Thoughtful Chaos

👋 Love is hard enough to find in this world without putting random restrictions on it.

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries.

Always money for war.

Like, follow, and share if you love libraries!

No kings, masters, overlords or any of that bullshit. Time to take the country back.

It's National Library Week. The Mississippi Library Association isn't celebrating It may be National Library Week, but in Mississippi, while some local libraries are celebrating, the state Library Association is not. Here's why.

It's hard to celebrate National Library Week when your libraries are under attack. Defunding IMLS is already taking books off library shelves. /1

“So many people turning out in so many, so many red states.”

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for her comprehensive coverage of Saturday’s nationwide #handsoff mobilizations.

Call Congress for our libraries. Show up for our libraries. American library association.

ALA is deeply concerned by reports that IMLS is sending notices to libraries claiming to cancel grants that are required by law. This harmful action will disrupt libraries' ability to serve their communities.

Trump Administration Calls for Elimination of Federal Agency that Funds Libraries. Photo of White House at night.

Library lovers, we need your help. A recent executive order calls for the elimination of IMLS, the only federal agency that funds libraries nationwide. Without IMLS, many of the resources and programs we love could be at risk.

There needs to be an email filter that allows the email through, just in case I want to see it -- but then will delete the email after 30 days if I don't open it.

Dear Congress:

Please, do your job.

Please be the check and balance needed against the insanity that is happening.

Represent the people. Use your power before it is gone. Push back.

Warm regards,
A concerned citizen

The IMLS Wants You to Be Financially Literate Improve your money management skills with free online financial literacy resources

Even if you’re mindful of your spending and savings, you may still lack important financial literacy skills that could make things more difficult than needed.

To address this issue, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has created a financial literacy page

Destroy this myth. Please share if you have visited and researched in a library this past year! RT And give a shout out to your favorite library you have ever visited.

There has been an increase in the number of Silver Fox Santas in movies and commercials this year. I am here for this trend.

My kids are currently watching for the first time. I've warned them that we need to stop before the final season. They're saying no. I replied "don't say I didn't warn you"

The USA needs to read this….3 times….slowly.

i love you libraries i love you museums i love you botanical gardens i love you public parks i love you art galleries

Let’s talk about Direct File.

It’s a free, easy way for people to file their taxes directly online with IRS.

You keep your tax refund — rather than paying $150 to a sleazy tax prep company.

It’s more efficient!

But these Republicans want you to keep wasting money on TurboTax.

Along with a promise of ‘Medicare For All’, this should be the message EVERY SINGLE DAY in ANY Democratic campaign …

I love this and couldn't have said it better.

All I want is a reality skill competition show where instead of booting someone each week, they rank them. Nobody gets kicked off because they had a bad day or took a risk that didn't work out. You really see who the overall Best person is by the end.
