“A library is in a lot of ways a kind of civic symbol, a demonstration of a community’s commitment to itself. So what does it mean if that goes away?” said one librarian in Tieton, Washington, one of the rural small towns in the U.S. where keeping its library is untenable.
Federal Cuts, Immigration Raids and a Slowing Economy Hit Rural Libraries
Like many rural small towns, Tieton, Wash., is facing a confluence of circumstances that has made keeping its one-room library, a “civic symbol” for the town, untenable.

A recent essay, “The Great Feminization,” posits that the growing influence of women is harming U.S. institutions. @sophiegilbert.bsky.social argues that the real problem facing American culture is quite different:
No, Women Aren’t the Problem
America is rapidly becoming the manosphere, but, sure, let’s go after the “feminization” of culture.

What sort of mess is this?! I'm guessing there's some fine print in there that results in money going to GFM and not the #nonprofit #charity orgs if the pages aren't claimed

If only Disney had some Kind of commentary on authoritarian strong men...
Cover of sheet music in red, black, and white. A large humorous caracature of Adolf Hitler is being hit in the eye with an equally large tomato thrown by a relatively smaller Donald Duck in his trademark sailor suit. The force of the tomato not only knocks Hitler's hat off, but also causes the clean eye to form a swastika which is a parody of using exes to denote when a cartoon is dead. The title is in red modern German block letters and reads "der Fuehrer's Face". In white sans serif follows " from the Walt Disney motion picture". At the bottom reads,"Words and Music by Oliver Wallace." Also on the page is "title page ©1942 Walt Disney". " Southern Music Publishing Co, inc. 1619 Broadway, New York." "Buy war bonds and stamps foe victory" A black and white flyer showing the upper body and head of Donald Duck without a hat and wearing a long, loose sleeve shirt hugging an Oscar trophy. The flyer reads: "Once again! Academy Award for best Short Subject cartoon... Der Fuehrer's Face my sincere thanks Walt Disney and staff. Distributed by RKO Radio Pictures, inc."
