it’s for exactly this reason that my library network’s catalog system does not retain patron borrowing data, or even permit the creation of linked “family” library accounts.
the “free” in “free public library” means, among other things, “free from government interference.”

forget these fucking graphs, start asking people again about what they'd think happen to their lives if they missed two paychecks or if some medical emergency happened to them right now. i think it'd be pretty revealing about why people feel the way they do right now!

This encapsulates my view of transportation options.
one of the undermentioned benefits of public transportation is that bus drivers/train conductors are there to do a job and that job is “move people from point A to point B in a safe and scheduled manner”. they don’t make the same decisions as something thinking “oh god i’m late i’m gonna be fired!”

i am tired of pretending that people who constantly make political choices that are functionally the same as they would make if their only motivation was to preserve their own sexual access to children should be assumed to be doing these things for other reasons
From this point on, I'm forced to assume that every elected politician who does not immediately call for Trump's impeachment is in the Epstein files. Sorry. Just cutting the Gordian knot here, as one does during societal collapse.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears.
“I’ve waited 30 years. I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.”

America is a culture of child abuse. Ask any survivor - we find one another, we form networks and communities.
The true scale of it would stagger and sicken you, and so it is buried, it is swept under the rug, it is denied and the survivors are silenced by whatever means are necessary.

The running theme between the Epstein story, banning trans healthcare for minors, religious homeschooling and the complaints about adult children estranging themselves is a fundamental American belief that children are property with no rights of their own

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.
