I accidentally took a 3-paragraph discussion board assignment and turned it into a 2000+ word essay on the connection between professionalism library science & YT supremacy. 🤭

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION SUBJECT: New Annual Media Rotation Program for Pentagon Press Corps For over a half-century, the Pentagon Press Corps has benefited from working out of individual office spaces that provide coveted and open access to some of the Department's top military and civilian leaders. Known as the Correspondents' Corridor, this office space loaned to media outlets by the Secretary of Defense stands as a tribute to the importance the Department has long placed on informing the public about the U.S. military and all it does to project peace through strength. It also honors the many correspondents who put their lives on the line, and in many cases died, while covering our finest in battle. In order to broaden access to the limited space of the Correspondents' Corridor to outlets that have not previously enjoyed the privilege and journalistic value of working from physical office space in the Pentagon, beginning February 14, 2025, the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs will implement a new Annual Media Rotation Program for those dedicated media spaces. Each year, one outlet from each press medium - print, online, television and radio - that has enjoyed working from a physical office in the Pentagon will rotate out of the building to allow a new outlet from the same medium that has not had the unique opportunity to report as a resident member of the Pentagon Press Corps. This year, the following news outlets will begin their rotation by vacating their physical office space effective Friday, February 14, 2025: Print - The New York Times TV - NBC News Radio - National Public Radio Online News - POLITICO In their place, the following outlets from each medium will be invited to move into the Correspondents' Corridor workspaces formerly occupied by the above four outlets. Print - New York Post TV - One America News Network Radio - Breitbart News Network Online News - HuffPost News (aka The Huffington Post)

To be clear, the outlets that vacate the spaces loaned to them by the Secretary will remain as full members of the Pentagon Press Corps. They will continue to enjoy the same media access to the Pentagon and will be able to attend and cover briefings and be considered for travel with civilian and military leaders in the Department as they have previously. The only change will be giving up their physical workspaces in the building to allow new outlets to have their turn to become resident members of the Pentagon Press Corps. Thank you in advance for participating in the Pentagon Press Corps Annual Media Rotation Program. By turning over the office space loaned to you by the Secretary, you will ensure that new outlets will have the same opportunity you have enjoyed covering our nation's finest up close from office spaces inside the walls of the Pentagon.

NBC News is being kicked out of its space in the Pentagon and replaced by OANN.

Don't call it a "detention camp" at Guantanamo.

It's a CONCENTRATION CAMP.

i prefer “performance art” rather than “crying in the grocery store”

JUST IN: A new H5N9 bird flu variant has been found in U.S. poultry for the first time at a California duck farm.

This variant, linked to the dangerous H5N1 strain, has led to the culling of nearly 119,000 birds to stop the outbreak.

Sometimes I wanna be like all these artists who only post art and nothing else and remain cool and mysterious-

….then I remember I love yapping. It’s been my downfall on every app but here. Thanks no algorithm. 💀

Screenshot of textbook from Sullivan (2013), p. 35 Highlighted text/paragraph: The drive to evaluate services from a more businesslike point of view has its origins in the Reagan era, but it hit its apex with the 1993 Government Performance and Results Act, a federal law that requires government agen- cies to “create measurable performance goals for their programs and report to Congress their progress in meeting those goals.” That legislation affected the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which filtered this need down to local libraries. Eventually it would lead to a business-style approach to designing library services.

Ofc the Reagan regime was behind turning the modern library into a business-like entity. 🙃🙃🙃 Fxck that POS.

Our goal is to facilitate numerous branches wherever people want to cultivate a craftivist community. It is ab empowering individuals to build community where they are. /3

In this club, we discuss things like systemic injustice, the problems of neoliberalism, & community care. This group is NOT a space for hot takes. Nuance is expected, and black & white thinking is discouraged. /2

I started crybaby craft club, where we engage in arts & crafts as a form of radical activism. Crafts have historically been huge components of radical movements, including ACT UP, a queer leftist grassroots movement started to raise awareness for AIDS. /1

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

Ahhh tysm!!!! It took over 24 hours from start to finish, but it’s probably the best thing I’ve crocheted. I’m really proud of it. The designer did an incredible job with the pattern, & she was awesome to test for. ❤️‍🔥

The evil in the world is like the darkest of nights. The good is like a small torch. The small torch may burn out or be insufficient to illuminate the path ahead. However, many torches can alleviate the burden & provide more light.

Now is the time to dig into community.
