Lin - Wisdom, justice & love

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

The StepUp project, developed by Andrian Hordiichuk, offers a low-budget and easy-to-use trainer that will potentially help people with gait rehabilitation.

He transformed LEGO pieces into a functional and innovative tool to support veterans.

We are proud of young Ukrainians! 💙💛🧵

Obama: I believe in an America where we don't fear each other. But look out for each other. And if we want that story to continue. If we believe in that better story. We need leaders who believe in it too.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Couldn’t love this more.

Mr. Rogers during his last broadcast:

"I know how tough it is some days to look with hope and confidence on the months and years ahead. But I would like to tell you what I often told you when you were much younger. I like you just the way you are."

The rage you are feeling comes from the same place inside your heart as the love. This is why you refuse to accept a world where cruelty reigns and the fire consumes all. You have known hope and joy and kindness like you have known water. And justice is a river that demands you do not give up on it. - Nikita Gill

Just a reminder that raging against injustice is a great thing especially today, especially now and forever.

Okay new idea for a library service: leave a hobby take a hobby. When people get bored with a hobby they can come and leave their supplies and books and half-finished things, and exchange them for someone else’s supplies and books and half-finished things. Hobby swap.

the idea of antifa paying protesters is so funny. if i wanted to get paid to destroy the government i’d run for congress

As seen at No Kings Atlanta:

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

"How can I make a difference?" asked the fox. "Be kind to others" replied the moon, "for even the smallest acts of kindness make the world a better place."

I hope you'll take a moment for these beautiful parting words from the incomparable Jane Goodall.

(And she threw in a little salt for the evil ones, too)

A series of strikes have just been recorded only 1 km from the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, posing a direct threat to nuclear safety, the IAEA warned.

ICE agents assault amNewYork reporter at Federal Plaza immigration court; another journalist seriously injured after shove | amNewYork ICE agents assaulted amNewYork's own Dean Moses, and allegedly attacked another journalist, on Tuesday morning as they were documenting the ongoing arrests of

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

When are all the terrified people who know this is wrong but think they can just wait out the next three years going to wake up and take their heads out of the sand?

Now.. imagine we do what we did with Disney with more and more mega corporations… until we have healthcare, housing, living wages, bodily autonomy, gender and racial equity, money out of politics… and like… just keep going all the way until we get to the liberation of everyone worldwide.

Jimmy Kimmel Returns: ABC Ends Suspension Starting Tuesday Jimmy Kimmel will return to late night on Tuesday

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Reminder that September is National library card month, so you should totally go get a library card! Yes, they have books, but many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and more! Maybe it's time for a visit!

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying.

We ALL need to step up for the first amendment.

By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny.

Stand Up, America

Silencing smart people so dumb people won’t be offended is like unplugging the smoke alarm so the fire won’t feel bad.

Cover of the book Preserving Government Information: Past, Present & Future by James A. Jacobs & James R. Jacobs.

Podcast cover for Episode #9 of "Future Knowledge" titled "Preserving Government Information." The design features portraits of the three guests—James Jacobs, Jim Jacobs & Shari Laster—arranged in a grid. Surrounding them are collage-style retro-futuristic elements, including a classical statue head, a vintage computer with the word "NEW" on its screen, a modernist observation tower, and abstract architectural shapes. The title uses bold, blocky typography, giving the cover a vintage sci-fi aesthetic.

When government records disappear, who protects our history?

James Jacobs, Jim Jacobs, & Shari Laster explain how to keep our history & democracy accessible in the latest Future Knowledge #podcast, PRESERVING GOVERNMENT INFORMATION.
