Illinois voters! Here's a guide to the upcoming consolidated elections for contested public library trustee positions. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

This, by the by, is an effing disaster if it holds up. The number of public libraries that will go under if IMLS is shuttered is mind-boggling. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This little thief just stole one of my bird feeders! You have to admire the technique, though.

I believe this right here is why they say everybody wants to be a cat.

If you have a Democratic senator, call them now. Today. Ask them whether they're going to vote *against* the Continuing Resolution to fund the government. If they give you a squishy answer, make it clear to them that you need to hear "Yes." If you want to yell at elected Dems, now's the time

Between this and a permanent resident being disappeared...I would not visit the U.S. right now if you have another option. A tourism collapse would be devastating to so many Americans who *are* on the right side of history, but if you won't be safe, you shouldn't come.

NEVER.

Timely words from an Edward Gorey bird.

watched this like 8 times and laughed harder every time (sound up)

"Have you said thank you once this entire meeting? No!"

Same, wee owl. Same.

Age yourself with a movie you saw in the theater…

I just wrote a quick blog post about why Substack writers should switch to Ghost! micahflee.com/2025/02/not-...

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

And it ys sayde the Faerie folke yet lyve, but seldom evir do thei appeare to mortals because thei thynke to themselves "yikes! why bothir goinge anywhere near a cybertruck?"

I was about to post this. 👇 There's *always* a Pratchett quote. 🙌💖 #GNUTerryPratchett

If your writing didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be going after our books and our stories and desperately trying to rewrite them and/or destroy them. Language is power.

Unacceptable!

Today I am going to ponder my personal Rubicon. Maybe you can take few minutes to watch this provoking video, and join me. I think we need to know where the line is and start figuring out what to do. youtu.be/0YFdwfNh5vs?...

In case it helps someone: The phrase “We don’t do / say that here” is immensely useful in managing people who feel emboldened to try to push boundaries and test behaviour norms in your spaces. It’s a bland statement of fact, doesn’t contain an accusation, and can be used by anyone including peers.

shamelessly stealing this from @amandasmith.bsky.social because i’d like to: • encourage you to tap this post & scroll the revisions • remind you NYT is both unprepared for this moment & actively enabling it • yell that NYT works hard to endanger trans people • tell you to drop your subscription

If you see this, post a fictional artist/band that you would love to see live. With much respect to the late, great Sam Moore… youtu.be/_93ShKPL37M?...

Today, I visited Union Avenue Books in Knoxville, TN. I needed a selfie with The Fifth Season by @nkjemisin.bsky.social. This is a beautifully written sci-fi/fantasy tale that we read for my book club this month! #ReadFreely #UniteAgainstBookBans

Since it's technically tomorrow on the east coast, here's an #EmotionalSupportSpood with illegal head tilt

Just making sure that everyone is aware of this crab that NOAA scientists found

RIP to a real one. I can still vividly remember seeing Blue Velvet when it was released at the theater with my friends Drew, Bryan, and Will. I was a movies person from that point forward. Thanks for the wild and fantastic visions, good sir.

Who is your celebrity “Birthday Twin” (born same day as you)? Answer with pic or gif only.

If you see this, post a vampire.

"Post a photo of yourself from another era" I look like a deranged Easter Bunny.

Books read in December: Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, On Wings of Ash and Dust by Brittany Wang, Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin, Pyramids by Terry Pratchett… /1

@hangmanpage.bsky.social cares about the people.

Spent part of Christmas watching the Kate Bush Christmas special from 1979. I give it as many A+’s as Ralphie’s teacher.

Olive wishes everyone a very Merry Chrismukkah!
