I can’t believe the hatred of some people. A man at the laundromat I’ve never met just started rambling to me about how horrible it is that all these people have been coming into the country, and if they came around here (rural IL) they’d get shot in the head. Human beings.

Look, there are a lot of valid criticisms to make of the Ivies, but “fuck this administration, we’re making our civics courses free so you can understand WHY fuck this administration” is a baller move.
3 cheers for prosocial spite.

We're almost out of time to #FundLibraries. We need you to call Congress TODAY.
Tell Congress to fund libraries in next year's federal budget: bit.ly/Call2FundLibraries
Without sustained funding, legal wins for the future of the Institute of Museum & Library Services will only be temporary.

Why didn’t anybody ever tell me journaling could help me reflect on how I’m feeling and work logically through my harmful thoughts?*
*she had, in fact, been told these things by numerous friends and professionals.

We might feel a LITTLE bit strongly about the importance of libraries. Luckily, there’s a week for that! Now’s time to yell about your love for libraries from the rooftops. Tell your friends to get a QLL membership (or donate if ya can!)

Cutting all those CDC and FDA departments isn’t about cost-cutting. It’s about weeding out people who are sick or disabled. It’s eugenics.

Trump didn't seem to understand that when Zelensky said "you will feel it," he did not mean emotions. He meant it in a metaphorical physical sense. As in, you will feel these bad things happening to you soon too.
