Sometimes I wish cancel culture had been real. Just imagine how great it would be if some of these chuckleheads had lost all respect and ability to reach an audience the first time they started saying evil shit.

trillion dollar industry that will revolutionize everything

How to change a swastika that cant be removed

CW: medication, weight loss, mildly gross body stuff? I feel very squishy and I hate it. Someone once described me as “packed like a sausage” and it’s true, I’m very dense. But now I can feel my skin sliding around. “And when she stopped dancing / bits of her kept wobbling about”

I canceled my audible subscription (even though I had a few unused credits) and bought a Libro FM membership. @libro.fm is employee-owned & shares profits w/ your chosen locally owned bookstore. I feel SO GOOD about this! libro.fm/story

Scrubs.

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

His family makes it all the time. So I eat it. Because I’m 1) a trash compactor in human form and 2) polite. If I get offered cake, I’m probably eating it, almost regardless of flavor. But I don’t ~like~ it. I won’t choose it unless it’s the lesser of two evils.

RIP Lynne Stewart, the most beautiful woman in Puppetland 💔

I love my husband, I do, but I swear to god he simply cannot remember that I don’t fucking like red velvet cake.

Public Library Ebook Service to Cull AI Slop After 404 Media Investigation

LC gave one day's notice to change the subject heading to "Gulf of America" but its own country code for Zimbabwe still references the white supremacist-run Rhodesia, which gained internationally-recognized independence as Zimbabwe in... 1980

things you can do right now instead of doomscrolling: -eat some food -call an elected representative -donate money to a food bank, local charity or mutual aid org -volunteer -clean your home -take a shower -go for a walk -read a book -write in a journal -plan a trip -play with a pet -meditate

A wife who loves you doesn’t let you leave the house like this.

been around the world and ay ay ay a dingo ate my baby

Show proof of the threats to your heavily armed fanbase? Perhaps publicly, as a group, stand together and disavow what’s happening?

Ritchson is getting hotter by the day.

Hey all. This is just a reminder. Take care of yourselves. Take time to breathe. Go for a walk. Talk to family and friends. Play a game. Watch a show. Be mindful of your stress levels. Withdraw if you need to. Then come back to the fight. Love y’all.

If you know anyone in Delaware they need to be encouraged to call their state reps and Governor right now, and take to the streets. Musk cannot be allowed to get this money easily

Unfortunately, I opened this book at the public library. Her “adoptive father”????

3 snow days!

JUST IN: NASA says there's now a 3.1% chance an asteroid will hit Earth in 2032, up from 2.6% yesterday. This is the highest risk assessment an asteroid has ever received, surpassing 2.7% in 2004

Good.

It’s me, and 180 other employees at US National archives

#DidThisToday Wrote the LoC to say that the Gulf of Mexico, as an international body of water, cannot be legally renamed unilaterally and that therefore the LoC will be participating in a violation of international protocols or even laws by publishing this change.

LC published a tentative list to change #LCSH Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America & Mt Denali to Mt McKinley. Comments on the proposed changes can be sent to [email protected] by Tues. February 18, 2025 (which is TODAY). If you oppose the change, please email! #critcat (classweb.org/tentative-su...

Two snow days. I can’t lie. I needed this. I might go take a nap.

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

For a piece I'm working on reporting, if you're studying library science or are working in a library (especially if you're earlyish in your career), I'd love to speak about what you're hearing & experiencing right now. You can be anonymous. [email protected] or Signal rstauff.20

Anyone out there filed your taxes yet? Like. Do we do that this year?

I got that dog in me (I’m scared of the doorbell)

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚

Women couldn’t have their own credit until 1974. Marital rape became illegal nationwide in 1994. We are ONE generation into women having a CHANCE at life & it’s proved so intolerable America would rather end itself than allow such a thing to continue.

Others have said this more succinctly than I, but these are the folks you can agitate amongst in the coming months/years and bring into a new oppositional coalition. Voter’s regret is a powerful emotion to harness and redirect into new organizing

This purported post screenshot is going around, and look, I don't like these people, but leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...

Despite everything else going on, I'm giving Zepbound another go. Except I can't start at the lower (starting) dose, so I have to start back at 5mg. Took the shot on Saturday. Feel like I've been hit by a truck this morning. I'm doing this again why?

In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.
