delivers our interlibrary loans.

I’m so worried that we’ll lose interlibrary loaning because of this. Our patrons rely on that to get the books we (a two-employee library) don’t have.

Cutting all those CDC and FDA departments isn’t about cost-cutting. It’s about weeding out people who are sick or disabled. It’s eugenics.

I appreciate that Clover Valley wants to give me my money’s worth, but do they have to fill their distilled water jugs so high that they overflow every time I open a new one?

Why do I only feel inspired to clean when I’m sick?

Branch is an interesting name for a kid

I tried to get a photo of the underside of some mushrooms, and ended up with a weird sun flare portrait thing

Can of Liquid Death “Doctor Death” sparkling water

This tastes like someone took diet Dr. Pepper and made it more diet. It’s like homeopathic Dr. Pepper

It would be nice if Hulu was actually working

Trump didn't seem to understand that when Zelensky said "you will feel it," he did not mean emotions. He meant it in a metaphorical physical sense. As in, you will feel these bad things happening to you soon too.
