There are 100 terrible things in this bill. Focus like a laser on one or two of those things and start educating everyone you know on those one or two things. If each of us does that, then we'll be able to inform A LOT OF PEOPLE.

If a uni withholds a degree from someone who has met all the requirements for that degree bc they delivered a speech that reflects that studentโ€™s ideas and political commitments, then the uni is admitting that degrees are awarded for obedience, not intellectual achievement. Which, hey, may be true.

Dr Carla Hayden was a truly great Librarian of Congress. It is an outrage that she has been sacked - a national shame on the United States. I had the pleasure of knowing her and working with her - sheโ€™ll continue to do good in the next phase of her career whatever that is.

But tell us again how the humanities not not important.

Every single authoritarian goes after the libraries, the archives, the writers, and the thinkers.

She's still earning money off of the show is she not?

Then this is irrelevant, because the issue isn't about what the show itself may or may not say, the issue is that she takes that money and uses it to fund the harassment and discrimination of trans folks.

Adding #AltText to images is not just for folks who use screenreaders, though that in and of itself is a worthy goal. #AltText also demonstrates care for your entire community. It clearly says to everyone: we are not leaving anyone behind.
