Happy International Women's Day -- the fight for your right to your own destiny is always the right fight.

Women Resisters!

I had to bring this here because it’s so good

The radical “Pop-Art Nun” Corita Kent is moving to downtown LA.

“I'm horrified by what the Trumpists are doing and by the moral ugliness of it; but I'm moved and exhilarated by what a whole lot of the rest of us are doing, and the moral beauty of it. The horror and the wonder can coexist, just as the worst and best of us do.” @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

This is a really good summary of the whole Trump tariff clown show in a way that probably only the Canadian Broadcasting Corp cld do. Not like aggressive, just a dispassionate and very clarifying. Even elegant. Quite good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHoZ...

There were many attempts to distill Project 2025. I read some good online primers about it. But the vast majority of the country just heard the words "Project 2025" and did not attempt to look into what it meant. And I think this is something to sit with for the future. HOW do you get ppl to read?

if you buy used books and want to avoid amazon where possible, check out bookfinder.com you can search essentially every marketplace in one go so you can, e.g., find the same used copy for sale, from the same seller, on biblio.com or ebay instead of amazon or abe (owned by amazon)

You have a life!

Ryan Preciado’s first solo museum show emerged from his obsession with Manuel Sandoval, a Nicaraguan carpenter who worked for Frank Lloyd Wright. Through objects and ephemera, Preciado resurrects a craftsman erased from history whose work persists in architectural monographs and museum collections.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

Happy Amazon Boycott Week! Remember to shop for your indie ebooks on places like Itchio, Kobo, Smashwords, and B&N! #booksky

Good morning and happy Friday! 💙

Murakami vibes.

hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?

Since you all enjoyed this so much I made it a free pattern on my website for those that want to stitch their very own. www.badasscrossstitch.com/makestuff/fr...

If you work in a library and are currently cataloguing a garden book by an author with a better name than TWIGS WAY then I'd like to know about it. #WorldBookDay2025

Again: what happens here in Tennessee is coming your way next. Pay attention. They openly say they want this to end up at the Supreme Court. tennesseelookout.com/2025/03/06/t...

Reminder: Amazon Blackout—starting tomorrow. Amazon ❌, Whole Foods ❌ off the to-do list!

Happy World Book Day!

Well said!

The Supreme Court decision should have been 9-0. The fact it was 5-4 reveals how utterly compromised the bench is in favor of right-wing authoritarianism.

Kingston NY's 50501 Movement rally Tuesday evening was a raucous scene. Honking cars streaming by tended to drown out the speakers to the delight of many lining Broadway. @50501movement.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social #50501movementNY

Fox News Corporation plaza ... your normal midtown Tuesday noon gathering. @50501movement.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social @riseandresist.bsky.social

There were many posters on view at the 50501 Movement protests Tuesday ... but one amazing one imho. (These were in Kingston NY) @50501movement.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social

Like a sardine can best described the Fox News Corporation plaza Tuesday for a chant-filled hour. #50501movementNY @riseandresist.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social

When in doubt, go with classical references. Signage Tuesday in NYC and Kingston, NY #50501movementNY @50501movement.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social

Things are definitely getting weird when The Great Communicator is quoted at a NYC protest in the Fox News Corp's plaza. #50501movementNY @riseandresist.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: The object of government in peace and in war is not the glory of rulers or of races, but the happiness of the common man. -William Beveridge, economist and reformer (5 Mar 1879-1963) (from @wordsmith.com)

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

I know it sounds like the ultimate editor-nerd-Stephi thing to have a favorite typo, but...

One of my very favourite things to do …

Abolition was an unpopular position for a few decades. A struggle made votes for women, civil rights, marriage equality popular enough to become law. On the other hand the KKK had its popular periods. Popularity is bunk. The question is if you lead or follow.

Not a crocus in sight. #nocrociyet #poughkeepsie #vassar #sunsetlake
