I would like for wealthy people excited for tax cuts to sign a piece of paper acknowledging that every dollar they get in tax breaks is going to be paid for by someone else…either someone not getting healthcare or SNAP or some future person paying higher taxes to pay the interest on our new debt.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.
Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

It's National Library Week, and a great time to support your local branch by getting a card, using a card, checking out challenged books and those by marginalized authors, and beyond—we need everyone who can to show up and speak up for libraries now more than ever.

If you're in Indiana and pissed about the Imagination Library news, this is your reminder that you need to be writing letters, getting on the phone, and if you can, getting your ass in a chair at the capitol.
Indiana just pulled funding for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library program for the state. This program gifts all children, across the state, free books from birth-age 5.
This one's just fucking cruel.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.
-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

This is a very good reminder to keep your cats indoors. (Er, unless you're leashing them or keeping them on a cat patio.) I know that cats are very special little libertarians who demand their freedom to roam, but keeping them indoors keeps them and you safe. Please and thank you.
SCOOP: Cats that became infected with bird flu might have spread the virus to humans in the same household and vice versa, according to data that briefly appeared online in a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but then abruptly vanished.
