Library Cat by Addison Zeller The cat stretched in the sunlight and talked to us, eyes narrowed, while Marco demonstrated the library machines. He was about to explain the continuous loop system of the paternoster, curtain, or “waterfall” bookshelf. She wants the window open, he said. But it’s a little too chilly. He ran a finge

"The cat stretched in the sunlight and talked to us, eyes narrowed, while Marco demonstrated the library machines."

I'm such a fan of @addisonzeller.bsky.social and this new story is a mysterious wonder, a wondrous mystery. So stoked we get to feature "Library Cat," up now on the site! Go peep! 🐈‍⬛

Imagine if Democrats had run on this instead of "we also hate trans people" 😩

I think if we're going to make it, we have to win people over. And as much as we might want to deliver justice to those on the other side -- what is actually the best path to help achieve the goal of creating a more equitable, compassionate world for everyone?

Urgent: An alarming malnutrition crisis in northern Nigeria Rising malnutrition in northern Nigeria is being met—tragically—with aid funding cuts.

Northern Nigeria is currently facing an alarming malnutrition crisis.

In Katsina state alone, nearly 70,000 malnourished children have already received care from our teams in the first six months of 2025, incl. nearly 10,000 who were hospitalized. www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/urgen...

THE WHITE REVIEW THE LIFE OF ANDY October 12, 1976, Soho, London. Andy stood in the alley outside the Prince of Wales. He felt in the pocket of his leather jacket and found most of a sheet of orange sunshine. Andy couldn't remember putting it there. He couldn't remember how he got to the cinema from the squat in Stoke Newington. But he knew that it was morning, that he was in a crowd of people, some heavy, heavy people, some lightweights, old freaks, young punks, odd straights, and that FANTASIA was about to start inside. Andy balled the blotter in his hand and quickly stuffed it in his mouth. He gagged but kept chewing until it was gone. He turned and gestured to a wrinkly geezer wearing a tartan scarf but no shirt who was seated on a blackened sheet of cardboard in front of the fire exit. The man held up a can of bitter. Andy bolted a swig and handed it back. "Ta very much', said one, 'Nae bother', said the other. A short time later Andy was sat in the dark amid zoo noises, crying and slurping, and that is when the lights began. April 13, 1972, Blackpool. Andy opened the front door and dropped two plastic bags at the foot of the stairs: one with his schoolwork, the other with his PE kit in. He went into the kitchen, turned off the radio, took a bowl from the draining board, opened a cupboard door
