So @mightystickbug.bsky.social has told me for literally 2 decades how crazy Townsville is.

Lucky me in a cab on the way to the airport to go to Townsville for work...

This isn’t true, but it is true that slaveowners routinely enslaved and sold their children.
The US government is packed from top to bottom with racist violent settlers since they first washed ashore.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

For probably 2 months @mightystickbug.bsky.social and I have been planning to move Puck's ramp out of our bedroom and under the guest room bed so Squirrel can't squeeze under it.

Just did it now and it took 5 minutes. And that includes vacuuming under where the ramp was.

The dark cruelty of a contrarian small press that has pledged to print history "as is" defending its decision to remove the secret code this guy used to document his murders from his diaries as "unprintable", and so censoring the destruction of a people by editing history, is just next level.

The underlying problem with having a "nuanced opinion on trans athletes" is that the status quo was already the nuanced view (typically a certain period on hormones, usually years post transition, decided on a sport by sport basis BY their awarding bodies), critics don't actually want that.
