reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

conservatives/republicans going full on fascist with occupying cities with the military is yet another reminder to NEVER TAKE CONSERVATISM SERIOUSLY. THEIR CRITICISMS AREN'T REAL. YOU CAN'T MEET THEM HALF WAY. THEY AREN'T A SERIOUS IDEOLOGY. THEY CAN ONLY BE CRUSHED, NOT DEBATED.
thank you.

This was really wild because writing this article (which explained how female lions are in charge of the pride) really revealed to me how common it is for men to make male lions their entire personality and definition of manhood.
I was dogpiled, brigaded, and attacked for WEEKS.

Another reason to understand libraries as a site of struggle, especially now. Public libraries give children freedom to explore and children’s librarians treat them as real people. And surprise! Lots of people really hate that
the US profoundly needs a children's rights movement. children are not property... they deserve opportunity and learning and autonomy and security.... and our country just does not acknowledge this
