Speak for your Libraries! They cannot speak for themselves. Be the Lorax for Libraries. Find your local board meeting. I am willing to help if you need help navigating your local stuff over DMs or Signal

But only for 150 days. So, just don’t buy stuff til Day 151

That’ll help the economy

Kind of like Little Greg Bongino, too. Don't choose to wear a 3/4 length, wide collar, olive green trench coat with jack boots and then wonder why people think you are a Nazi. Because, well, you look exactly like a Nazi. Let's not sugarcoat it, eh? Call a spade a spade.

The Prison Next Door - Bolts How Arkansas’ secretive plan for a new state lockup angered residents in a deep red corner of rural America—and changed how some see incarceration.

this great reporting by @laurengill.bsky.social follows-up on her feature last fall on the organizing that's happening in this community

it's really worth spending some time with it if you haven't, and these topics interest you: boltsmag.org/arkansas-pri...

To be clear, I don't think you should treat this thread as a shopping list. Building a wardrobe requires careful thought and consideration. But for what the average household spent on tariffs last year alone, you could build a significant wardrobe — even items made in the USA.

Fascists suck at memes, well known fact

Not sure if this were just a UK thing, but the ones for the 1992 Olympics are a favourite design memory of mine

Someone calling me a child for this take

lmao, the people chanting “death to amerikkka” hold no real political power

thinking that is how you win people over is what’s childish

S/O to the institution of the Costco Hot Dog once again lmao

SCOTUS when you mess with the neoliberal consensus

Btw thanks for the conversation this morning! Nice to talk about stuff I actually enjoy thinking about for once

Kickstarter/patreon/kofi can change their fee structure at any time but good stand-in for nos; for long term indie economy we need the artists and the administrators to build infrastructure we control

I'm very curious to see what will come out of the Summer Eternal coop project

I think it is ridiculous that we were raised having to pledge allegiance every day to a country "with liberty and justice for all" and now people are mad because some of us actually believed it

At a time where it feels like we're losing, we need to remember our victories that not only have happened in the past, but continue to exist today.

Thus I give you, California Condor 926 of the SoCal flock.

Great grandchild of Condor # 1.

We as humanity can still do good things.

One of the things I love about Alysa Liu’s story is that she did the circuit & excelled at a v high level, competed at an Olympics etc & then quit bc she felt she was done—

And then came back after time away bc it was joyful.

She did this truly only for herself.

She owns this win in every way.

A lovely couple stopped by for breakfast.

Dropout, man I'm so happy for them existing. Best bang for my buck as far as streaming though nebula has some good stuff

Medical bills, ignorance, wanting clout, different specialized skillsets between artists and publishers, just guessing. I do think more people need to do what Team Cherry did but that required a safe base to start from. Big Mode games has done some good publishing though

You go, Gwen. This is totally what Jesus set up all those tables outside the temple for.

Pay-to-pray is what led to the reformation, so I'm glad we're re-living the hits.

For me personally? The million other things vying for my time and effort. People can make their music choices, though I will be bringing this gwen Stefani stuff up. Have to edit my singalong to that one little stranger song

If it gets people to vote for it, I'm fine with its use case here

it's good that massie is doing this but how can an executive order insulate anyone from liability for anything. an eo isn't law, it doesn't bind the judiciary.

@status.archiveofourown.org intermittently experiencing this issue again developers.cloudflare.com/support/trou...

Also, a lot more people than we realize aren’t looking for solutions. They just want to criticize power

I can’t imagine not voting for someone over forgetting to close a door…we’ve all been inconsiderate before, it isn’t a stain on morality. It’s being human lmao

Trump has ordered the National Institutes of Health to cancel their review panels on cancer research. "The impact of [Trump's] collective executive orders appears devastating," one senior NIH employee says.

Trump has signed an executive order to increase production of glyphosate, a weed killer thought to cause cancer.

Trump proactively joined the war on cancer on the side of cancer.
