Not actually Batgirl. If this account were a book, it would be a spicy, queer manifesto with a side of sarcastic footnotes and a oatmilk Earl Grey latte with lavender syrup. πŸ––πŸ» #SussexSquad #KHive #Librarian

Several Ukrainian children abducted by Russia forcibly sent to North Korea, expert tells US Senate "12-year-old Misha from the occupied Donetsk region and 16-year-old Liza from occupied Simferopol were sent to Songdowon camp in North Korea, 9,000 km from home," Rashevska testified. "Children there ...

Child abduction.

Child smuggling.

My guess is that there is child trafficking in the mix too.

The slave trade is alive and well, apparently.

What happened to our laws like the Geneva Convention and human decency?

It is chilling to me that world leaders are warning Ukraine that we cannot be trusted.

It’s true.

We can’t.

I’m fucking livid at this administration for trying to abandon Ukraine

Apparently, this made the leftists mad. Well, too bad. You don’t have to employ racism to criticize someone.

Lord almighty, apparently it’s totes ok to be gross and a little bit racist if it’s against Black Dems you don’t like.

Ick.

Criticize him all you want but being a racist asshole back is not cool. Make your point a different way.

It’s not funny.

If the β€œjoke” needs a paragraph explaining how it’s funny, it’s not funny.

You can criticize Jeffries without being racist assholes

A very soft looking grey tabby who looks like he has a little bit of Scottish short hair in him. He has plump cheeks and wide yellow eyes and is apparently an expert biscuit maker

My sibling introduced me to a new cat friend.

They sent me a picture today.

His name is DR BISCUITS 😭

It’s AWFUL and even when it’s not actively hurting, it’s lurking. β€œMild” is a crappy description of it

Given that this current administration values neither education nor culture, this IS a massive win because it’s forcing them to obey the law and fund critical educational programs.

As a librarian, this is huge for us even though i know we have a long way to go to repair what’s broken.

This is domestic terrorism, plain and simple. Black and Brown people are under attack in the United States.

Doesn’t matter if you’re a citizenβ€”I.C.E. DOES NOT CARE and have been instructed as much.

This all ends very, very horrifically.

Trust me, I get the anger. A program I worked with for over two years got gutted by DOGE and my colleagues lost their jobs. It was awful.

But we have to take the good where we can. Small victories are important and this was a biggie

It makes me so angry. It’s so demoralizing having someone shit on a legitimately good thing like that. So many libraries depend on federal funding for critical programs and grants.

People can be such assholes

I am absolutely sick and tired of the β€œit’s not good enough” people. For fuck’s sake. Libraries getting their federal funding restored is a GOOD THING.

It’s not fucking helpful poo-pooing any victory we get over this administration.

A win is a fucking win. Take it!

Weβ€˜ll keep fighting.
