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

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Can someone please remind Texas that it’s still winter? I hate the cold but this is unsettling. #climatechange

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Remember those who have been killed, injured, abused, tortured for being who they are.

Remember those who have taken their own lives because they could not live in a world where they could not be themselves.

Remember them. And make the world remember them.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

I appreciate all of you who use the Alt-text description for the images you post. As a blind dude I feel so much more included here.

For those of you who forget:
Did you know there’s a reminder in Settings/Accessibility to toggle on & then it won’t let you post image without Alt-text.

Thanks 🙏😎

What's the offer?

Okay, here's my counteroffer: Go fuck yourself
