It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

Consumers are being sold an illusion of ownership. "Buy" a digital movie, an e-book, or a game today? Tomorrow, it could vanish. 🕳️

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜

Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

Every so often I see this posted:
“hear me out:
- The scholastic book fair
- For adults
- At a bar”

& almost every time someone will respond, “Mychal’s been trying to create an Adult Scholastic Book Fair! He wants the funds dedicated to local schools to ensure no kid goes home empty-handed.”
