Madam Librarian Marilyn (she/her)

Ahhhhh yay one of my favorite romance authors with my old scientist buddy! So fun!

I haven't sold a book on Amazon since one copy of Frostburn on 2/17. If you'd like to boost my self-esteem, here are some options:

Tikka Chance on Me books2read.com/u/mKKrNv
Kick at the Darkness books2read.com/u/4Xrqqv
Frostburn books2read.com/u/47aYWq

Although I’m realizing the nationalities/ethnicities don’t match, iirc. BUT STILL.

Profile Picture of Yerin Ha in a bright red top in a waltz pose with Hudson Williams in a white suit with a tie cravat broach situation for a Lunar New Year celebration.

@courtneymilan.com ummmmm I saw this and immediately thought of the Wedgeford Trials. Hudson looks like a fairy tale prince.

Many happy returns, Ms. Bev! You are amazing. We are so lucky to have you in our world.

Motor kitty!!! Awwww

They were already blocked in the “Trump Enablers” list, but I reported them for violence—> human trafficking 😇

I’m blocking and reporting those mofos.

Too many people are trying to differentiate between ICE and police.

I will hold your hand as I say this:

Police in the US treat marginalized people the way ICE treats everyone. They're far more similar than you want to admit.

Defunding the police and abolishing ICE are the same fight.

This whole thing made me see red. I figured the fetishization of queer men by women was happening because of the show, but to see it so clearly shown both in his experience and in the replies… oof.

This was fucking enraging to read.

People of color > me on this so if they correct me, listen, but Say Her Name is reserved for Black, Brown, and Indigenous women BECAUSE they suffer state violence but will never be remembered the way Renee will. Renee died horribly. Her whiteness will guarantee a legacy women of color DO NOT GET.

A person in a Frog costume faces down several military dressed men with riot helmets in a painting

The guy who first dressed as Portland Frog, a major symbol of our protest and then other national protests, has been arrested while peacefully protesting. Prints of this painting by Simran Gleason are being sold to support his defense. www.simrangleason.com/prints/p/por... #pdx #protest

This is demonstrably untrue.

"shitting on ai makes you sound like a Luddite" oh okay, thank you! Luddites were cool as hell

The financial instability of The NewsHour is a civic crisis. PBS’s flagship nightly news broadcast can’t fund a weekend broadcast or keep its last bureau — Phoenix — open.

Reading Ari Baran’s Delay of Game and they’re just bros! Who just really want to win a cup for their best buddy! And also maybe suck each other’s dicks for good luck! And just like. Keep it bros and not be weird! These oblivious sweet traumatized chuckleheads are making my heart hurt.

And just in a practical sense, don’t discount the mental health benefits of Doing Something. Just—and please listen to Grandma Liz here, who has been Doing Activism for a very long time—let go of the expectation of seeing results. This fight is endless. There are gains and losses. But it still helps

this is such an important thing to recognize and call out

the fascism is mostly done being nice at this point, but it got here through well dressed men politely asking questions while the rest of us were scolded for pointing out where those questions led

The sleight of hand is getting people to agree that there are kinds of people who should be punished, surveilled, treated as lying or incompetent until they prove otherwise.

Statements like this? Are why minorities don't trust White people politics. Because it communicates that if the switch-up is juuuust right, you'll trade our interests for whatever you think is worth more. After all, "there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only permanent interests."

I may never leave the cottage again. #HeatedRivalry

"Like Amazon Prime, but with human beings."

It. Doesn't. Actually. Understand. A. Single. Word. Of. What. It. Is. Fed.

It just chops up sentences and calculates how often words follow each other. That's it. Nothing more. It can't summarize material for you because it doesn't understand that material.

I've said it before but there is no such thing as "AI". It's a deliberate misnomer that functions as propaganda for "the brain is just a computer" arm of tech. And there's a whole fucked up ouroboros of dehumanization/misogyny/racism involved in that sphere.

I really do not care if the guy who has raped kids is from my political party. My moral philosophy is that you don't rape kids, and there is nothing you can do that earns you a get-out-of-raping-kids-free card.

The thing that really gets me is back in 2014 I think bigots in NC tried to pass a bathroom ban & it blew up in their faces & when these same people came back with "fairness in sports" too many people took them seriously when it was an obvious change in tactics!

Man the universe is wild. Same time one door shut another 'door' called us.

We have an offer for a mini-van for 6k, if we can raise it ASAP.

🌠 Anyone wanna participate in a Wintermas miracle? 🕯️

A vehicle is the only chance we've got of making it.

0/$6,000 Will keep track nightly in this thread.

So gorgeous! I didn’t know about this anime until college, but I remember liking it.
