Actual librarian. Misanthrope in theory. When not getting paid: parent, queer lady, belly dancer, witch, Pagan, fatty, spare cat fur repository, and other things that trigger fash.
I was wondering how long after “the death of the paperback” was announced that we would see someone trying to reinvent the concept of pocket-sized books. Took about 5 minutes. #LivingBookHistory
I still think Trump is the luckiest motherfucker alive. But his one true superpower is his utter lack of shame.
He’s not wrong.

Iranians turn against Trump who presented himself as their saviour just a month ago.

Look, Trump had no choice but to fuck up the global economy. He had to stop the imminent release of more evidence that he sexually abused children.
Sorry to get political again on the silly Nintendo fangirl account but hey gang: when do we start really worrying about this shit. Are we there yet? Feels like we are there.
Gen A.I. barons want us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to build hell and have us pay for it.
There’s nothing more obnoxious than when people celebrate being an asshole or “just saying what everyone’s thinking”
Yeah, dude, most people have edgy thoughts, and learn to keep them inside. It’s called control. What you’re doing is like being really proud of constantly shitting yourself.
Jews are targeted in shuls & online.
Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps.
Muslims are openly targeted by politicians.
Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI.
Trans & queer people are being outlawed.
We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.
Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Some Tech CEO every day: "You don't get to own things now. I own your refrigerator. If you say mean things about me I will turn off your fridge and spoil all your dairy and eggs and meat. If you don't like it you go to jail."
People in my mentions: "Lmao are you REALLY a luddite? smh"
Rest in power Breonna Taylor. Today, we mourn six years without her, and six years without justice or accountability.
It’s not about anything but racism
“DEI” makes them money. Genre is a high performer
They don’t care

Regarding cats:
Are “aloof” and “a loaf” related?
oh no the thing that has happened to every single world power in every single major conflict since the advent of modern artillery is happening again
Good Point! Trump is dangerous.
Russia is helping Iran, Ukraine is helping the US, and Donald Trump is helping Vladimir Putin and Russia.
Sam Altman makes a pretty compelling case for nationalizing OpenAI.
“To the "I didn't vote for this" folks. You voted for a convicted felon. A twice-impeached president. A man found liable for sexual abuse. A man who tried to overthrow an election.
And now gas prices are surging, we're at war, and soldiers are coming home in coffins. This is what you voted for…” 🖕
Ms Rachel has shifted from advocating for children killed by bombs that our taxes pay for, to advocating for children that our government is imprisoning without cause, which our taxes also pay for.
This isn’t what a kid’s entertainer should feel the need to do, but since we’re here, more ppl should.
Americans are about to learn one of the things I was yelling about during the campaign: the US cannot produce enough oil to keep us from feeling the global shocks of oil prices, because oil is produced by companies who will just charge us more money if the supply goes down elsewhere.
Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN.
How do you think this all ends, folks?
The President of the United States casually talking about destroying a country “in an hour” should chill every democracy on Earth.
This is exactly why leadership requires restraint, diplomacy, and respect for human life.👇
No notes.
For weeks now, I've shared information about HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS protesting ICE REGULARLY. So much so that whole states like Kansas and Texas are rolling out LAWS to sanction schools and laws to criminalize TEENAGERS. Please let's be serious.
What a coincidence
looks like we traded generations of healthcare for 4 days worth of missiles
