I don't have something I can link y'all to yet, but I have some very credible and important information I need to share.
The American Library Association laid off what I've heard is 15 people this week.
Among them was the director of the Office for Intellectual Freedom. ALA has no OIF anymore.

I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

great article by @idalupenis.bsky.social! I wasn't aware of the context of this album, and her writing made it so easy to follow
Against Me!'s 'White Crosses' is the rare "I need to transition or I'll be dead soon" album. What was subtext now reads as a bold declaration.

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide!
It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers.
It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Today is the day authors are learning how many of their publishers straight up blew off registering copyright and I feel like that deserves a class action suit of its own if it costs everyone their settlement money from the Anthropic suit... 😒🤬
Tor just straight up didn't register the copyright for two of our books, even though they were contractually obligated to do so.
One day I will FULLY describe that shit show. But not today.

"Obesity" doesn't actually make you more likely to contract COVID or suffer from LC. That said, if "obesity" qualifies you to get the vaccine under the CDC's awful, dangerous new rules, *use that to your advantage.* Bringing back a blog entry I wrote on this issue in 2021:

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
