Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!
Poor people use libraries. Rich people shut them down because they don't *want* poor people to read.

Real question: why do people make a stink about unfollowing/blocking. Chances are that you'll never meet these people in real life, and if they don't like/your content, they're within their "rights" to do block.
Why do people get butt hurt over this?

I'm following a fun TikTok drama about whether or not a particular author is a vampire for producing so many books in a short period. It's so deliciously lighthearted.

Able-bodied folks must understand that they only have two possible futures: dying young or aging into disability.
Disability justice is for you, too. Policies such as n95s in healthcare settings will keep you healthy longer.
Can you at least be strategically selfish if you can’t be a decent ally?

It is astonishing and upsetting how, not long ago, we had massive reservoirs of all the world's information in our pockets, and now, shitty rich people have poisoned those reservoirs. And now it's just a fucking mess.
If you tell someone to “Google it” at this point you’re telling them to look up five ads and some AI-generated bs instead of the actual thing they want to know.

bluesky will never catch on with the absolutely critical millennial academic demographic without GIFs and videos. we were raised on albinoblacksheep and bulletin boards and came of age in the pivot to video. like the t-rex, we only perceive motion. without it, like the t-rex, we will go extinct.
The lack of ability to post video and GIFs is 👎🏻
it is really annoying that bluesky doesn't have DMs. at this point, that's the main thing keeping me from really setting up shop over here.
