A.S.K., a librarian

Reminder:

Yesterday was a bad day, not a bad life.

Today will be better.

You will do your best with whatever comes your way.

You are stronger than your worries.

I'm proud of you

Curious, that.

Same as "it was about preserving our way of life and livelihood"

WHOSE way of life and livelihood specifically?

And, why didn't the statues go up right in the post-war era then? Why in the early 20th century? Hmmmm...

I always ask...If it wasn't slavery, why did a bunch of Confederates move to Brazil where slavery was still legal for 20+ more years. Why pick THAT country?

The confederates are so funny. The rest of us are out here being normal, and they’re like “remember that time we came in second place in a war?”

Imma block em but I wanted to take a moment to appreciate your alt text

Look, there are a lot of things you can say about this, and, if I'm honest, there are a lot of things that I'm resisting the urge to say about this.

But I'll say this much: software companies broke ownership. The longer we go without fixing that, the more we're going to regret it.

We aren't brave as individuals which why we need numbers. Collective action paves a way for collective courage.

People get snooty when you live in a small city surrounded by rural areas.

Listen, we BOTH still have to drive 45 minutes to pick up that piece of furniture from Craig's list/Marketplace, the scenery is just different

I accidentally wrote chronic hell instead of chronic health...seems more accurate though

Houston is enraging because of the traffic but the food scene is excellent. Dallas generally creeps me out bc it feels soulless to me

I'm going to metaphorically hold your hand when I tell you this but that's not the flex you think it is 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Liz Warren to her absolute credit shows up on CNBC and is willing to call everyone a stupid piece of shit in a way that even Bernie would refrain from

Houston keeps trying to make it to the big 3 and failing 😂😂

Now, Israel bars foreign media, Netanyahu says, “there is no starvation,” and Gazans face severe hunger.

Meanwhile in the US, Trump just fired head of the BLS for data he didn’t like.

Leaders ignore Amartya Sen’s lesson at their peril: suppressing the free flow of information risks catastrophe.

With each accommodation this administration makes for Ghislaine Maxwell, it retraumatizes the victims and minimizes the harm she caused. And we're supposed to believe that these are the people who are super concerned with pedophelia and sex trafficking? Are MAGA supporters still buying this shit?

ok i figured out the bones of a bot i want to make. if anyone wants to help, i need ttrpgs with character creators that require picking from characterizing adjectives that provide significant example lists. ie: old gods of appalachia, dream askew, the king is dead

Me three months ago:

I think it would be incredible if there was a museum devoted to black sitcoms.

Easy for me: A Museum of Protest Ephemera

Sometimes I think of how only two generations of us were even allowed to attend these settler colonial ass universities in tiny, awkward handfuls, and how even that was too much

Parable of the Sower really messed with me, but one of the ways it MOST messed with me (in a good way) was its insistence on the inevitability and persistence of change.

We're never going back, but also we never WERE going back.

This rollercoaster never had a reverse button. Time never does

I don't know how it got to be the end of summer but...

Hi! I'm the book content editor for Reactor Mag and I'm looking for 2026 sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and crossover speculative books! If you've got an adult or YA SFFH book publishing next year please share the link/info here!

How many little kids right now meant to grow up to become scientists, academics, artists, may never get the same inspiration we did just by turning on TV for free, because we used to agreed as a society that was worthwhile to offer everyone

I don't think this person understands what "lessons learned" means

Is any (academic) library collecting Zdarsky Comic News?

Every day it’s sorting out the things that seem bad but are actually worse than they appear from the things that look truly terrible but end up being only as depressing as everything else.

I'm genuinely terrified of this becoming a tactic for targeted harassment.

Not just of librarians, but that's why I'm worried about it most right now. 📚
