If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Husband: “Here‘s a bunch of video game suggestions you might like!”

Me: *restarts Horizon series for the umpteenth time*

(Tbf, Horizon was one of his initial video game recommendations, so…it’s not like I never take his suggestions!)

I live near Chicago, and I feel calm and prepared watching this video (we are not getting any snow)

That was our spooky movie pick for Friday the 13th last week! I only saw it for the first time a couple years ago but I was instantly obsessed

Fobazi’s writings on vocational awe revolutionized how I viewed my entire career. This is such a profound loss for the library profession.

"Don't say forcing children into hiding to avoid being taken and sent to detention camps is like the Holocaust, that's degrading it," says party who historically calls letting pregnant people deciding whether or not they want to give birth a Holocaust.

Good morning friends! Some things to remember when you call your senators today:
1. Renee Good's killer is still at large and has not faced justice
2. Alex Pretti's murderers are still at large, unnamed and still working on our dime.
3. 35 people died in ICE custody last year. 35 shattered families

This fascist asswipe needs to be tried and imprisoned for the rest of his miserable life. But this is a small start.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

I keep telling my husband that an appreciation for SpongeBob is the mark of a highly-developed society, but he never believes me

Ask not what your representative will do for you (nothing), ask how you can make your representative so miserable they quit their job

Some days, you just gotta go with “No thoughts, just vibes” (Dini - b&w, Jonesy - tabby).

I’m just hoping no one decides to make a horror movie version of Animal Crackers, because that seems to be the trend with public domain stories

I’m a librarian, so media literacy/information literacy is something I’m deeply interested in and concerned about. And we absolutely need more resources to help navigate all of *gestures wildly* this mess

You know what’s funny? Even though I work in a library with a new building, the stories I’ve heard from staff about the OLD building are very, very familiar……

My back is so screwed up that using a Chirp wheel or a foam roller sometimes triggers my back pain, and I'm like "DAMMIT I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU HERE." However, when I can get in the habit of stretching and then gently using the Chirp wheel, the back cracks are very satisfying 🥰
