I'm about halfway through One Battle After Another and it's kind of shocking how little it gives a shit about the politics it mostly uses as a weird fantasy forest for its characters to bounce around in
I’m gonna say it, I think it’s fucking cowardly a director who keeps winning all the awards this year with a movie that uses imagery of immigrant detention and militarized police etc has yet to even mention what’s going on in America in all his speeches. But I do see Ryan Coogler speak on Minnesota.
If US democracy was functional, this would have led to an immediate impeachment and removal from office.
REST IN PEACE TO BREONNA TAYLOR (June 5, 1993 – March 13, 2020)
Entering the weekend like the plant-people did back in 1668: focused, a bit anxious, and however still moving. #skystorians
Librarian Jarrett Dapier's graphic novel tells a fictionalized account of real-life events in 2013 that restricted access to Marjane Satrapi's memoir Persepolis in Chicago Public Schools. n.pr/4sGS3jR
tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse
They know that many people in the US will accept the killing of civilians overseas but will draw the line at high gas prices.
@nycplan.org is hosting a celebration of public libraries through a Library Art & Propaganda fair happening on June 13. We have a call for art submissions here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Fortunately we’ve already had Gillian Armstrong’s perfect adaptation of Little Women 🤩

Libraries are among the few public institutions that represent the kind of world we want to live in. They must be fought for.
The bottom line is that NYC Public Libraries need increased and most importantly STABLE funding annually. Mayor Mamdani promised both and this preliminary budget is a BROKEN PROMISE. There’s time for him to rectify this. NYC library patrons expect that he will.
We're finally rid of the bitter cold and now this!
Philly's air quality is being affected by temperture aversion and lack of wind, causing the increase in air particles.
Travelled from Philly and paid full price to see this revival, which was money well spent! (It helps that Ragtime is one of my fave musicals anyway)
Video of this age may be difficult to track down (WGBH Boston, the owner, may be able to help) but transcript is at least available via the Wayback Machine: web.archive.org/web/20011106...
And digitization is hardly a mechanically automatic process. Primary source materials can contain so much more information pertaining to the circumstances of their creation than can be gleaned from a scan of the “characters.” Archives contain *artifacts.*

Nah, if you can't support human rights for all people, and yes that includes trans people, you not only shouldn't get to run for office, you shouldn't be speaking at all until you get your heart fixed
If it's political to honor war dead, presumably there's an opposing political position, which I suppose is that they do not deserve to be remembered? So if you die in a war rather than some other way, to mourn you is controversial? I really hate this.
The Parker administration is failing so many of our most vulnerable neighbors while hanging our overworked, underpaid library workers out to dry www.inquirer.com/news/philade...
We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege
Appreciation to the @inquirer.com, Ximena Conde, and @aubreywhelan.bsky.social for this informative (if frustrating) article!
The current extreme weather is clearly demonstrating that Philadelphia is not climate resilient, nor are we anywhere close to properly funding public services in this city. Our infrastructure, our libraries, our schools….All desperately need more attention and help from city leaders. Gift link:
I was terrible at all the maths and felt so dumb when I was a high schooler in the 90s! I'm a visual learner and geometry did not click for me until I took patternmaking in undergrad as part of my fashion degree.
Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude
