The American Library Association (ALA) made a fundraiser campaign #ForOurLibraries, individuals are able to make an account and join the cause to help raise money. I was on the fence of starting one, but now here it is. The campaign will remain open until December 31st.

🏳️‍⚧️ November 13th - 19th is #TransAwarenessWeek! While trans people (and trans stories) deserve far more than just your awareness, here’s a list of books by and/or about trans people and trans experiences that have been published (so far) in 2025! 🧵
Graphic with background displaying an illustration of blue, white, and pink clouds against a deep blue night sky. At the center of the graphic is a white square with a pink border that has title text within it that says, “Twenty-Two Trans Books Released in 2025 to Celebrate Trans Awareness Week”. Above the title text is an illustration of a heart decorated to resemble the trans flag, and beneath the title text is an illustration of a blue book with its pages splayed open.

The Digital Equity Act was passed in 2021 as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

The Trump Administration put an end to the Digital Equity Act grant programs earlier this year.

So... @everylibrary.bsky.social's Legislation of Concern graphic shows things getting even worse these last two years.

At least, in terms of horrible bills attempted. Most fail to make it out of committee, so there's that.

2023 vs 2025

Twitch is officially releasing age verification in the UK.

Users will need to verify their age using an in-app facial scan; otherwise, they will lose access to watching mature content based on Content Classification Labels (CCLs).
As a UK-based Twitch user, we want to inform you of changes coming to Twitch in order to comply with the UK’s Online Safety Act. Starting today, we are introducing mandatory age verification for users in the UK who want to watch certain types of content on Twitch that may not be suitable for everyone. This change helps ensure that we provide a safe, age-appropriate experience for UK users between the ages of 13 (the minimum age required to use Twitch) and 18.

Definitely check out Luke's Twitch streams and YouTube channel. Been watching his content for a couple years, and he is honestly one of the best people I tune into and completely vibe there. It would be awesome if you give him some kind words and support. 💛☀️

Just a little life/content update 🩵
Thanks for sticking by me and I hope we can do some cool shit soon
(also i post all of my updates in my discord so join it please)
An announcement written by Luke that states: @everyone Hi everyone! Sorry for such a big ping but I wanted to share some info that I hadn’t posted here yet. If you missed the last stream, I talked pretty open about this but I no longer have a job. I was let go officially on November 3rd and streaming/content creation is going to be my main source of income until I find something else. That being said, I want to stress that before anyone considers giving me money to please take care of yourselves first. Some free ways to support me include: - Following and watching streams - Subbing to the YouTube channels (main channel and vods) - Watching the YouTube videos all the way through (this is one is *extremely* helpful) Now onto some more fun news! A more formal post will be coming but if I still have all this free time by December, the Yule Goat Subathon will be returning! Obviously this is rather last minute so I haven’t had a lot of time to think of fun goals/incentives so feel free to give me some ideas. I have some fun challenge runs lined up that I think will make some content so be on the lookout for that as well! Finally, thank you to everyone who is still hanging out in here and in streams while I wasn’t as active. I really missed hanging out with everyone and hopefully I’ll be able to more over the next little bit!

new cover art for my zelda comics second chapter, since i didnt like the old version anymore and recently decided to resume work on it and redo both the cover and the pages i had already done

#art #fanart #zelda #tloz-destiny (im gonna use this tag for it just in case i decide to post it here too)
the new cover art for the second chapter (titled "a dance of ice and fire") of the legend of zelda fancomic "Destiny" made by Ganondoodles; it features Demise and Hylia in a battle scene standing opposed to each other surrounded by lava and ice created by them as the valley around them is breaking from the forces at play.

This comment means the world! The library is for everyone. For autistic you, ADHD you, dyslexic you, neurodivergent you 💚

It is difficult for some to use a library voice, to whisper. THAT’S OKAY. You belong in the library, we will work together. I admire YOU 😊

Take a look, it’s in a book 💛
Text from Brittany Belka reads, “My son has went to the library and has checked out each of these books at different times and walked around saying "I'm just like Mychal the Librarian mommy!" And then will ask to watch the episode that matches the book so he can read along with the story as it's read. Mychal, you are a true gift in life and you continue to make a difference everyday! My son is neurodiverget and was scared to go to the library because he knows you have to be quiet and it's hard for him to do so. Once he heard you say he is welcome to all libraries he sprung into action and begged to go to the library! Thank you for all you do and continue to do. You are a light in our home and we admire you and Reading Rainbow 🌈 “
