Book banning is a serious issue right now, please watch Bri's video to get an idea of just how serious it is. Especially from the perspective of a Librarian.

This is breathtakingly evil.
My late-night anime thought because I will keep my joy.
Random late-night thoughts: When the time travel arc hits and everything clicks into place π anime and manga always get me in my feels when that happens
Came to BlueSky to post a silly thought about the anime I'm watching. But then I'm hit with reminders of what's been happening and the next worse thing to add on top of it. There is no way to regulate. I can't not know what's happening, but I also don't know how much more my anxiety can take

Power still out and there are an unusual number of planes flying very low.
I'm concerned.
A screenshot of a tweet from Secretary Sean Duffy (@SecDuffy) regarding a temporary outage of the primary NOTAM system. The tweet states that the outage does not impact the National Airspace System due to a backup system in place. It explains that NOTAMs provide flight safety updates and that all active NOTAMs were available until the outage. The FAA has activated a contingency system to support flight operations and is working to restore the system. The tweet mentions possible flight delays and advises checking with airlines for updates. It also states that the FAA is investigating the issue and will provide updates every 30 minutes through a hotline for aviation stakeholders. The tweet was last edited at 11:41 PM on February 1, 2025, with 76K views.
This is a big deal. We could see a full ground stoppage by morning of all flights if not immediately fixed. Really feels like things are coming apart quickly. Last outage of NOTAM in 2023 led to the largest ground stoppage since 9/11.

it is very telling of these guysβ conception of how power works that they see issuing a flurry of executive orders as evidence of presidential strength and vigor and not a sign that the president is too weak to pursue a serious legislative agenda

Normalizing the use of pronouns can help everyone, while also supporting our Trans and NB family and friends, by them not being singled out for their use. Happy Monday!
