We're suing Trump to save library funding. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.

NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services.

The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

@jessicaturtle.bsky.social @ourmoh.bsky.social you are a superstar 🌟
Hugely deserved round of applause for your personal and powerful keynote contribution at the @homelesslink.bsky.social conference.
💓 Powerful takeaway that ending homelessness needs to be more about love than rules.

A massive load of stacks of logs in a thames lighter Barge galley

I hucked in all these logs across the moorings yesterday bc @mattturtle.bsky.social has a bad back, usually we do it together. Its half a tonne total so I feel suitably proud.

I caught up with the last couple weeks of @404media.co whilst I did it. Highly recommend subscribing to those guys.

I see that Trump is a feminist hero now, in a move from gender criticals that is entirely expected.

A stunning golden sunrise over canary wharf Rose gold sun on tower bridge with Matt on our moorings

There was a seal playing in the Thames this morning. Combined with this sunrise, as me and @mattturtle.bsky.social step off the moorings and back to the museum, it feels like the week should have blessings in it.

Wishing everyone a good one 😊

No worries. I went and met them all when they were working on the show and the vibes were genuine
The finished show was very high quality as well and not in a community gallery but the main museum galleries for contemporary art.
