Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

I think if your activism and incentive to be a good person are based on fear it will not be sustainable in the long term. You have to desire to be good because you care about people. Your activism also has to prioritize actionable things you can do, not what you must omit or deny.

No, when the moon hits YOUR eye like a big pizza pie that's amore. When it hits my eye it fucking crashes into my skull and kills me instantly

Me as the pea under all of those princess' mattresses: I'm gonna fuck her shit up

Rosa Parks needed other people to pay her rent because they just quietly stopped taking her calls

Fannie Lou Hamer had her house regularly challenged for purchase

People are trying to act like Black women specific and people in general aren’t working from historical data as opposed to “emotion”

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

how are you!!! how has ur 2025 been

holy, fucking, shit.

If you’re looking for a quick printable to share about the #IMLS, I made this little zine. Download, insert your congresscritters’ information, fold and share.

Tell Congress to overturn the harmful order to eliminate the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Eliminating #IMLS, the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, would be harmful for ALL Americans.

A tiny little zine named "A Zine About the Institute of Museum and Library Services and Why It Needs Your Help Today".

Today I made a zine to inform people about the EO that would gut the #IMLS. I was asked to share, so hey, why not share widely? You can download and print your own copies at drive.google.com/file/d/1DUsm....

If you need help folding, search for Hotdog Booklet and you should find directions easily.

A digital art graphic with the phrase Libraries are for Everyone with the words “libraries” and “everyone” in Pride colors and in retro zine block text. There are a brown silhouette of a girl and black silhouette of a boy reading. At the top in smaller letters is SAVE OUR LIBRARIES.

Did you know #IMLS is only a FRACTION of the federal budget at .0046% of the total budget.

Libraries have an average Return on Investment of $4-5 dollars for every tax dollar spent.

Let your reps know!
