I wonder if a billionaire means personal liberties and free markets in the same way i do

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

Darth Vader's full name was Dartholomew Space Invader

Yeah, that's exactly what this anti DEI purge is all about. Censoring minorities and expelling trans people out of public life.

They literally just did a search for key words and then fired everyone. This is the laziest fucking coup in history. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

They were obviously going for petulant jingoism, and Gulf of Freedom Fries was *right there*

In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructor’s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it 🐊

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Chloe goes close up for a very late #caturday pic

Even before you raise the blinds, the silence give it away. Year’s first.

This video report is foreboding & a great teaching tool. At the same time so much to say about how often this and other outlets did not do this kind of reporting more and sooner. “Hear from people who missed the first signs” (and you should) as the framing w/ no institutional reflexivity.

stop using spotify; buy media = support artists, music, production, promotion & manufacturing jobs.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we must recommit ourselves to educating each other about the horrors of the Holocaust — and fight back against authoritarianism. There isn't "too much focus on past guilt." There's a blatant attempt to rewrite the atrocities of the past.

A Fan Is Attempting To Recreate Celeste On The NES, And You Can Play It Now. (Repost)

We keep hearing about masculinity from the Zuckerbergs of the world-- this woman has shown more courage in this 60-second clip than any of the tech billionaires have shown in recent memory as they grovel at Trump's feet.

For real — get a library card, sign up for hoopla, kanopy, and Libby and then enjoy

Approximately thirty seconds of Chloe grooming Una for #caturday

One of the things I like about Pico-8 is that you can find a game like Balloon. Balloon would never have made it back in the 8 bit days because it's completed quickly. But the game is fun, has nice animation and music, and is a labor of love obvs. Games don't have to be novels. They can be poems.

I support renaming geography but only with fantasy names. Gulf of Mexico can be the Cauldron of Tempests. The Rocky Mountains are the King’s Teeth

Just underestimated how much tea was left in my cup, and now it's on the front of my shirt

One of us has completed Windy-Cloudy Sunday Afternoon Nap Routine and one of us hasn’t

For no reason whatsoever, presenting my installed Steam library. It doesn't include the UFO 50, the one Windows game I have installed in Crossover (I'm on macOS). Have I played all of these? Uhhhhh... maybe not? I'm digging DREDGE right now, though.

Remembering my very sweet first cat, Ember this #Caturday. She had amazing ghost spots and wispy fur on her head. Such a loving and gentle soul

it’s so important for your one brain cell to have hobbies

The sheer heart stopping beauty of Notre Dame on the Winter Solstice as the light falls …

Love that I have two cats who are this close

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers: Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users. That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

Please share my post. I publish on old games fanzines and am currently researching the history of moving arcade cabinets. Tell me about EXIDY's 'Rolling Star Fire (1979)' and 'Vertigo (1985)'.

Ugh. I'm sick with a cold, and my presence is 100% required at my workplace for our holiday open house. And it's raining. And the cats want to snuggle. And it's too early. And I'm si... oh I said that already

me: do you think he called himself T.S. Eliot so nobody would notice that T. Eliot is toilet backwards? librarian: stop talking

Don't be a Nosferatu today, be a Yesferatu.

A Palestinian boy and his cat emerged from the rubble caused by an Israeli air strike as he headed to the hospital for treatment.

For the last few days, we’ve had these helpful goats performing important landscaping work at the library

I'm not on twitter anymore, but this tweet from 2 years ago is sadly more accurate than ever
