I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

what a better idea for blue states to join Canada!

old US could change its name to MAGALand & fester contentedly without opposition in the land of astronomically expensive health care, school shootings, T***p-sanctioned bigotry/cruelty, ubiquitous E. Musk & much, much more.

@profgalloway.com in today's episode of Pivot, as another lesbian, I have to agree with Kara, that taking down those .gov sites related to LGBT info is ABSOLUTELY intending harm to LGBT people, in addition to the poor. Love listening to you but disappointed you missed the mark there straight dude.

such a dramatic, brilliant film--shocking in its time, in a good way.

after 33 years "The Crying Game" holds up well.
The Crying Game was released 33 years ago. The gender reveal was a surprise but no one seemed to attach any personal feelings to it. 33 years ago!

Put a White House run by a man found liable for business fraud, running a fake university, and running a fake charity, in charge of the United States' first-ever "sovereign wealth fund," so his administration can make business deals, keep profits and decide what to do with them. What could go wrong?

Why do so many American citizens think that these sweeping tariffs are a win when tariffs are typically paid by the importer, with costs often passed to the consumer?

Ironic this came up in my feed moments after I posted about my book which discusses a sexual orientation discrimination case. Is this the groovy algorithm of choice of Bluesky at work?

Just published my new book, The S & S Bar and Grill, the memoir of my co-author, Lynn Sprout. If you lived in Urbana, IL in 2004, you know that name. a.co/d/5qBH7Gg
