What happens when parents and guardians can unilaterally obtain court orders to have their kids seized, rendered to isolation and subjected to potential torture, in some cases dozens of times before adulthood, for 20 years?

We don't know. Nobody asked.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

MAGA and MAHA types love to say “do your own research” & “I’ve done my research”, but they only like “research” if it’s a chiropractor on a podcast talking about why vaccines are satanic or whatever. Peer review & ethics boards are too woke & gay I guess? Smells a lot like Nazi book burning

During the 11 years I was unschooled I went for daily morning walks with my sister, mom, grandparents, chosen fam and dogs in all weather. Here’s some snow capped yarrow I found this evening. It’s -25 C and there’s no such thing as bad weather just the wrong clothing.

Listening to Townes Van Zandt is like the closest I can emotionally get to chain smoking cigarettes without actually smoking one

Everyday I dream that I will somehow have an opportunity to (safely and ethically) pet a very big kitty or a baby big kitty
