The white folks sexually exploited those they enslaved. So we're related more than people think!

I can imagine. I'm very sorry. I've thought about trying to do that work (outreach to the descendants of those who my ancestors enslaved in Putnam County). The past isn't past, to paraphrase Faulkner, is it?

I wonder if any of the descendants of their enslavers have reckoned with that horrible history.

Wyoming lawmakers' proposal to ban 'explicit' books from libraries falters as clock runs out The Legislature was advancing a bill that backers saw as a common sense way to keep "sexually explicit" books out of kids hands. Critics saw it as a book ban, and Teton County librarians have lined up...

THE HORRIFIC BOOK BANNING BILL IN WYOMING WAS KILLED.

If your knee-jerk right now is "yeah but so many other ones," cool. *Not right here or right now.*

The Ensh*ttification of the Institute of Museum and Library Services Trucks On: What's Happening and What You Can Do Nearly a year after the Institute of Museum and Library Services was dismantled, what's happening at the agency? What can we do to help out?

Yesterday, I highlighted all of the ways that the Institute of Museum and Library Services has been enshittified with the installment of the new regime.

One of those updates was a new AI slop homepage that went up late last week:

Guess what's been reverted?

America’s Long War on Iran Didn’t Start This Weekend - Dame Magazine From the 1953 CIA-backed coup to Trump’s latest strikes, America’s attempts to reshape Iran have fueled instability, sanctions, and endless escalation.

In case you’re unfamiliar with our decades of interference in Iran, I wrote up a primer on it for @damemagazine.bsky.social. When Hegseth says that Iran’s been at war with us for decades, he’s got it totally backwards. At the end of the day, that’s us.

According to PEW, teens in households making under $75K are more likely to use chatbots for help with all or most schoolwork. I read a comment on another platform that said this is amazing news because we are "finally going to close the achievement gap." That is not how I would interpret this data.
