Blumenthal 'angry' and 'ashamed' after visit with imprisoned Afghan interpreter arrested by ICE in CT “It is cruel, and it is stupid,” U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal told reporters Wednesday outside the Plymouth (Mass.) County Correctional Facility.

NEW: Last month, ICE detained an Afghan interpreter in East Hartford.

Today, @blumenthal.senate.gov visited him at the ICE facility where he’s being held in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Here’s my dispatch from the Cape, for CT Insider — www.ctinsider.com/news/article... #nutmegsky

(Maybe not the point, and is it too obvious to say they aren't saying we need more Linda May Han Ohs, Mali Obomsawins, or Brandee Youngers? They don't want more like them, they make blended diasporal musics, and they're not replaceable by an algo.)

Just gonna share this list I made for myself of accounts that auto-post or regularly post cute, fun, quirky, interesting, and educational stuff. It’s totally politics free. It’s a nice place to retreat to if you need a break from everything but still want to scroll.

Let me ask you a question :

Think of your favorite “resister” . Your fave Vlue/ Left platform .

When was the last time they talked about art? About joy

When was the last convo WITH

that’s what the oligarchs want

Ooooooof

Vocational Awe and Librarianship: The Lies We Tell Ourselves – In the Library with the Lead Pipe Vocational awe describes the set of ideas, values, and assumptions librarians have about themselves and the profession that result in notions that libraries as institutions are inherently good, sacred notions, and therefore beyond critique. I argue that the concept of vocational awe directly correlates to problems within librarianship like burnout and low salary. This article aims to describe the phenomenon and its effects on library philosophies and practices so that they may be recognized and deconstructed.

If you’ve never read her article, you can read it here. www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2018/vocatio...

Fobazi’s article about vocational awe was one of the first things I read in my master’s program at UW, and it set the tone for the type of librarian I would become and in turn influence how I mentor the next generation of librarians. Please donate if you’re able. This field owes so much to her.

This week on VIBE CHECK, I explain why I’m going to Provincetown for vacation: “I need a drink in my hand, a dick in my mouth and no thoughts in my head. I need to heal, girl.”

If they don't shake down the trustees and give the money to Gazans, I'm out.

Now, one of La Mujer Obrera’s most respected young leaders, Catalina Xochitl Santiago-a DACA recipient-is unlawfully being held in ICE custody

Thank you for documenting these.

Using "female" really makes you sound like an alien. Female what? Bird? Whale? USB terminal?
So you have to imply "human" at the end, which, what? Who says "I wouldn't vote for a female [human]" except an extraterrestrial?

Women shouldn’t hold office, says GOP woman now running for office “I don’t know if I would vote for any female,” said state senate hopeful Mylie Biggs, the daughter of GOP Rep. Andy Biggs.

You really don't have to use their despicable name for that place.

Like that’s one thing I’m not letting up on

There was an entire abuse campaign that cover behind my name in journalism mostly among women

Based on a white dude lying about shit I never said and getting away with it because it “sounded like me”
