Take Action To Save Federal Funding for Libraries! Trump is attempting to destroy federal funding for libraries. We need you to take action today! That's why we made it easy to contact your reps, sign petitions, and learn about the Institute of Museum...

It looks like libraries could be at risk -

It’s been eye opening to see how everything is run by a handful of big corps. Trying to organize community? Good luck off Meta. Trying to promote a business? Meta runs it all. Trying to get people to sign up for a newsletter off an app? Again- Meta. I recognize the need for change.

We are doing this! Second Sunday Supper. We’ve had groups as big as 20 and as small as 2 but we still host. We noticed many need a church community without the church part.

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital.

You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library.

You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library.

You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library.

You want sourced info? Library.

Turns out you have to visit in person to get it :( and thanks for clarifying the ask!!

Empathy!!! Boooo hissssss!! WOOOOKKEEEEEEE! Jesus will not be amused as he looks down on us from his battle tank in the sky.

In Grandpa’s memory, amen. Pretty sure my Grandma didn’t ration panty hose for this shit.

Honestly I plan on this being my defining point “Oh! You drive a Tesla! Is it like ….a 2023 Tesla… or a 2025 Tesla?”

Learn about religious release time & its impact on our public schools. Sign up here! Religious release time is spreading rapidly across the country and is siphoning time and resources away from public schools. Join us for an eye-opening discussion about what it is really about, why it’s a problem for public schools, and how to push back.

Join us 1/28 to uncover the dangers of Lifewise Academy and RTRI in public schools. This program pulls students out of class for religious instruction, taking time and resources away from education. Learn what’s at stake and how we can fight back!

I’m sorry. Just sent a few bones. Not much but hope it helps.

The best part is how many people aren’t shocked and horrified because they don’t think he was doing that. He was testing what he could get away with and his test was successful. He could tweet a quote from Mein Kampf and people would be like “OhH HeS aN iNtellECtual.”

This. I’ve come to realize most people are not aware outside of their own bubble. This is true for not just politics but even wanting to Google basic things like interest rates or what words mean.

Wait so I can get a Salem library card from Texas? $85 is worth it. On it!

I was at mine today. Love the library and should use it more!

I’m writing letters and emails to local and state politicians to see what they’re doing about housing prices and the price of eggs. In all the insanity they create about trans people and book banning I want to hold them accountable

ADL be like

Merit based is hilarious when he appoints TV hosts to the highest ranks to oversee our military

Yep. At this point, it’s obvious they want to see what they can do unchecked. But honestly, what’s there to acknowledge when there are no consequences? He doesn’t have to resign from anything- he was never appointed or elected to anything. His life is unchanged.

I challenge anyone who says it wasn’t what it was, to try that at their next wedding or birthday party during the toast and see how the crowd interprets it. It was, what it was.

Blue lives matter until the felon asks you to make them not matter anymore. It all makes sense!

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.

We are heartbroken to lose the indomitable force that is our former president, Cecile Richards. In her 12 devoted years of service to our org, she brought us to new heights in our health care, education, and advocacy work.

She was the embodiment of “Care, no matter what.”

Like, I too want to mix the colors but I also don’t have a playdoh budget and despite the unreal amount of trash we make with single serve applesauce I don’t want to create more trash 🙃

But also, he can’t get egg prices down so he will call this a win. Edgy!

Blah blah blah it wasn’t a Yahtzee salute!! It was just something that looks sort of like it because he’s an edge lord who wants to trigger snowflakes. This is all totally normal, acceptable, everyday behavior by a totally normal dude. - Adrian Dittman

I foolishly forgot, I didn’t get it on my calendar and was storm prepping. I bet it was great!

Am I just passing on generational trauma by not letting my kids mix the Playdoh colors? I know it’s like $1 a jar but I know when they mix to brown it’s practically unusable for toddlers that desperately want to unmix it 😂
