I love this.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Call your MPs! Let them know that if they do this, they will never get your vote again.

Organizers in Yancey County, North Carolina, are fighting to prevent anti-gay pro-censorship extremists from taking over their library system. Read more about the case and donate to the legal fund! www.ourlibraryourvoice.org

Althia Raj has some of the best reporting on Carney in the mainstream press. She calls Carney's Bill C-5 "unlike any piece of legislation we have seen in Canada federally." Bill C-5 will strip all checks and balances on development and extraction in Canada. Carney must be stopped.

Mark Carney is using an emergency, largely manufactured, to consolidate state power, including police surveillance and military; to ramp up deportations & xenophobia; to strip rights (including Indigenous); & to eliminate checks/balances on capital. There are so many historical parallels for this.

Reposting this so that I remember to tune in for it.

This is so much fun

we see you

Science publications got you covered 🧪

Corporations shamefully distance themselves from Pride 2025!

🧵It’s easy to get lost in the trap of thinking that the Carney government’s violences are not as severe as Trump’s. But the structure of what he’s doing is the same. His surveillance bill and his nation-building projects are conditionalizing and limiting the way anyone gets to exist in Canada.

Kudos to the bird that managed to shit an image of itself onto this bloke's car.

This is never an issue in issue in interlibrary loan. We will keep and reuse boxes long past When they should have died because "hey, it's a good size, it can do one more trip!" We also don't care what boxes we use, although we might have looked like alcoholics after we got hold of those vodka cases

This aggressive colonialism is what Carney is driving across the country. And soon your ability to object will be curtailed via the surveillance state Carney is building. I apologize for posting so much about this motherfucker, but things are about to get a lot worse very soon.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Library workers–have you already experienced pushback, censorship, or attacks on your plans for Pride 2025? I'm again collecting those stories for an article in mid-July. I'll share this link throughout June as well. Details in the form, w/ previous stories. tinyurl.com/pride-in-libraries-25

I was a presenter on an AI unpanel through the university's Centre for Teaching and Learning on Thursday (did a quick provocation on AI in library cataloguing). This morning in a cafe the waiter looks at me and says "did you do an AI presentation this week?" Fame is a burden, but I bear it well.

Nothing is inevitable. There is an alternative: Be excellent to each other.

The 'importance' is that it supports their message, and they genuinely don't care if it reflects what actual, real, scientific research can tell us.
