remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

January 2025 is rivaling March 2020 as the longest month ever.

Sometimes, there is a real difference between the lesser of two evils.

January 2025 as a meme

The Washington Post’s New Mission: Reach ‘All of America’ This week, The Post began trying out a new mission statement: “Riveting Storytelling for All of America.”

If I want storytelling, I’ll go to the fiction section of my public library. From a news outlet, I want facts.

AI didn’t write your favorite book.

Does anyone know of any other examples of where a video synchs perfectly to other audio, like the This Is America video clip set to Call Me Maybe?

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size.

At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

Out of every national election some institutions decay and die, while others emerge and grow stronger. Legacy media is a sad example of the former. Bluesky is a hopeful example of the latter.

Post by Taniel: A Wyoming judge just struck down WY's abortion bans. Get this: Judge invoked a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... that was passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare! Just backfired.

Talk about self-owns! This is rather amazing news on the abortion rights front.

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people

daily reminder to support your local library, even if that’s just by checking out ebooks! 📚

This is the rallying call that I've needed to hear since November 6th. From Roxane Gay in today's New York Times www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

Recommendation:

At your public library, check out gorgeous art books this winter.

You know, that huge type of book you wouldn't necessarily buy -- but is a glory to keep company with for awhile.

Advice from a Literature teacher and resister: read your history, but don’t forget your literature.

Resistance is woven through the words of abolitionism and feminism and anti-fascism. Read the history and the literature.

Encourage your children to start a banned book club 📕 💙 ❤️
