My cat is asleep on my office chair…

It is forbidden to move the sleeping creature

Also my Bsky lists by country/region need updating, so let me know if you'd like to be added to those!

A reminder that when Becky needed to help a co-worker get into English classes that were actually affordable to lower income immigrants, it was the library that facilitated that.

Libraries do so much more than you think they do. They are essential community builders.

Some authors have been able to get their work relisted by removing NSFW tags.

This is not a long-term solution.

If you care about this news, I would strongly urge you to read my comprehensive guide on fighting censorship of trans literature. History has proven the fascist will NOT stop here.

I'm downloading stuff right now

Can't access DMs with verification, lol no

I appreciate any sort of heads up too
