TRUTH
I will say over and over again that us library folk need to be louder in our support of the Post Office. Because guess what—if they start thinking of USPS in terms of“making” or “losing” money, libraries won’t be far behind.
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

A very good reminder for World AIDS Day that Dave Grohl is actually a horrific human being, in case you didn't know!
I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl.

every single one of my SW friends is disabled. being able to set your own hours, work more or less depending on fluctuating pain levels, and not work for 8+ hours straight are all vital accommodations and few jobs allow them; of course disabled people often choose SW. being anti SW is ableist.
People really think the primary connection between disability & SW is disabled clients. But a disproportionate number of SW are disabled ourselves. You only don't know that bc it doesn't fit the stereotypes that claim disabled people aren't sexy & SW all look the same

idk the NYT called up ms rachel to ask if she was funded by hamas so i'm not sure the NYT exactly has impeccable judgment on what makes a whole news story
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.
