I'm happy I grew up in the era of card catalogs and the dewey decimal system. Just walking into the library with a stack of index cards, a pen, and an idea.

A puppy and a raccoon standing face to face with the raccoon touching the puppy's snout.

"Let's go over this one more time."
"I know what-"
"ONE MORE TIME."
"Fine."
"What is it you're looking for?"
"A garbage bag."
"In which room?"
"The kitchen."
"What do you do when you find it?"
"Bring it to you here."
"I'm counting on you, Tim."

Well slap my ass and call me Suzy

“Our operator was trying to do her job under difficult circumstances and feared for her personal safety,” Di Carlo said. “She had no other option but to remove herself from the situation slowly and carefully which is what she did ... The driver made a gesture that was inconsistent with our standard of conduct when engaging with the public and that A & F Di Carlo regrets.”

A city-contracted plow operator in Toronto drove through a crowd protesting the US/Israel occupation of Gaza.

The operator apparently “feared for her personal safety.”

The fearful operator:

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later.

Remembering us is not enough.

Not much to say about Trans Day of Remembrance anymore besides “try loving and celebrating us while we are alive”

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Wild to think that just a few months ago this administration was cracking down on universities for not doing enough to root out antisemitism www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Liberal MPs express surprise and opposition to reports of pipeline deal Even if the Carney government and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith come to an agreement, opposition from First Nations and the BC government — as well as existing legislation — create substantial legal ...

Carney will make a fatal mistake if he tries to push an oil pipeline to the BC coast. The scale of civil disobedience over such a project from Indigenous / environmental groups will be unprecedented in our history. I hope his caucus can stop him. #NoPipelines

● This Isn’t An Accident
If it feels like every day there is a new story about a Black woman dying or being deprived of MATERNITY CARE, it’s because this is the system anti-abortion politicians have been creating. This isn’t a coincidence, this is their fucked up agenda & it’s taking lives daily.

● The Result? Tragedy
Weeks later, her 14-year-old son found her lifeless. Preeclampsia, a PREVENTABLE death if medical care had been allowed, claimed her life. Texas’ abortion ban didn’t protect her. It forced her to suffer and die. Tierra Walker deserved medical care, compassion, and a choice.

● Tierra Walker WANTED To Live.
In Texas, a 37-year-old devoted mom asked doctors for an abortion. She was high-risk for preeclampsia, 20 weeks pregnant, and pleading for help to end her pregnancy. But the state’s total abortion ban said no.

For decades, scholars have argued education’s hidden curriculum is about disciplining and socializing children as future workers, and they just….tweeted it out

As far as I've experienced, the only people who use Truth Social are Donald Trump and the people who make screen grabs of his posts

Imagine if you all just stopped doing that

I haven’t seen this get covered in English yet so let me translate.

Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they were

I’m the parent of an autistic kid. What CDC is doing here is offensive.

It’s offensive to me. It says his autism is the result of my ignoring evidence.

It’s offensive to my kid. It says there’s something wrong with him (there’s not) and it would be better to risk literal death than be autistic.

While Trump’s goons are desperately trying to criminalize protests, there are ways to protest that don’t involve leaving your house.

Trump can’t make you shop.

Don’t buy a damn thing besides necessities.

Hurt the billionaires.

Remember, this is not just about sticking it to Trump or seeing how Republicans voted. This about real people. I was in a meeting with Rep Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) today and she said the survivors told her “we are the Epstein Files and we want to be released.” THAT’S what this is about.
