My new old person hack is that sitting down for concerts is preferable, and you should just get a seat where you can do that. They’re usually cheaper too!

a new small post on 柏舟 ("Cypress Boat") from the Book of Songs (c 600 BCE).
My heart is not a mirror
To reflect what others will
My heart is not a stone
It cannot be rolled
My heart is not a mat
It cannot be folded away
我心匪鑑 不可以茹
我心匪石 不可轉也

I don’t care who you are, the one thing that links all of the -isms and bigotries together and sets them on fire is eugenics and ableism.
They’ve been playing you all the entire time. There is no progress in this country for ANYTHING without equity for disabled people.

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.
I liked the Platner ads too but I think there's a difference between "guy who had some bad reddit posts a decade ago" and "ex-Blackwater merc who still has a Nazi tattoo." Sucks bigtime that he's the only one taking positions and talking policy I like, but them's the breaks!

MAGA troll farms attempted to gaslight the US public to turn them away from the NoKings protest coverage. They spread disinformation ranging from "the protests aren't real" to "these videos are from [insert different date or event]". It was a coordinated disinfo attack.

Seconded. This is nationwide. The librarians I know all say it'll take libraries much longer than usual to get new books. Please be patient with them while they sort out how they'll acquire titles moving forward.
It won't hurt to get on waiting lists now for books you know you'll want to read.

This is your reminder to be VERY patient with your libraries as they deal with the loss of what might be their primary vendor.
It’s a hot mess.
Many libraries are nearing the end of their contracts with vendors and have to go out to bid.
But the 2 remaining vendors are swamped.

In a press release, Texas Attorney General calls "transgenderism" a "corrupted ideology" that is "a cancer on our culture."
This is openly genocidal rhetoric about trans people from a sitting AG.

I have been thinking A LOT lately about the flowering of art and culture under the New Deal, when the government decided it actively wanted to invest in job creation and creativity, so it's both sad and typical of the Trump admin to destroy that legacy.
There Was a Plan to Save These New Deal Masterpieces. Then Trump Won.
A feasibility study was underway about restoring the ailing federal building that houses important Ben Shahn frescoes, Philip Guston murals, and other FDR-era artwork. But the Trump administration put...

Republicans are moving quickly to restrict the rights of trans and gay Americans—a fact that does not really bother the MAGA gays buzzing in and around the Trump White House.

The A-Gays of Trump’s Washington are nothing the new—the past is littered with homosexual hypocrites.
