Is there anything more on-brand for society today than a guy with no relevant education or expertise strutting in after public health slashed child mortality by over 95% since the 1800s, and taking a hatchet to the place while saying, “Let me show you how it’s done”?

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

Happy #NoKings Day, y'all! Remember when we had a President whose sense of empathy could lead him to bend low before a child? Me, too. #Obama

If you can't attend the rallies today for whatever reasons, something useful you can do is scour your local news outlets for coverage and share the coverage on social media and pump it out to all of your networks. Amplify what's happening locally so others in your communities are aware.

@boxen.bsky.social How cool is THIS?! Don't know if it's accessible to non-conference attendees, but maybe you'll eventually be going to ALA stuff once you get fully integrated into that sweet library life.

Respectfully, if you're a white person with a lot of privileges I think posting publicly that you are scared to attend a rally is some real bullshit. It has to be said.

It's an important role in the current information environment for each of us to become our own news aggregators and to disseminate that actual news through our own networks.

It feels weird to post about this but: I have a book out on Tuesday. Please buy it. I'd love to keep writing. If you can't buy it, please ask your library to order it. I'm signing here at 6PM on 6/17 with Sarah Hawley! There will be treats, chat, and books. www.villagebooks.com/book/9781464...

In biggest land-back deal in California history, the Yurok get back the final piece of 73 sq mi of their homeland on the state's far northern Klamath River. Good piece by Grist highlights how this Yurok land deal is just part of the extraordinary changes taking place in this part of N America.

Love this article/series, particularly this quote from Hella Péter: "Just because me and the other featured ecologists are still in the field, it does not mean ecology is an accepting and accommodating place for disabled people in general." www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...
