Okay, I’m hoping this will gain some traction on Bluesky *inhales* SALEM PUBLIC LIBRARY IN OREGON IS IN DANGER OF CLOSING. This sets a dangerous precedent for state capital libraries!!

This is a continuation of the saga from last year, when we were saved at the last second by the then-mayor. (1/2)

This is a 2x3 moodboard. All pictures have lines that align together to help them flow more into each other and seem more connected. On the left are darker, warm-tinted modern scenes featuring a young man with his arms crossed in a field, a locked rusty door, and a street. On the right are lighter, cool-tinted ancient scenes featuring a young woman delicately embracing flowers, a closeup of a slightly ajar ancient paper door, and a traditional walled cityscape

A German citizen on Tiktok warns US users about the similarities between Hitler’s rise to power & Trump’s collision with Tiktok, goes viral, then when her prophecy comes true, the video is removed for community guidelines violation.

Draw your own conclusions.

Ever since the night their family was ripped apart, Theo and Ellie have been inseparable. They're all they have left. But when an accident gives them powers and morality becomes a question, cracks start appearing; will their bond survive, or will secrets tear them apart? #P2Ppit #A #Q #UW #SFF #R

Why Pigeons Make Bad Nests: A defense of pigeon aesthetics
A six-panel comic. In panel 1, there's a pigeon standing awkwardly next to a pile of sticks with two eggs on it, and the panel is titled "Why pigeons make bad nests: A defense of pigeon aesthetics." In panel 2, a pigeon sits on a pile of sticks: "Many people think that pigeons are bad at making nests. Here are three good reasons why pigeon nests look bad." In panel 3, there's "Reason 1: Some birds, like orioles, nest in tree branches, so they weave elaborate structures that can withstand the elements..." And there's a female Baltimore Oriole weaving an elaborate hanging nest in a silver maple tree. In panel 4, "...but rock pigeons evolved to nest in crevices in cliffs, safely tucked away." And there's a pigeon sitting on a nest in a hole in a cliff. In panel 5, "Reason 2: People domesticated pigeons ages ago. Pigeons didn't need fancy nests because they had human-built homes." A beautiful dovecote shelters a flock of pigeons. In panel 6, "Reason 3: Less time making nest = more time eating seed." A pigeon pecks a seed near its nest, and says "It's called math."
