here are Ranganathan’s 5 Laws of Library Science.

1. Books are for use.
2. Every reader their book.
3. Every book its reader.
4. Save the time of the reader.
5. A library is a growing organism.

they can be read as a directive for technical efficiency. i read them as an ethical commitment. 📚

My org @fightforthefuture.org has been “de-googling” for the last year.

We’re totally off Google suite, Google docs, Drive, Calendar.

We’re using Signal and Element for chat, Nextcloud for docs, etc

Planning to publish a “how to” guide for other nonprofits and activist groups soonish.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

So many of us on the academic and research side have been trying to warn of what is to come if and when this Supreme Court literally helps “repeal the 20th century” as the right has been stating is their goal for a decade.

If and when birthright goes the reenslavement can begin again.
without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.

revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

Over on the Facebook, you can bet that whether it's ICE brutalizing immigrant toddlers, or the US military mass-murdering civilians in international waters, every person cheering it on makes sure that you know they are a "Christian" in their profile. Every. Single. One.
