The cradle Catholic in me calls out to St. Francis, St. Rita, St Barnabas. Pray for humanity, saints of peace.

Shoutout to Fattey Beer in Kenmore, where they just poured the 2500th beer I’ve logged on Untappd. I had a London Gentleman ESB from Lucky Hare in Oswego. And it was tasty, my friends!

Sláinte!

I was trying to learn to piece equilateral triangles but wrecked all the points of my mountains. So they are now peaks shrouded in violent storms ❄️ or exploding volcanoes. 🌋#quiltsky #patchwork #quilting

There is a LOT of reporting on IMLS right now, but it's being done by people who know what it is. The DOE being dismantled is overshadowing this and that's being done INTENTIONALLY.

But anyway, DOGE is in the IMLS offices right now destroying it.

Say goodbye to interlibrary loans + more.

Screenshot in case the main post gets taken down
Screenshot of a reddit post on r/fednews that reads: DOGE is at the Institue of Museum and Library Services right now, AM 03/20, to shut down the agency The Institute of Museum and Library Services is being raided by DOGE and the new Acting Director (also somehow DepSec of Labor) Keith Sonderling with the express intent to shut it down. Sonderling was sworn-in in the lobby of the office building (955 L'Enfant Plaza) and they are proceeding with quickly and quietly dismantling the agency. There is no major reporting on the death of IMLS. There are Deparment of Homeland Security personnel present - to bully a bunch of civil servants who administer grants to museums and libraries. IMLS offices are on the 4th floor of 955 L'Enfant. There is no media present to document this efficiency saving of .004% of the federal budget. Every library system in the country receives these grants. Museums in every state depend on them. Every penny disbursed is American tax dollars back in American communities. This is one of the 7 federal agencies offered up as a needless sacrificial lamb in the catastrophic resolution and last week's EO.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Eliminating the Institute of Museum and Library Services is just one more way of coming for the most vulnerable people in our country. #IMLS

I miss the old days when you could ignore political news for *hours* at a time without finding out the world ended while you took the kids to soccer practice
