It’s on Deezer, too. I’m sure it’s on others.

This came up in my feed while sitting at my hairdresser. She has a sticker on her mirror that reads “You are already more than enough ❤️”
This must be today’s theme! Thanks for the reminder!

A close up on the hanging sign outside the Crow and Lyre tavern showing a crow with a lyre for a wing. The sign is lit from behind by bright morning sunlight, the text says bad influence pg. 90

We're back with a new chapter and it's a bright morning at the Crow & Lyre

This administration really hates libraries for some reason. This needs to stop. There are links in the article to send an email to your governors and federal legislators.

It’s a shame they couldn’t get EA to make Alice: Asylum. The design bible the team put together was really amazing!

Post from Reddit reads UPDATE: DOGE has told Institue of Museum and Library Services Employees to leave the offices Join Updated to correct information: IMLS employees are still in the office. They will not be fired today or escorted off the premises because DOGE doesn't want a media scene. They will likely be fired tonight/tomorrow, while no one is in the offices. All, the traction of posts here has led to DOGE not firing or escorting IMLS employees from the offices for fear of bad press. [crossed out text start/Employees were told to leave the premises and have done so without being escorted or fired./crossed out text end] DOGE intends to RIF notify/place employees on admin leave while no one is in the office because DOGE doesn't want video of employees being escorted out.

DOGE is unhappy with the "leak" , unhappy with public discussion of illegal firings, and unhappy with the reaction in this subreddit. Keith Sonderling, the new acting director and also DepSec Labor was stopped from completely closing the agency down this morning. It was enough to spook them. This is good. Report every time they're around town on this subreddit and more widely on the niche subreddits associated with whatever service or agency they're trying to shut down next. We have the 1st Amendment, and it protects us screaming loudly at all this illegal bullshit virtually and in person. IMLS is still likely to be shuttered by the weekend, but DOGE didn't have free reign because you all reacted here and boosted this to news media. OP Update: Someone is trying to reset my user password and has sent requests to my devices without me having done it. If this is taken down, it wasn't me who took it down.

IMLS raided by DOGE today. Press leaking online prevented them from firing everyone during the workday. People likely to be fired in the evening or over the weekend to avoid negative press.

a crowd of people are standing behind a barrier that says police line Alt: Scene from movie Ghostbusters 2 (1989). The Statue of Liberty is animated by positively charged slime to make her walk down to a building to break a barrier. Crowds of people are standing behind a barrier watching the statue walk with a police motorcade.

France just needs to hire the Ghostbusters to move her. Maybe she can walk over to the orange guy’s tower and knock it down on her way.

It’s like they know what I’m thinking when I read the news…

My kid loved this cover when you released it! She’s still waiting on you to make more songs with the kids. The seven year old has spoken.

NAACP lists companies that dump DEI in its tactical spending guide for Black Americans The NAACP wants Black Americans to steer their buying power toward corporations that haven’t pulled back from diversity programs under conservative pressure.

APNews:
“Keisha Bross, an economic strategist at the NAACP, says they are not calling for a ‘boycott’ of companies but instead encourage consumers to ‘buy-in’ on companies that back their values. People of all backgrounds are encouraged to use the Black Consumer Advisory.”

The Black Consumer Advisory

NAACP is listing companies who have dumped their DEI practices via their Black Consumer Advisory “to inform and caution Black consumers about the ongoing and intentional rollback of nationwide diversity, equity, and inclusion commitments.”

How about donating funds to nonprofits that are actually helping people on 2/28 instead?

We would need an entire week to limit spending in corporations in order for this to make a dent in their profits.

We need to help the small businesses and nonprofits more than anything.
